The footage was created by James Trouble, who runs the YouTube channel Kicking Mustang, and describes himself as a "hide-and-seek champion".
Speaking to the Mail Online, he said: "I've always had a love for hide and seek… I got hooked on the thrill of becoming invisible.
"I think if you manage to spot me half the time, you're doing well."
