It would have been an even better effect if blood had squirted out of the rubber hand.
The guy probably would have screamed at the sight. ;)

First research on the "rubber hand illusion" was conducted at Princeton University and then the topic was studied in depth at the Swedish Karolinska Institutet. I have now idea why they give the credit to PHD students messing around in Freiburg.

The same effect has been used successfully with other bodyparts - even to induce sexual pleasure in people with fake genitalia:
