theres a hole in the wall behind her?
No, there are two perpendicular mirrors under the table. The girl is inside the cavity behind the mirrors, and it seems like you can see under the table because the mirrors are reflecting the walls beside them.
In this case it is not mirrors. Where they would be is panels that are painted to match what would be the background. If it was mirrors, the checkers wouldn’t have the right perspective.
or she could be standing behing a table that was painted to look like a table and also has the backround on it making it look like she is nuting
its the mirrors
which is why the name was mentioned as smoke and mirrors.
It was a bit silly anyone can see that there is a hole in the back of the wall!!!!!!
Mirrors work wonders!
I saw this trick once in magician’s secrets revealed. It uses mirrors.
um this isnt a head on a plate. but half a body. get it right guys.
im so lame for sitting here and looking at these pictures. we have no lives people.
It is a box
these are meant to b scary!!! wat u playin at
OMG!!!! how in the world of magic did they do that???? that is some magic… i cant get over it!!!!!!!! i saw magic today!!!! that is sooo cool!. now THAT’S magic!!!!!!!!!!!
CHEY!! done that lots of time lo
accually you can see her lower bodies shadow…sorry to dissapoint….if you dont think thats her shadow then it could also be a painted box. if you look at the checkers on the left, above and below the black thing, you see that the lines dont match up. also, on the right you can see that there wouldn’t be enough space between those two black checkers to have a yellow checker. more likely its the second one :P
its called photoshop ppl
what Michael said
She is in a box the same pattern as the background.
anyone notice that the wll is 2 different colorz
i think faggot is right…but im just here cus my moms work dosent anything else…and…i wonder if thats the shadow of the girl..all i know is im clueless….=^.^=

=^.^=
AAAAArrrrrrggggggggggggg Shes a witch drown her and that !!!
everything is fake she is one of that dubble jointed people and there is a hole in the wall behind her…
Invisible cream!
Obviously Photo shoped
you can see the mirrors if u look closely. why is it called smokeand mirrors though
she’s in a box. it’s been painted cleverly
It’s quite obviously mirrors. When the mirrors are perpendicular to the walls behind them then they appear to be extensions of the walls. In which case you could go at almost any angle and still get the desired effect. it’s more likely the shadows are just from behind the camera or even maybe the cameraman themselves.
U PEOPLE ITS PHOTOH SHOP DEFINETLY
i dont know how u did it but im still yawning
Why don’t people just cut dead people’s heads off and put them on plates and tell everyone it’s an illusion?
I can vouch for this, I was in one of these once. There are two mirrors under the table and behind the camera are two walls you can’t see from here that look like the ones behind the table, the mirrors reflect them. The mirrors and the walls next to them make a box with a hole cut in the top you can stick your head through. Only difference is that the one I was in didn’t have fruit around the edges and the walls were red instead of yellow :c)
She is behind mirrors that are put to where they look like the checkered walls.
there are two mirrors that are placed to where it looks like the walls.
Hey. If it was mirrors the table wouldn’t have a leg, now would it?
It has to be a painted box.
oh…i g0t it…that wAs c0oL..nicE onE…
top half of pic is darker yellow than bottom
even check 4 ur self
Hey u lot the top half of da pic’s yellow checkers are darker than da bottom half!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you can see her body! it looks like a shadow underneath her.
look closly there are mirrors well placed
This type of illusion is olso at science museum at JUNAGADH>GUJARAT>INDIA.
Yes it is optical illusion created by two mirrors at 90* to both side from middle steel pipe.And opposite wall painted same desine so it reflect and…..it`s illusion!!!!
i’ve seen thing like this in singapore’s sciance city at the optical illusions part. If you’re an optical illusions lovers you should go there and the science museum in jakarta,Indonesia.
i also think that there are mirors
who da heck commented “íts called photoshop”. man its illusion which includes mirrors.they reflect da wallpaper beside them.. and the girl is standing inside the cavity made by mirrors…there is a proof too that this is done with mirrors look at the left mirror carefully ..u will see light reflecting on the mirror thats why its a bit light there …….
dude its so obvious
this is present in several regional science center branches in kolkata, delhi, mumbai , lucknow and bhopal. out of these only delhi and mumbai ones look real because in the others the mirror position are mismatches ! I could send you a photo of mine in the same setup !!
How is this scary??
I think that shes inside a box that is painted to resemble the back ground with a hole on the top to pot her head thru.
The table is from the Danish Eskperimentarium. She is sitting in a box and on the outside of the box there is two mirrors that shows the walls next to her
its not a hole in the back of the wall.. ive been sitting in one of those in Copenhagen.. Its IS two mirrors
And the leg is the corner of the two mirrors:D
