This exhibit demonstrates
symmetry in mirror reflections. A visitor stands with the edge of a
large mirror bisecting his body. To another visitor watching, the person
still looks whole because of the two-fold symmetry of the human body.
The fun starts when the first person starts moving. If that person lifts
their leg off the ground, for instance, the observer will see both legs
lift, leaving the performer without visible means of support.
We'll be adding interesting info and links here.
