00:00Pepper's Ghost,

00:01do you know what to do in the haunted mansion attractions?

00:05Yes!

00:05There's something to show up on the hangin.

00:08Ah, the illusion is Pepper's Ghost.

00:12I'm afraid of it.

00:13Because it's an illusion,

00:16a technique that uses theater,

00:17museums, movies, and concerts.

00:19It's an illusion that's inside the audience.

00:23It's like special effects,

00:25but it's live.

00:26Tama.

00:27May dalawang area sa setup.

00:29Yung isa, nakikita ng audience na parang normal na stage lang.

00:32Yung isa naman, nakatago.

00:34Doon nilalagay yung actor o prop na gaganap ng multo.

00:38Meron ding malaking salamin o clear glass

00:41na naghihiwalay sa dalawang area.

00:43Kapag inilawan yung nakatagong area,

00:45magre-reflect yung image sa salamin

00:47at magmumukhang lumulutang sa stage.

00:50Ah, kaya parang may apparition sa hangin.

00:53Hindi po yan, multo?

00:54Hindi.

00:55At minsan, nilalagyan pa nila ng colored lights

00:58para mas creepy at mas mukhang galing sa ibang mundo.

01:02Ah, eh, sino po naka-invento niyan?

01:05Noong 16th century pa,

01:07unang napakita ang ganitong konsepto ni Giambattista de la Porta,

01:11isang Italian scientist.

01:13Pero bakit Pepper's Ghost ang tawag?

01:15Noong 1862 kasi, si Henry Dirks ay gumawa ng stage setup na tinawag niyang

01:20Dirksian Fantasmogaria.

01:22Gusto niya sana itong ibenta sa mga teatro.

01:25Pero sobrang mahal install at i-maintain.

01:27So saan pumasok si Pepper?

01:29Noong 1863, ipinakita ni Dirks ang setup niya sa Royal Polytechnic sa London.

01:34Doon ito nakita ng isa pang inventor na si John Henry Pepper.

01:38Siya yung Pepper?

01:39Oo!

01:40Gumawa siya ng sarili niyang version ng teknik

01:42at ginamit ito sa play na The Haunted Man ni Charles Dickens.

01:46Sumigat ito ng husto.

01:47Kaya sa kanya, ipinangalan yung special effect.

01:50Lagi naman binibigan ni Pepper ng credit si Dirks.

01:53Later on, piniramahan ni Dirks ang financial rights kay Pepper.

01:56At mula noon, Pepper's Ghost na talaga ang tawag sa effect.

01:59Grabe no! Yung akala mo multo, science lang pala!

02:03I believe!
