Description
Pepper’s ghost is an illusion technique used in theatre, haunted houses, dark rides, and magic tricks. It uses plate glass, Plexiglas or plastic film and special lighting techniques to make objects seem to appear or disappear, become transparent, or to make one object morph into another. It is named after John Henry Pepper, who popularized the effect.

Trivia: Lewis Carroll (author of “Alice In Wonderland” and other surreal works) was himself a fan of theatre and stage illusions, and some believe Pepper’s ghost served as his inspiration for the Cheshire Cat, a character who disappears leaving only his smile behind.
