Pepper's ghost
Pepper's ghost is an illusion trick with mirrors named after John Henry Pepper and developed in the 19th century. Using flat glass and special lighting in front of and behind the pane, the impression is created that partially transparent objects would appear and disappear. The trick is used especially in the theater and at scary attractions.
Known Uses
