The mirror frame rests in a wooden base unit for easy performance. Truly a well thought out piece of workmanship and very clever apparatus.Walk over to the standing mirror in a wooden base and clean it off with a silk. You notice a dirt mark in the mirror and explain it must be a really deep stain in the glass mirror.Slowly you push the silk INTO the center of the mirror!! The silk is IN the mirror and hanging downward. Give the silk a push and it slowly MELTS into the mirror! Take a step back so everyone can clearly view this miracle. The continues to melt right INTO the mirror itself to 1/4 of its size!! Measures 11.5" wide by 13.5" Tall.
