OUR CHALLENGE: GUESS HOW WE DID THIS. This clip was shot on an I8910 HD phone, a new camera phone just released by Samsung with an 8 megapixel camera that can actually record and output video in HD format. It was shot in one take, with no post production or special effects of any kind. Everything you see here was done "in-camera". Our challenge to you is to figure out how we did it. Hint: it's worth watching in HD...

I'm guessing the phone has two cameras, one on each side, and can do a live overlay of both cameras simultaneously?

It's either a video of a video, or it's not a mirror, it's another room set up as a mirror.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a live overlay but this works too.

when he was turning while it was "invisible" it looked like the video didn't turn exactly the way his hands did

Magic for one thousand, Alex.

You're right it's not a mirror. Notice the thumbs when he touches hands with the mirror. They don't touch. They touched all four fingers, but the thumbs seem to miss.

mirror frame + hole in wall. You can see him step in at both transitions for the hand off, & his motions in "invisible mode" don't match the camera motions.

OK, chit chat is kinda boring right now

FYI, there's an AWESOME thread in the soap box right now called "fun game"

yeah the video and his movements were not in sync exactly, the cameraman had a bit slower response and you can teh pixels....i mean you can tell by his hands after it 'disappears' that they aren't in the exact same position for holding the phone

I'm gonna go with the 'not a mirror' argument

and

That is still true, it's just not 'in' the camera the guy is holding

maybe my brain just isn't working right because the "no mirror" makes it work, but then why backwards letters ?? i feel like i'm going to get hit with stupid.

^there's also no reason it had to be done at a single time. Hitting the pause button probably qualifies as still a 'single take.'

Definitely not the same room. The biggest clue for me are the letters on the wall aren't reversed in the other room. Check out the B @ 22 seconds and then look for it behind his head when he puts the phone down(around 1:27). The B is on the other side of the A, but it's not a mirror image like it should be.

i'm on board with the fake room thing too.

at the end when he pans the mirror down look at the orientation of "his" feet in the mirror and then on the ground.

If the phone was neon green, this would be easy.

Sharp eye...they almost had me fooled. The placement of objects (the wrapping paper and the small picture) at the bottom of the photo frame is a clever touch...

After watching the debunking video, I picked up on another difference he didn't notice (or chose not to mention). When we first see the girl, she is wearing blue socks and no shoes. When she walks out of the kitchen in the "reflection" she has on either shoes or very dark socks, not bright blue ones. Then when we see her again at the table at the end of the video, the blue socks are back. Yes, it's *possible* that she could have gone into the kitchen, put on shoes, and then taken them off as soon as the got back to the table, but not damn likely. Instead I'm pretty sure they matched the outfit but not the footwear.

dude that was the easiest shit ever. didnt even need the debunk video.


Not a real mirror, cut-out in the wall, fingers don't match, hair of the guy doesn't match from the big silver reflection on the vase or whatever it is to the guy in the "mirror"
