@@MrJoelDavies Unreal job 💯 inspired me to do infinity mirror some affect, 12 volt Led lights & if it comes out hlf as good as yours I would be stoked. Need to get of the UA-cam addiction😂 Ideas unreal Thanks
Thank you all for 100k views and counting! Please do check out my library of similar DIY videos. :) Also: a lot of comments how I did it. At 3:20, that is a transparent mirror or "privacy film" bought on amazon. It created the illuision by enabling both mirrors to look at each, while allowing you to see right through on of the mirrors. If that makes sense...it then creates the infinity.... Please let me know if I can elaborate further. Again. thank you all, glad you liked it, I try to respond to all comments but it's getting hard to keep up!
Awesomeness! Great job. I'm in the mountains of WV and may fill mine up with coal. I have to cover a window opening and the hole is 6'x4'6"...will that work? Or too big?
thank you very much! Honestly, I don't see why not.. As long as you have enough light inside the "box" the illusion will work. It's all about selling the realism too, as long as you have the right repeating element, laid out in the right way, with enough light inside. It should work. I would LOVE to see one on the scale you're thinking of. You would be one of the first to create such a thing that I know of and it would certainly a UA-cam opportunity... Good luck and keep me updated if you can.
@@TheConner1612 Yep, take your time, plan it well and go for it! Good idea with the coal. I ended up wrapping rocks in foil, which I then sprayed with Gold paint. You don't see that in the video though, I was too impatient and couldn't wait to get the video out haha.
@@MrJoelDavies I was thinking that very thing with the gold rocks brother! I was also thinking of putting a see-through piece of fiberglass at the top of my box for it and buying this thing named "perfect storm 2.0", that way I could add a little lightning effect like the cart is just entering the mine and maybe a little smoke machine! Brother, if it's not too much, what are the dimensions of your opening and cart? If it's a pain to send me I understand
@@TheConner1612 sorry, almost forgot to reply to this one, been busy getting ready to move house! The lighting is a really cool idea, would be really interesting to see if that idea would work as the main light source, could be too Dim, but well worth trying for sure. Even if it's backed up by some other (optional) lighting source maybe. Dimension wise, I've packed my project book with the original plans, but I can make a pretty good guess from memory. W-160CM H-60CM Depth- ~80cm Cart was about: 40x40cm and about 20cm deep (30cm High inc wheels etc)
Do you mind sharing what acrylic you bought. I bought one and it doesn’t seem to reflect as well as I would like. Seems to be the same amount of reflection and transparency both ways
@@kevendt72 sorry for the late reply, and yes a few people have asked about what I used so I’ve posted the links to some other replies as you have seen. Thanks for watching! And indeed Muse are the best :D My favourite band.
Amazing work! You said that you've posted links in one of your replies, but I can't find them. Can you please re-post?. Also, I'd love to see a video - even a photo - of the "updated" project including the fool's gold.
The mirror at the back is a normal mirror, then the regular glass panel on the front has a 1 way/privacy film on it which you can buy online (seen at 3:20). The mirrored side of the front glass panel faces into the infinity box. So from the inside, the mirrors look at each other, but I can see through one of the mirrors, creating the infinity illusion, but only once the lights inside are turned on. . If that makes sense? Both glass pannels are about 7mm thick. This can vary for you depending on what kind of project you are doing. If it's a table, maybe thicker and/or shatter-proof for safety reasons. But because this is just a display which isn't touched, thinner can be used.
thank you. a dimmer was a thought during the build, but the illusion needs a lot of light to be effective. So If they were dimmed down anymore it would start to kill the effect which is a shame, because it's bloody bright and power hungry haha
So is there a one-way mirror film on the backside of the front glass panel? In other words, what did you do to the front glass panel to make it insanity?
That’s correct yes, the mirror at the back of the hole sees another mirror. And when the light inside is turned on, we can see through that mirror, but the internal mirror at the back cannot. This creates the illusion :). When the lights inside are not on, we also just see a mirror from the outside reflecting back at us. Thus, insanity ensues.
Hi @@MrJoelDavies ! I couldn't find one side mirror. Hence, I've ordered mirror film from Amzn and stick it one side of a glass. Unfortunately, it didn't came out as beautiful as yours! 😅But, I'll find better materials and try again later on.
Thank you! And yes...to be fair. In real life it probably wouldn't be much use haha. But I guess I wasn't too concerned about that when building it, as it's not actually mining anything and I wanted you to be able to see into the middle of the cart. Also makes it look old/rickety. After I finished this, I wrapped fist sized beach pebbles in foil and spray painted them gold and filled the cart with those. Due to the slats, you can see it's piled with sizable chunks of "gold". I've been meaning to upload a follow-up video of it with the gold in, but I don't think enough people would actually care to watch it and I'm about to move out of this house and leave the mine cart in place anyway (Buyers kid demanded it as part of the sale).
@@MrJoelDavies It looks fine the way it is, brother. I was just being a wise ass. I bet it looks even better with the "gold" in it. Really cool design.
@@jimmy2745 haha thank you :,) And yeh, the gold properly "sells it" now. Had to be careful in how I put it in there though, any obvious repetition of stone placement can ruin the effect.
Thanks ! So do I :D. The tint isn't actually a tint. Just a one way "Privacy" mirror film on a sheet of normal glass. The fact you can see through from the other side is because of the light inside the box. So it's a normal mirror, with a fake mirror looking at the normal mirror, which we can see through. I tried to pull up the Amazon link but the link is not working for some reason.

@@MrJoelDavies the distance between the two mirrors is off. Slightly closer on the bottom. Like a 1/16" I would guess. But it really looks great in this case.
@@OscarSommerbo ah that makes sense! The back wall of the box it is built in to probably wasn't ever that level and when I put the mirror in, i set it flush against that back panel. Leading to a very happy accident. Cheers for clearing that mystery up :D

That’s a fantastic idea! But I do think it might alter the illusion due to how the concept works, the rear end of the train would also most likely repeat in an odd way down the tunnel. But I’m tempted to try that if I find some space to do it in
haha cheers, I know. I originally intended to fill the cart with "Fools Gold"/Rocks wrapped in foil and sprayed gold. But as I was finishing the video, my impatience got the better of me and I just went ahead and released it before I remembered to fill them with the gold... To the people who see it in person these days, they now see the gold. And it does look good with the light reflecting off the foil.
You think so? I like the illusion of a train of carts heading into the abyss. The lights help create the entire effect which requires a lot of light, so could not be avoided. Which it why I went for the “ornate” lamp style. So they at least fit in. It’s why you will always see these infinite tunnels with repeating lights. Gotta have them u less you’re using LEDs maybe. Thanks for watching either way! I appreciate all feedback.
i know haha a few people have said that, I originally planned to wrap rocks in foil and spray them gold. But I was too impatient and wanted to get the video out so I skipped that bit during filming. But it is now filled with Gold rocks. I should probably do a follow-up video

So ingenious and mesmerising to watch when complete at the end.
