It's the bottom left one that becomes the extra one when it changes. Watch the top of his head.

Sorry, but that is incorrect. Count them in diagonal rows(starting with the bottom left and running diagonally up and right). Picture # 1 would be 3-2-2-3-2 = 12;
picture #2 becomes 3-3-2-3-2 = 13.
The extra person is the top figure in row #2 (#
6) of picture #2.

i knew the extra person was in the second row the first couple times, the first thing i did was count the rows as you did but it still does not explain where he comes from unless i have missed that part. He slid over but how does it add someone?

This may explain it.
"you have 12 men in the first picture. You split them into 24 halves and recombine 22 of those halves into 11 people. Then -- and this is the entire trick -- you point to the remaining two halves and claim they are full people. 11 + 2 = 13 men. In the final configuration, the two 'half men' are #1 and #13, each of which gives up a half and doesn't get one back."
This picture is a good illustration of it.
