Giant Mirror
This giant mirror was originally part of a flight simulator. Its size and near-perfect smoothness makes for astonishing optical (and acoustic) effects.
Hot Spot
This curved mirror focuses both light and heat.
Magic Wand
Wave the wand quickly and see an image appear.
Touch the Spring
Light from a real spring bounces off the mirror to form the image you see.
