![]() He also maintains his own version of an animist type of practice, as seen in his friendship with the moon (Yalitza Aparicio) and hiw more tenuous social connection to a famous comet that’s scheduled to pass by the Earth. ![]() Andrés is an expert in creating his own reality in this way it might just be the wealth and privilege, but he gets what he wants when he wants it without even trying. It’s October, so I’m going to lean into the occult analysis here and say both Tati and Andrés intuitively understand that magic (“magick,” if you’re witchy) is about little more than bending the subtle forces of the universe to your will. But getting on Andrés’s vibrational level, let alone Tati’s, would be impossible for most human beings without psychedelic drugs - or witchcraft. (I would still like to see it, if anyone from the show is reading this.) And sure, to a certain extent, we’re all living in a simulation of our own design.

I won't give you a step by step on building the project, because Torrey's instructions seem to be unique, but the idea behind the illusion is to reflect an lit image, not seen by the audience, through a piece of glass (or in our case Plexiglas). Torrey not only has easy to follow instructions for making one, and a short Doyle and Fossey story to go with it, but a child-friendly history lesson about Professor John Henry Pepper, the 19th century scientist, who created the "holographic", stage ghost illusion, which is still known today as "Pepper's ghost".Īll that we needed to build our own holographic machine, was an old (and somewhat decorated) cardboard box, a piece of Plexiglas (I have an one, taken from a poster picture frame, that I keep around for experiments), some black construction paper, a flash light, some scissors, and a couple toys (we used Lego men, and a sheep finger puppet). I've been looking for a project like this - though I'd been searching for "holograms for kids", since we watched The Magic School Bus Gets a Bright Idea (you can find that episode, here, on ). But, when it arrived in at the library, last night, and I flipped through the experiments in the back, I nearly nerded out with excitement to see a simple, "Pepper's ghost" in a box project. I hadn't actually planned on doing any "ghost" projects with the children this season, and I really hadn't intended on mentioning another book in this series, so soon. We managed to descarify (I'm officially declaring that to be a word), another bit of Halloween imagery, thanks to some help from Michele Torrey, and The Case of the Graveyard Ghost. ![]()
