Tell us how you've used science to solve a problem!

This proves that magicians are really just brilliant scientists and engineers. Well done! When the dog jumped out at 5:30, I was shocked! I wish you’d have shown the actual mirror installation though, so we could see exactly where and how the mirror was installed to create that perfect reflection.

This is a great product (I've seen the smaller clip online about the product, but I had to search up and see exactly how it all came together to fully understand it). No idea if this would be of interest to you, but if you made this an actual product to sell, I'd expect that you'd have a lot of orders for these!

How about a device that traps their arm until u decide to free them?😂

[KillinTimeSince]

This really needs to go into production! Million dollar idea that will save people a ton of money, headaches and heartache!

[DeathxStrike]

Only flaw is you can see the mirrors edge on the ground and could be fixed with a black carpet under

Simply brilliant!
Although I prefer a mercury switch incendiary device that detonates the moment one of these thieving scumbags steals the package!

[OCWatchCatMEOW]

The only feature I would add is to add a couple of plants at the base so that you cannot see where the mirror meets the pavement. Absolutely incredible!

[jigilous]

As a porch pirate, thank you for teaching me how you plan on tricking me. /s

Great ! For improvement you should put a net at the bottom of the box for fragile packages

[dugparker]

Hi Jason! I might suggest moving the table forward (about 3-5" or so...) until the front right table leg and that closest stone corner touch. That aligns everything so that as you walk past the house on the sidewalk, _the _*_reflection_*_ appearing to come from the back left table leg, _ and the edge from the previously ignored, *other* stone corner (the one you're standing next to) align.

Now *that's* true magic!

This definitely won't work in Chicago. Someone will try to steal the table or even that plant, then they'll realize there are package inside and realize they hit the jackpot

If you made this to sell I would buy it as soon as it was available! This is awesome! I am truly truly amazed and am grateful of the new knowledge you’ve given me.

[MrSanitor]

So idk if you have ever seen the episode on shark tank that's supposed to be the fix for porch pirates but I always thought that was the dumbest thing I ever saw... but this... this is genius haha it looks awesome and the illusion is amazing. I'm honestly shocked this doesnt exsist as a product yet.

[Robyrob]

We live in the country and have our packages delivered to the back door. This is a great idea!

[greenkitty]

What a smart cat idea!!! With more and more online purchases, this kind of protection becomes more necessary. Thanks for sharing 😃

[Sliver]

Why not take a picture of the brick. Blow it up to fit the front side of the box. Remove the support in the middle but could have the picture include it. Then you could have the entire box open and don't have to worry about mirrors and angles.

[anaventura]

where did you find that table i wont to do this

[fredoswego]

Nice idea, but the hardest part would be getting the delivery service to place the items in your magic box vs just tossing them on your porch.

[LiveStockman]

Oh, we have a slot in our deck same thing as you and also one in between our door for the smaller packages but big ones go under our deck. Its hard to find In winter so we got a smartlock that the ups guy shows an I'd and it unlocks it so I'm good
