Erica brought up this idea of doing Peppers Ghost as a DIY activity for kids.

Most instructions call for a piece of acrylic or glass. I happen to have some CD covers so I wanted to prove that could work. I used a throwie for a light source.

I think this is a good start. I took a ghost pic with my Tragically Hip clock. Worked quite well considering I used a pretty rough CD case. And I didn’t use a black background on my ghost image.
