The wide range of illusions of proprioception produced by hiding one hand behind a mirror and performing operations visible in that mirror have been recognized for some time.
We report a similar effect using a putty-like substance, in which we refer to as the Slime Hand. In this setup, a flexible putty is manipulated by pinching and stretching from the center or an edge while the same pinching and stretching motion is performed on the hand behind the mirror. This operation has a quite high rate of success in causing the mapping of the participant's skin of the hand onto the putty.
