It's incredibly easy to create this illusion- just cover those long legs, cardboard or painted foam both work well, cut holes in a pair of shoes so you can pull them up around your knees, find a really short pair of pants and you're shortening illusion is complete.
Now the only parts that still look like they belong on a tall person are your really long arms...

Wise cracking Spider Man not included...

(warning- even though these are food products the images found at the link below are shockingly gross!)
