Devil's Toy Box

According to some people, mirrors can be used to create a portal to the "other side" in a similar fashion to Ouiji boards. The idea is that two mirrors facing eachother will be reflected into infinity, although how this suddenly becomes a portal to the other side is beyond me. Mirrors carry many superstitions, the most obvious one that if you break a mirror you will have seven years of bad luck. Saying the words Candyman or Bloody Mary into a mirror in darkened room a certain number of times will result in them appearing on the other side is another superstition that mirrors have. Although the idea of mirrors carrying these special functions is entertaining, I hold that mirrors remain a good way to decorate your house and check out your teeth, and have no paranormal qualities whatsoever.

The Devil's Toy Box is a concept I have only just come across and I thought I would spread the word on this fishy piece of flimflammery. To make one, simple take six mirror squares, all of equal width, and glue them so their faces are inward. SUPPOSEDLY, once this is done, a portal is made and things get trapped in the box. Experimenters have heard growling noises come from within the box. Then you give it as a gift to your worst enemy, so when they open it............nothing happens! However, it would be awesome to submit this idea to Myth Busters or do experiments on your own and see if you hear any growling (besides that of your stomach, that doesn't count!)

I read about it here:
