I'm guessing the woman doing the top half is actually a double amputee - as a chum pointed out she looks very used to walking on her hands. Kind of like when John Carpenter used a man who had lost both arms for the scene in the Thing where the stomach grows teeth and bites his arms off - looks real as he staggers back, obviously not got his real arms stuffed inside his shirt since the man didn't actually have any anymore. How the legs were done I don't know, but it is a great riff on one of the oldest tricks.
It was quite a shock! I've absolutely no idea how he did it in full view of the public. It cannot possibly have been CGI or what-not.
