Anyone who thinks that cosplaying is just about posing in costume is wrong. Much like characters at Disneyland, it's about illusion and interaction. So when we caught faux “Ask a Ninja” dude in line for the Masquerade Saturday afternoon at Comic-Con shouting for passers-by to ask him one question, “just one question,” we couldn't help but oblige. But being a reporter, I felt compelled to sneak in as many hard-hitting inquiries as possible. Watch the video to see how to trick a (slightly drunk) ninja.
