Candle in The Mirror Illusion

Here’s an interesting optical illusion submitted by Jaime Heravi. It looks as if there were two candles and two candle holders in front of the mirror. Wrong! First I thought it was bad illusion, since I didn’t read carefully what Jaime wrote, but after realizing there is only one candle in this photo, I had a nice surprise. Do you know how it was done?

We have similar, yet opposite situation in this article. Try figuring out both of the illusions, and where the flame disappeared in second one, and send in your comments. Thanks Jaime for another cool illusion for our site. I have trouble finding quality stuff all of you will like, but I have few more audio illusions waiting to be posted. I realized you like those very much!

Ohh, and about that very important exam I told you about before, I passed it! It is the hardest exam on my university, and when you pass it, you can consider your self Dr. Science. The exam is called Electronics 2, on my faculty Electrotechnics and Computer engineering.
