Hello! I’ve been getting a lot of questions about how my “Pepper’s Ghost” reflection-illusion projects are put together. Below are some links to videos that I’ve made over the years and some links to other online demos that might help.
From Wikipedia:
“Pepper's ghost is an illusion technique used in the theatre, cinema, amusement parks, museums, television, and concerts. The illusion is performed by reflecting an image of an object off-stage so that it appears to be in front of the audience.[1]
It is named after the English scientist John Henry Pepper (1821–1900) who began popularising the effect with a theatre demonstration in 1862.[2] This launched an international vogue for ghost-themed plays which used this novel stage effect during the 1860s and subsequent decades.”
