Anyone wishing to see a very well executed version of Pepper’s Ghost illusion would do well to look at the next instalment in the Science of Scams series from Kat Akingbade and Derren Brown, below. Variations of the illusion have been used on stage for at least for the last 150 years, so it was only a matter of time before it came to YouTube.
