IrishWhiskey     Pretty good trick, but the woman's barely moving shuffling and movements out of sync should have tipped those people off.

Xiphias it's actually a brilliant illustration of how people interpret what they see and ignore what doesn't make sense.
|
Xiphias      delightful
|
futurebot      This is one of the most disturbing pranks I've seen in a while. Imagine how you'd respond if this happened to you. It would BREAK YOUR MIND.
|
Smellvin     This also would double as a vampire detector. If they don't act like anything's out of the ordinary, then stake 'em!
|
simon666    -1 because i'd like to think i would get the trickery if it was me, and -1 for this being on break dot com first :( that site sucks

Caminante Nocturno      I'm sorry, this mirror only reflects attractive people.
|
Midnight Man      Wouldn't it be terrible if a schizophrenic in remission came in and had a breakdown because he was just starting to get his life back on track and now it was all happening again?

|
athodyd      Oh man, the faucet in the other room turns on when yours turns on. That is the fucking icing right there.
This also makes favorites because the cop or the lesbian bicycle courier or whoever that is at 3:00 is completely fucking terrified.

Gwago      The glasses bit was awesome. Way to roll with it. I would have cracked up if I was the other twin.
|
Cheese      This is the real reason for World War 2. Germans are dicks.
|
Rodents of Unusual Size      Optical illusory goodness.
|
Mayberry Pancakes      Good find, that's absolutely brilliant. I'd start reliving all my fourth-grade fantasies.
|
a flaming monkey      needs more vampire sex...nevertheless: +5
|
waxeater      This isn't how mirrors work. I know because I'm a bouncer and I bounce at bars that have mirrors.
|
Rudy      It's like the candid camera version of the trick from The Prestige.
|
Feyd      Terrific idea.
|
Frostilicus      the second to last woman in the brown jacket was so german it hurt
|
j lzrd / swift idiot      I laaaaughed, and laaaaaughed! :D
|
fatatty      And people say Americans are stupid.
|
bang to buck ratio      I think it'd be interesting to play with the differences between the two women and the two rooms and see to what extent people will selectively interpret dissonant visual cues. Or: surprise punching
|
coprolalia     They missed the chance to scare the bejesus out of them, there.
|
|
j lzrd / swift idiot See, now Petrus knows how to do this RIGHT. Next time, it's gotta be a dingey, scummy bathroom with maybe one half-functioning florescent tube, and after dark. Maybe at some truck stop where enough people would be eliminating waste at that hour to make it work. Pull some Japanese horror on truckers, then ask them to sign release papers on the footage for cash, after they finish eliminating their waste in their pants.
|
Shion Forget the knife, have the creepy dingy bathroom, of course, but have the twin on the opposite side of the mirror just stop mimicking the first one and slowly turn and stare at you with an entirely blank expression while the one on your side continues to blithely fix her make up.
Would put me in the institution right quick.
|
meowmers      just go take a shit like you came in here for.
|
seriouslyuguys      Amazing.
|
RockBolt      These people are too polite, my first instinct would have been to hip check that woman
|
Big Beef Burritos Supreme      I can only see two outcomes for me:
Instantly work out the trick, or:
Nervous breakdown
|
caseyt Lol... this was pretty cool.
|
colander   i like the concept, but the way they pulled this off was BORING
the right way to do it would be for the mirror twins to totally ignore any other people in the bathroom
this would have the effect of forcing them to question the very fact of their material existence
|
Alektorophobic that would inevitably lead to someone grabbing the girl and shaking her to get her attention.
|
|
lucienpsinger      I love how even after the giveaway, the woman in red still doesn't get it.
