That's really neat. Maybe you could use even brighter lights to increase the depth.
Thanks! A two way mirror instead of the tinted glass would really make it awesome. But have no idea where to get them from for cheap!
***** Maybe mirrored window tent.
Ask to 'borrow' a mirror then keep it forever
TheFishCostume I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if brighter LED's would have a deeper illusion effect, even with the tint film. Hmmm...
***** Glaziers, and builders merchants can suppliy, mirrored panes or mirrored film that go on buildings. not cheap but you can get also toughened ones that would allow you to make a bigger one (large enough to stand on especially with a chaser cct running bar formed LEDs joining mirror to semi silvered)
New video - Make An L.E.D Illusion Mirror!
how much would you sell such an item for?
i would buy something like that... yes... buy.. im to lazy to DO it.
Do you have a rough estimate on how much you spent total!? this looks like an awesome weekend project! I subscribed and liked the vid! =]
How much costed your multitool you used to remove the sculpture with? I got the exact same for 4 bucks
Actually it's bigger on the inside technology ;)
Thanks for the tutorial! You gave me the inspiration to make 2 of these ( One blue, One orange ) and complete my son's gaming room! ( He loves portal! )
Nominee for father of the year award right here. That's cool AF.
Now help him get a job.

That's awesome.

Interesting how this stuff is just catching on lately. Back in 1977 a buddy of mine wanted something interesting to light his tricked-out van with on the inside. I'd been playing with 2-way mirrors and suggested building a "time tunnel" mirror to mount on the wall. It was 18" high and 30" wide.
Regarding the lighting, this was before things like affordable sequencer lighting devices, so I created a small remote-sized control with 3 micro-switches, each one controlling every third light in the series going around the interior. So, by rocking his thumb across the 3 closely-spaced switches, he could do a "chase-lights" thing, or alternate the lights, or make them run in any order and timing he wanted. And because we left about 3½" or 4" between the back and front mirrors, the "repeat-distance" was extended, and the thing looked about 10 feet deep!
He had that thing for about 5 or 6 years. It was the highlight showpiece whenever he was showing off his van. Some people even went around the outside of the van thinking there was a "tunnel" extending out the outer side of the van wall it was hung on, and were amazed when there was no 10' tube actually sticking out.
(Some folks are SO easy to spoof!)
Amazing, are you for rent?
This is awesome!
I honestly can't understand how this video has dislikes,This mirror is really cool.

Thanks for this tutorial, so I all I need is LED lighting, check, mirror, films for car and spray and hammer check
I can’t believe it’s that simple and such great effect , I found this easy to understand
I love this vid. I`m working on a faux window for a boring , dark wall. The L.E.D lights will bring it to life. cheers mate!
sher taylor-lambert good luck on your project thing! And I hope your wall won't be bored when/if you finish it! Lol
lol cheers, nothing worse than a sulking alcove hahaha
Here in my garage, just bought this new Lamborghini over here, fun to drive up in the Hollywood hills
Hahaha
God I hate that ad so much
Me too
But guys remember this... The more you LEARN the more you EARN! It says it all in my book "63 steps to getting a garage with a Lamborghini and unnecessary bookshelf!" In stores today
My wife has all those books crammed into a tiny device...I think it's called a kindle,
This is a genius idea and has helped me with my Alice In Wonderland inspired art project. Thank you! :D
This would make a sick coffee table.
You can totally make this guys!
I'm a dude with 0 DIY experience, with no fancy tools and even I managed to reproduce a somewhat crude, but functional and moderately attractive version of this just by buying things and gluing them together.
This is fantastic. You can build a business making and selling items from the comfort of their own home...such an awesome idea.
Loved every second of it. Beautifully done. So inspiring. Thank you for sharing
I can hear the How it's made theme song in my head while watching this
Thanks asshole. Well played
Thanks! I remember looking at a mirror like this in a shop 10 years ago. Was a similar size with a 500e price tag!
I'm doing this for my science project! Thanks for showing how you can do it!
I built one of these when I went to an engineering camp at UA. The head of the optics department got us all the materials, and we used Arduinos to program the light strip colors and patterns. It make a great illusion, but it was a pain in the butt to solder!
Not sure how I got here.. But if I ever need to make an illusion mirror, I know how now 😅

It's a more useful skill than you think. Looks great on your CV as well.
If you are American, CV = resume

Jumped down the same rabbit hole! 🐇
i would use something like this on the floor of an elevator, would look and feel like your going down into the abyss...:D the materials need to change a bit , like a super resistant plexiglass instead of normal glass or something, looks amazing !!! :D
Mgm national harbor in DC has floors made like this. Its damn pretty
use glass its strong enough
That'd be so cool
it took me like 5 minutes to realize you have an awesome voice😂
I really appreciate how you take the time to explain step by step procedures.
How can anyone dislike this awesome creation. .?
Now you can make 4 wall-sized ones and pretend you live in a discotheque
You've just given me a brilliant idea for my basement!

