Except it is absolutely not just "practical cuts" (as opposed to what kind of cuts??) and "lining up the right movements", actually! It IS, like, CGI effects.

As an example, this behind-the-scenes video shows the work that went into the turning-into-a-pumpkin trick. Yes, he starts by filming himself jumping, and then films a pumpkin falling, and then matches the shots together...

And then edits elements of both videos together so that the pumpkin fades in over him and so that his limbs tuck into it as it falls, which would take someone at my skill level at least five hours, but I assume he's quite a lot faster. He also edits in the pumkins scattered around him in the video. They weren't in the videos he filmed. He did that on a computer.

Here's a more in-depth explanation of his editing process, by himself:
