In the same vein, for those of you with access to the BBC, the new
series of 
"Science Shack" will include an episode about making things dissapear.
One 
example is similar to this projector/camera set-up, which is the basic
idea 
behind the latest bond car (the gorgeous Aston Martin). The most
low-tech 
idea (and from what I've seen the most effective) was when the presenter
was 
wearing a suit made of lots of mirror tiles. Standing in a wood the guy
was 
completely invisible, it was spooky! Watch out for it!
