The first method is a classic called the Peppers Ghost which you will recognize in use at Disneyland's Haunted Mansion.
The second illusion is the Haunted Frame which is portable and can be hung on a wall or left on your desk!
Materials For Peppers Ghost:
1) A video device like a tablet, phone, monitor, or television
2) A pane of glass
Materials For Haunted Frame: (Skip to 4:00)
1) A video device like a tablet, phone, monitor, or television
2) A frame with a pane of glass. Preferably a shadow box
3) One Way Privacy Film /Tint
4) Baby Shampoo, Spray Bottle, Squeegee, Razorblade and Tape.
The video loop is from atmosfearfx but you can also search YouTube for ‘Halloween ghost loop’
Any questions? Leave a comment below it will help everyone!
In a later tutorial I will go over a full build with a Raspberry pi. I will be making it with a sensor so it will only trigger when someone walks near.

On a side note, the picture frame but with personal images on a loop and you could recreate a Harry Potter moving painting for a Potter themed party.

Wow - video delivers exactly what the title says, clearly, concisely and without a bunch of time filling fluff. You don't see that very often on YouTube these days. Thanks!!

One thing you need to do before applying the window tinting is, clean both sides of the glass. You don’t want a blurry or dirty mirror. And, thank you for sharing this.

Minor point: that angle isn't 90 degrees. 90 degrees is the angle between a horizontal and vertical line. The angle you were describing looks more like 45 degrees.

Great. Very inspiring and I love the addition of a prop. I think that’s what’s missing from my box of ghosts illusion.

I like your idea for the haunted mirror. One thing you should try, is create a fake tombstone that produces ghostly apparitions in the yard. it's a different take on the Pepper's ghost effect. Add and apply white vellum poster board to the back of a tombstone. Take a projector and project an image onto the white vellum paper that's on the back of the tombstone. Get a piece of Plexiglas and aim it toward the image that's on the back of the tombstone. The image that's transferred from the projector to the tombstone is now reflected back onto the Plexiglas. What I did was, I bought a big piece of Plexiglas and put it in between two bushes. during the night time, you cant see the edges of the Plexiglas, so you don't know it's there. Kids would freak out because all of a sudden, the would see a ghost appear and didn't know how it was done. Now you know. It's a new spin on the Pepper's ghost effect.