only if i wasn't lazy,
this is really beautiful
now you need another with the leds in orange, so this way you can place one near your bed and the other in the fridge and you created the portal
Very cool! Looks like some magic portal from a film
This build never get old!
Some people call these “light tunnels”
Who ARE these people?!
Nunnuv Yorbizniz me
A portal to another dimension, right in your own room.
the struggle on smartphone is real lol
I'd like to hang a row of these on the wall and have one that's an actual hole designed to look like an infinity mirror so I could jump out of it and grab people and try to drag them into the "portal".
+Gewgulkan Suhckitt wat?
+Gewgulkan Suhckitt OMG. That would be AWESOME!!! To bad i don't have anything to make the mirror OR have to ability to put a giant human sized hole in the wall....
+Gewgulkan Suhckitt Now that is funny. Maybe in a haunted house?
+Gewgulkan Suhckitt just put four in a row, and your arm reaches out and grabs someone from one of them..that way no need for a human sized hole :) but scares the crap out of em
1. How would they get out?
2. how would they fit?
hey Mist8k thanks for this info and showing us how to make it i got an A last year for my science project!!!
i had a question about which way to face the tinted side of the glass either towards to mirror or not and you answered that in the video. thank you!
would it look like there was more depth between the lights if the class and mirror were spaced out more?
+David Secrest - class?
Glass my apologies
+David Secrest It will look with more depth if instead of dark window tint you use mirror-like (some call it silver) film. Since the film acts as a mirror the more reflective it is the more light bounces back and forth inside, so more "depth" illusion is attained. The best setup will be to actually use a one-way mirror as the front glass (the mirror part facing the inside of the box), with two mirrors facing each other the illusion will have more depth. Problem is those mirrors are expensive.
Ah
+Jelly G. I think you wanted to put " two way mirror " ?.
Imagine having one of these in your home and one of your friends comes over to hang out and there like" why is there a portal to tron in your house"
It'd suck to trip and fall into the thing.
+David So I suppose you look on your mirror then where as the rest of us look IN the mirror!
And fall out of the world/to the other side of the world:burn in the core in the infinitely deep hole of the mirror.

cool video man - just a tip for next time, if you wet up a window or similar surface and put the film on face first, when you peel the backing off the water will create a vacuum-like effect that will stick it to the window as you peel the backing off - makes that part of the job way less tricky, handy tip learned from doing miles and miles of window frosting
cheers for sharing!
I LOVE all your videos, keep it up man
What percentage of window tint is best to use?
40
You sound like the guy off How it's made
Really? They chose THAT accent? Might as well use Craig Charles...
This, but as a desk top 👌🏻
it's amazing.you did a great job bro
Thank you. This was extremely helpful. I have a nice infinity mirror that tell off the wall and the front glass broke. Now I know how to fix it. I might even replace the existing "Christmas tree" lights with LEDs for more control over the color and effect . Great job !!!
What is reflective factor for window tint film u used here??? There is several diferent factors... From 50% to 100%...
I have the Same question, does anyone know?
Gamer i get some answers. Most people use 90% reflecive...
^-- This.
Higher % means better (deeper) "infinity" effect.
Also, a silver film is obviously better than a dark one.
why on earth would someone create or invent a mirror with a sculputre thing in the middle???? How are you suppose to see your face on the mirror????????
Decorative mirror. Bruh.
Perhaps it was made on the moon
Needs more question marks.
U can still see urself... I made ut and it works good.. Its realy nice
***** yep. thanks.
Nice.....i'm gonna make one.
Excellent video tutorials. Nice LED illusions. Great job 👏. Thanks for sharing your video. Watching with full support from a new friend from Canada 🇨🇦.
Man you are fenomenal! :D I'm so excited to do something like this.
Great Video...I have watched this one about 10x... Finally realized I need to ask what percentage was the tint film? Do you remember? 5%, 15%, 20%, 35%, 0r 50%? By the way that mirror Looks Great!!! 9,112,340views, WOW!
5% you want it as dark as possible

Do you still have the original sculpture design? I want it :D
I actually fell through one those once. I ended up in the twilight zone...

***** cool story kiddo.
I dont know if that is meant to be nazi sign or the oriental sign
craftedmine dude one is the sciatica everybody calls nazi and the other is a sign of peace
I know I was saying which one was
in 2049, we use a concept similar to this to time travel. that's why I am here. I am from 2056. If anyone wants to visit the future let me know.

in the 70's these were in a lot of the discos and were called infinity mirrors. they were made with one-way mirror on the front, and regular mirror on the back
NICE & EASY TO PREPARE FOR DECORATION
Can I just buy an infinity portal to a parallel universe online? This shit seems way over my skill level.

