  • He should not have lit both candles....he should have only relied on the reflected flame from the beginning....then it would not have changed so dramatically when the first flame was put out by the water....that candle in the water should have never been really lit...it would have looked more consistent after the water was poured in instead of getting so much dimmer.

    Still done well though.

  • @PinkCarnationProDux

    when water is poured in, it will put out the flame in the candle that's inside the beaker. however, the candle in the foreground remains lit, and because its partial reflection superimposes itself on the candle within the beaker, it appears as if that candle is still lit despite being underwater. because the candle within the beaker gets put out, the "flame" appears dimmer, and the flame's reflection in the beaker disappears.

  • @PinkCarnationProDux

    there is a piece of glass between the two books, in the background (behind the glass) they have a candle burning in a beaker. in the foreground, which is not visible unless the cameraman backs up, is another candle. you must position the candle so that when looking at the glass, its flame overlaps with the flame from the candle in the beaker.

  • This is so cool! I'm having trouble figuring out this effect, though. Can someone help me? I know about Pepper's Ghost, but when I try to do it myself...it doesn't turn out well. The light is too strong or something. Thanks!

  • I demonstrated this same thing with an Ikea vitrine glass door. I had two identical candles on the floor , only one was lit. Then I put my finger into the "flame" of candle 2, behind the glass :)

  • Chill God! I mean glass mirror same thing...

    ;]

  • It's done in front of glass, not a mirror.

  • It's done in front of a mirror you can tell from the sides especially at :18....But very good illusion!

  • omg! tha is wild!
