Excellent! That illusion works very well, and the modeling looks so realistic. It's not even apparent that the lamps flip 180 degrees each level.

[@federicohapablap3571]

I was thinking of using a glass with reflective film for the lower mirror too: the lack of light on the back of the glass, facing the bottom of the table, should make it behave like a first surface mirror. Do you think it could be an option?
Btw, yours is mesmerizingly fantastic.

[@The-Stuff-I-Do]

Not sure. it will probably work but the reflection might not be very bright. The good news is, if it doesn't work good enough, you can replace it later. So it's worth a try.

[@federicohapablap3571]

@@The-Stuff-I-Do Yes, I have that doubt too. If I decided to proceed with the creation of a DIY first surface mirror, my fear is that the reflective layer, now exposed to the atmosphere, would oxidize quickly. I read in your comments that you initially also thought about opting for this solution: did you have a workaround in mind to solve the oxidation problem? Can you suggest an idea to protect the reflective layer once exposed?

[@The-Stuff-I-Do]

@@federicohapablap3571 I don't have any ideas, a spray clear coat may distort the image. epoxy would work, but then you'd have the same gap as with glass. Let me know if you figure something out.

This one is really my taste 😉
I decide to build myself but noticed that all privacy film have silver side as sticky side so film have to be apply from the top of the table 🤔 to work correctly. I was hope film can be apply from inside so won’t get damaged when objects are put on table, could someone clarify this problem please