How do you think Nostradamus on to the Future? He coded the inside of his scrying cup with a high dielectric paint. so much technology is coming out in the world that we haven't had for thousands of years we thought this information was lost forever but it seems to be coming out of nowhere by 2020 we're going to be jumping in and out of dimensions. You want to learn the secret about the magic of the Egyptians. The answer is longitudinal interferometry. That's heat containment at a distance. Einstein called it action. You need to learn the wave mechanics of light sound matter and SpaceTime.
looks like you can go in it
Aren't those LEDs designed to be cut with scissors? Pretty sure you could have just snipped the excess off.
Yea, but why bother? It adds the illusion of some back-lighting.
Your DIY video was actually really good.
Great job. Nice clean work
that's actually really cool. i'd hang that in my wall
@Jonathon Toney Is "on", looks "in".
That was bloody brilliant. BTW, where did you get the led strip from?
Just in case he doesn't get back to you, I think they're sold at some craft / DIY stores. And, if you have the means, they're only like 7 bucks a roll on Amazon (US). And like 8-13 pounds on the UK site (if that's even where you're from, idk).
Yeah, I'm a brit,. Do you have any clue why it's more expensive ?
Shiv Tek The same vendors just aren't available in most cases, because they're in different countries. The one that I saw for 7 bucks was listed for 21, so it's a steal. If you're patient and keep shopping around, you might be able to find a deal like that on your side of the planet too. :D
ElitistSponge yeah, thanks!
Yes I'd like ta know where he got the LED strip from as well, good question
H E L P!!!
I jumped into the mirror thing; I've been falling at 1000 km's per hour for *2 MONTHS NOW* .
I recently landed on an empty random mini-platform attached to the wall. Should I jump down from this platform? If I do, I don't know if there'll be another platform on the way down ever again... I mean, technically I have no choice, I cannot climb up as there are no climbing steps anywhere on these walls, plus since I travelled so far down, there is no way I am able to climb up again. So should I wait or fall even further? And also, I don't know what will happen if I'll continue falling... H E L P!!! I also have no equipment with me or anything (apart from my phone from which I am sending you the text)... :''(
Also don't ask how I survived the high-speed land on the platform... the physics don't work the same way in this place as they do in our reality... I am stuck deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep in the tunnel void... I don't know what will happen if I jump down from the platform...
Jinig just build lol
Very cool!! We in Canada salute you!!!
I love to make a color changing led illusion mirror and lights, they are fun to make, they are so cool to look at when it's done

It's a virus link. It imitates google but it's a virus, trust me kid. I've been identifying viruses for 7 years.

I guess you didn't read my comment. Tisk tisk.
CobaltWarriors lmgtfy is not a 'virus link', whatever that is. I suggest that the 7 years you spent 'identifying viruses' was 7 years wasted, if that's what you got from that website. It's a widely used and legitimate website. My 45+ years of computers and comms tells me so.
What percentage of the Tint film did you use?
Hi
Probably 80%
Most of these infinity mirrors use one-way mirror window tint. Amazon has it.
@@silverthunderbird Did you read the question?
@@NIRO1885 Evidently, not clearly enough. :-/
You can cut these strips in groups of three; so those last three could be cut off as well, leaving just one outside the frame. At 4:55 you can clearly see the cut zone between the first and second LEDs from the frame edge. If you wanted to get rid of that one as well, it could be unsoldered and replaced with a resistor; an off the top of my head calculation would make it about 200 ohms (4v/20ma), but the LEDs don't run at exactly 4v. There is a voltage dropping resistor for every three LEDs, to bring their voltage down to around 3.4-3.6v each; so 180 ohm would probably be better and may be easier to find.
You are the best. Clear instructions. Thanks

Outstanding video! Gotta try it! Thanks!!
EXCELLENT! The 1st time I ever saw one of these is on "Star Trek; The Motion Picture" (1979) - in Spock's quarters. Thats when malls and other stores started selling them like hotcakes! Only back then - I cant swear to it - but I dont think it was LEDs but small bulbs perhaps? At any rate - those new fangled LED strips are a godsend! Thanks for making this DIY video, mate! I never owned one before - looks like I may just make myself one

Dear santa....
Totally cool. Love it.
when you use an LED strip you can trim off any excess LED's at the junction point from one LED to the next. It will look like 2 parallel lines going from one to the next. Just cut between them and you will have the perfect length you need. if you don't want to have a cord hanging off of the mirror you can also use rechargeable batteries in a caddy mounted to the back of the mirror. Just match up the required voltage of the led strip to the voltage produced by the batteries used and bypass the inverter with a direct dc connection and you're done. If you are unsure of how many batteries to use or what size just remember Ohm's law for voltage where voltage in a DC series circuit is additive and current is constant.
So great .....I nail it into my wall...now I am homeless ...my ship goes down...😒
So great humor! Or, is it?
