Uses mirrored surfaces to create a 3-dimensional real image. Simply place any small object in the Mirage®. Instantly, incredibly, it appears ABOVE it, in full 3-dimensions. Study this image from all sides. You can even see its reflections! You can shine light on it! But reach to touch it . . . your fingers go right through. Contradicting a life-time of experiences, Mirage® literally punches holes through everything you've come to expect from reality and sensory perception. It is crafted and tested to exacting tolerances. Near perfect color duplication is achieved with optical surfaces just 5/1,000,000ths of an inch thick. 9" diameter.
