The mirror at the back is a normal mirror, then the regular glass panel on the front has a 1 way/privacy film on it which you can buy online (seen at 3:20). The mirrored side of the front glass panel faces into the infinity box. So from the inside, the mirrors look at each other, but I can see through one of the mirrors, creating the infinity illusion, but only once the lights inside are turned on. . If that makes sense? Both glass pannels are about 7mm thick. This can vary for you depending on what kind of project you are doing. If it's a table, maybe thicker and/or shatter-proof for safety reasons. But because this is just a display which isn't touched, thinner can be used.

Thank you! And yes...to be fair. In real life it probably wouldn't be much use haha. But I guess I wasn't too concerned about that when building it, as it's not actually mining anything and I wanted you to be able to see into the middle of the cart. Also makes it look old/rickety. After I finished this, I wrapped fist sized beach pebbles in foil and spray painted them gold and filled the cart with those. Due to the slats, you can see it's piled with sizable chunks of "gold". I've been meaning to upload a follow-up video of it with the gold in, but I don't think enough people would actually care to watch it and I'm about to move out of this house and leave the mine cart in place anyway (Buyers kid demanded it as part of the sale).

@@MrJoelDavies It looks fine the way it is, brother. I was just being a wise ass. I bet it looks even better with the "gold" in it. Really cool design.

@@jimmy2745 haha thank you :,) And yeh, the gold properly "sells it" now. Had to be careful in how I put it in there though, any obvious repetition of stone placement can ruin the effect.

thank you very much! Honestly, I don't see why not.. As long as you have enough light inside the "box" the illusion will work. It's all about selling the realism too, as long as you have the right repeating element, laid out in the right way, with enough light inside. It should work. I would LOVE to see one on the scale you're thinking of. You would be one of the first to create such a thing that I know of and it would certainly a RUclips opportunity... Good luck and keep me updated if you can.

@@MrJoelDavies I will definitely send you the finished product. May take me a minute, I think I will put Anthracite coal in the cart. Thanks again man

@@TheConner1612 Yep, take your time, plan it well and go for it! Good idea with the coal. I ended up wrapping rocks in foil, which I then sprayed with Gold paint. You don't see that in the video though, I was too impatient and couldn't wait to get the video out haha.

@@MrJoelDavies I was thinking that very thing with the gold rocks brother! I was also thinking of putting a see-through piece of fiberglass at the top of my box for it and buying this thing named "perfect storm 2.0", that way I could add a little lightning effect like the cart is just entering the mine and maybe a little smoke machine! Brother, if it's not too much, what are the dimensions of your opening and cart? If it's a pain to send me I understand

​@@TheConner1612 sorry, almost forgot to reply to this one, been busy getting ready to move house! The lighting is a really cool idea, would be really interesting to see if that idea would work as the main light source, could be too Dim, but well worth trying for sure. Even if it's backed up by some other (optional) lighting source maybe. Dimension wise, I've packed my project book with the original plans, but I can make a pretty good guess from memory. W-160CM H-60CM Depth- ~80cm Cart was about: 40x40cm and about 20cm deep (30cm High inc wheels etc)

Can you elaborate? Not sure what you mean exactly by “cured”

It is indeed! Love Muse. My favourite band and have been for most of my life.

Mounted on the wall in my workshop :D

Magic 🪄

thank you, you're very welcome :)

thank you so much 🥲

Thank you! I do often wonder what the next person who buys my house will think when they inherit it :D

@@MrJoelDavies good one 😅 Me to when i look at them i feel like i just wanna go deep into it s darkness to explore. If it was real i would certainly do

Thank you very much, glad you like it!

Thanks mate! And yeh there was certainly a “what the hell am I doing?” Moment after that first scorching session, before I decided to finish up outside for obvious safety reasons.. And sorry you didn’t like the audio, “music is subjective for everyone” and all that… This is an old tune I hadn’t heard in a while and sometimes when I hear a tune, I can see in my head how I could edit a video to it. And once that has happened, I’ll generally stick with that song. But believe me, I was sick of hearing it too after I finished editing haha

That’s a fantastic idea! But I do think it might alter the illusion due to how the concept works, the rear end of the train would also most likely repeat in an odd way down the tunnel. But I’m tempted to try that if I find some space to do it in

Thanks very much 🙏

You think so? I like the illusion of a train of carts heading into the abyss. The lights help create the entire effect which requires a lot of light, so could not be avoided. Which it why I went for the “ornate” lamp style. So they at least fit in. It’s why you will always see these infinite tunnels with repeating lights. Gotta have them u less you’re using LEDs maybe. Thanks for watching either way! I appreciate all feedback.

Thank you! Cool isn't it!

Thank you very much, very kind of you

@@MrJoelDavies respectfully welcome

Sorry - I mean links to the products that you used in the build. Thanks.

thank you very much :)

You're welcome! Glad you liked it and good luck with your project

@@MrJoelDavies Thanks a lot!

@@hashusx So. Did you build your own in the end?

Hi @@MrJoelDavies ! I couldn't find one side mirror. Hence, I've ordered mirror film from Amzn and stick it one side of a glass. Unfortunately, it didn't came out as beautiful as yours! 😅But, I'll find better materials and try again later on.

Dziękuję bardzo!

It does indeed! People still struggle to make sense of it when they see it in person

You're welcome and thank you for the kind comment

i know haha a few people have said that, I originally planned to wrap rocks in foil and spray them gold. But I was too impatient and wanted to get the video out so I skipped that bit during filming. But it is now filled with Gold rocks. I should probably do a follow-up video

Thank you! If i remember correctly, about 50cm deep

الرذاذ؟

thank you. a dimmer was a thought during the build, but the illusion needs a lot of light to be effective. So If they were dimmed down anymore it would start to kill the effect which is a shame, because it's bloody bright and power hungry haha
