That's a lot of guts!
Super cool Fred.
So, where do the guy's feet go (ie: is he behind the entire box, laying across it...)?

 

[Calloween]

Yes mr.chicken he is laying down with his feet behind
the box.

I am standing on a milk crate, behind two mirrors at 45° from each side wall.

 

[Calloween]

Never seen anyone do it that way before.

I'd love to see the back of this. What is the purpose of the mirrors? Looks totally amazing. Great job.

 

[icemanfred]

The mirrors are reflecting the side walls, giving the illusion that there is a back wall.
There isn't. Thats where my body is.

Mr. Chicken:
actually I was thinking of re-making the guts. I got a little caried away. I would preffer less guts, more narrow.

 

[JustWhisper]

Now I am really intrigued. I love things that use mirrors, it's so magical. I would love to see a diagram of how it is set up. The more I look at it, the more perplexed I become.

 

[icemanfred]

I'll try to take a quick 360° video of it tommorrow.
I think that will clear things up.

 

[icemanfred]

Okay,
here is the video. not 360° but now you can see the back and how the illusion works.

I guess my next project is going to be cleaning up the garage.
Funny, it didnt seem that messy when I was down there?!

Tanks for the vid that really clears all of it up.

 

[Terra]

That is so cool!!!!

 

[Mr_Chicken]

Wow! The effect was so convincing in the first vid, I didn't think you were using ye olde mirror trick at all!

 

[JustWhisper]

Even as you were showing it, it was so hard to see the mirrors. You did a really great job of incorporating the mirrors so seamlessly. Now I understand how it works, and I am totally impressed....again. Thanks for the video. Hope it wasn't any trouble.

Thanks for all the comments.
I cant say enough about propboy.
He posted his last year, and inspired me to make one.
I asked him so many questions. He was always very helpful.
