I rewatched the Muppet Christmas Carol last night and was struck by the realism of the Ghost of Christmas Present.

I assume that this particular muppet is a man in a suit, a la Big Bird, but there's a few things I could not figure out. Specifically, the eyelids open and close and the pupils move.

How did the Jim Henson company achieve this? Or is it a closely guarded secret?
