Can Photoshop Do This?

[RoboKode]

Basically what my idea is, is to take a picture of myself grabbing air. I want to take a picture of my friend, and turn him in to a "virtual" cardboard cut out, and then be able to make it look like I'm holding the "cutout".

Can anyone kick me in the right direction?

Usually when adding a person to a picture you want it to blend in and make the lighting the same. In this case do the opposite. Make it not blend in, use very hard edges not soft , to make it stands out somewhat. Second, make the lighting different on the "cutout", that would be another indication that it's not a real person. Third, add a reflection as you would see on a flat surfaced glossy photograph.
