Make An L.E.D Illusion Mirror! 

I want to surround my whole walls with this to make it look like some 4 dimension trippy shit.

4 Million views!.... Niceee

now all you have to do is hang it up on a wall where there is a secret passage behind it...

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!)

Here in my garage, just bought this new Lamborghini over here, fun to drive up in the Hollywood hills

New video - Make An L.E.D Illusion Mirror!

Now you can make 4 wall-sized ones and pretend you live in a discotheque

Not sure how I got here.. But if I ever need to make an illusion mirror, I know how now 😅

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".

This would make a sick coffee table.

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 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! )

That's really neat. Maybe you could use even brighter lights to increase the depth.

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

This is awesome! I honestly can't understand how this video has dislikes,This mirror is really cool.

This is THE coolest homemade decoration i have ever seen.

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 really appreciate how you take the time to explain step by step procedures.

This is a genius idea and has helped me with my Alice In Wonderland inspired art project. Thank you! :D

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

A portal to another dimension, right in your own room.

it's amazing.you did a great job bro

Seen this several times, Love it!!!

only if i wasn't lazy, this is really beautiful

Some people call these “light tunnels”

Man, I just love the depth it creates!

This build never get old!

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

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"

Thank You man. Made my Day. I´m looking for something Specail to my projects. I think, that is a good one.

Thanks for sharing this technique!!

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!

it took me like 5 minutes to realize you have an awesome voice😂

Love it!!!! Definitely want to try this one

Thank you Andy I have an LED illusion mirror and wondered how it worked! 😊

This, but as a desk top 👌🏻

Do you still have the original sculpture design? I want it :D

Awesome! Cant wait to build this! Might make it part of my room build! Thanks!

I'm doing this for my science project! Thanks for showing how you can do it!

It'd suck to trip and fall into the thing.

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????????

Very cool mirror 👍

Totally cool. Love it.

coffee table idea :-)

Nice.....i'm gonna make one.

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 !!!

Muito lindo! Parabéns

You sound like the guy off How it's made

What percentage of window tint is best to use?

Amazing. It is not difficult to make! Thanks for the tutorial!

You are the best. Clear instructions. Thanks

Can I just buy an infinity portal to a parallel universe online? This shit seems way over my skill level.

I actually fell through one those once. I ended up in the twilight zone...

I LOVE all your videos, keep it up man

Awesome piece of work dude! Have to do this for myself.

would it look like there was more depth between the lights if the class and mirror were spaced out more?

that's actually really cool. i'd hang that in my wall

this has heavy how it's made vibes and I can't imagine ANYTHING but that haha love it

Outstanding video! Gotta try it! Thanks!!

looks like you can go in it

What percentage of the Tint film did you use?

Man you are fenomenal! :D I'm so excited to do something like this.

That's awesome! Now I will have to give it a try

This on a coffee table. Shut up and take my money!!!

U can put a photograph of a deceased person between those LEDS.

That's awesome!! I think I'm going to build that!!!

Great job. Nice clean work

You'd be very good at practical affects in a movie

That was bloody brilliant. BTW, where did you get the led strip from?

looks amazing

Nice job!! Thanks for the idea.

WHAT KIND OF FILM IS IT?

"The mirruh"

Thank you so much, absolutely fantastic.

really cool project

Pathway to a parallel universe

Me: I need to sleep now! RU-vid: Why not learn how to make a LED illusion?

Ótima ideia, Parabéns...

Omg i need try this.!!!this is so cool!!!

What is reflective factor for window tint film u used here??? There is several diferent factors... From 50% to 100%...

Aren't those LEDs designed to be cut with scissors? Pretty sure you could have just snipped the excess off.

About time i start flying again! Sooo much fun!

Neat! Going to have to have a go at making one!

fucking awesome!!!

I'm building one of these to put my PC on it =D

It's beautiful !!

Wow, this is really cool!

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)... :''(

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!

Beautiful & good job 👍

Ah my friend now i know what i am gonna ask you in my next birthday for a gift,awesome work loved it keep em coming.

Awesome sir but difficult please easy to make a illusion mirror

Oh my god it a portal to another dimension

How can anyone dislike this awesome creation. .?

Excellent. I just seen one of these at Spencer's for the first time last weekend and I wondered how it was made. I got my answer today 4 days later.

That would look good in a Man Cave bar countertop.

All of this is a lie it really uses Tardis technology !

Amazing idea!

FINALLY I find a video where there is an explanation!! Thank you. I'd like to know wich depth have the glasses?
