Intro: Magic Mirror - Quick and Dirty

Instructable by LK
A magic mirror is always a nice Halloween decoration. I will show you how to make a quick-and-dirty magic mirror within 10-20 minutes

STEP 1: What You Need

You need:
- a Picture Frame
- black cardboard
- a mobile phone

STEP 2: Preparing the Cardboard

Take your cardboard, make it fit the picture frame and cut a hole for your mobile's screen.

STEP 3: Putting Everything Together

Put the cardboard on the glass of the picture frame, put your mobile on the cardboard and close the case of the picture frame.

STEP 4: Make It Scary

Open the case and download a scary image. Display it and close the case again. You might recognize the visible difference between the cardboard and the screen. This is the reason why our magic mirror is a quick-and-dirty mirror and just works in dark rooms.

STEP 5: Setting Everything in Scene

Place the mirror in a dark room and ensure that no light source is directly shining at it.
