He realised his mistake and quickly noticed he was being filmed as the whole crowd erupted in cheers and laughter.

The man, who was dressed in a smart tan suit with a yellow shirt and blue-tinted sunglasses, took the joke well as he threw his head back in a fit of laughter and waved to the camera.

He then proceeded to take off the poncho to begin a second attempt, putting it over his head the correct way round this time.

The cameras stayed fixed on him as he fumbled with the sleeves and the head hole, as the whole crowd watched captivated.
