No matter how many times people have explained peppers ghost, I've never been able to understand. You explained so simply using the windows and it actually makes sense now, so thanks lol.

Supplier: How many mirrors do you want

Disney: *yes*

My favorite trick is how they make my bank account balance disappear, oh wait...

Had to replay that Albert Einstein illusion 50 times it’s so trippy...

Also, I saw the Indiana Jones Boulder illusion myself on the night before my 20th birthday! The lights turned on and for 30 minutes we were sitting in a stopped Jeep with a boulder spinning in place towards us.
I was lucky to see it with my own eyes.

The illusion that the $20 large coke was worth it

I like the stretching room in the Haunted Mansion and how well it hides the fact it's an elevator.

The Pirates mirror half skeleton, half human had me SHOOK. In the video you can see the mirror more but in person, SWEAR I rode it three times and tried to figure it out haha.

It's not an illusion per se, but the way they manage to create a three-dimensional star field in Space Mountain just by simply using disco balls to project lights onto the support structures of the ride has always fascinated me. The movement of said stars creates that iconic feeling of going faster than you really are. Very simple yet very effective and clever

I used to work Winnie the Pooh in Disney World. The bear figure that floats is actually behind the two way mirror. I believe you said it was reflected on a second mirror at 45 degrees which is untrue.
The scene where he’s sitting and falling asleep is reflected but the floating bear is in a black room behind the mirror itself. The light turns on as the figure rotates upwards.

Peppers Ghost effect is the best! I used it in a mall haunted house in 1988 and fooled a lot of people!

[alorachan]

The Indiana Jones boulder illusion was easily the most impressive. I've been on that ride so many times and had NO idea until watching videos online showing it. It has always felt like I was moving backwards.

Huge fan of Pepper's Ghost because of its history with magicians. Love learning how illusions are done <3

#5- the “waltzing ghosts “- the female ghosts had ( maybe still do) beautiful hand made jewelry- my good friend Kathy Escott made all the original jewelry back in the day 😘

Always been a fan of the peppers ghost effect in Phantom Manor / Haunted Mansion, the ballroom is one of my favourite scenes in the attraction overall.

There is also a cool effect in Shanghai Disneyland's version of POTC where a skeleton turns into Jack and it has a giant glass panel to project the skeleton onto the Jack Sparrow animatronic, very cool!

Disney puts so much effort into their effects, i love the parks.

Offhand Disney talked about the hollow face illusion, very cool

[LocalTreeFort]

I would honestly love a part 2 of this video, illusions are some of my favorite parts of Disney Magic <3

Sundays are always my favorite because of new TPM videos! Another good one.

[dlrp-fans]

this is great explanation of how it works, I knew some of them and learned new ones

[emiLOVE]

My favorite illusion has always been the ghosts dancing in the ballroom at WDW, I’m so glad I understand how it works now! My mom and I have actually had discussions about how it works so now I can tell her 😊

[Panzerspatzi]

My fav illusion is the butterfly in Journey into Imagination - because to me it was always so obvious because I could see the line of where the mirror is attached at the top. I like the illusion so much exactly because I was able to figure out how it works, so simple and yet so effective.
