Fake Arm Selfie Stick

While still a concept, the Fake Arm Selfie Stick is a cool (and maybe slightly creepy!) product that can help you in taking selfies effortlessly, all while making it seem like you and your loved one are quite the photographers!
Designed and created by Aric Snee and Justin Crowe, the selfie stick is in the shape of an arm, which you hold by the stick’s ‘hand’ and attach your phone to the other end. So in the photograph it looks like you are holding your friend’s hand while they take your picture, but in reality you are just a crazy person holding a dead arm and taking pictures!
