Mirrored box

A foldable box with a hidden compartment and optical illusion, said foldable box comprising:

• a sheet of semi-rigid material presenting a bottom panel, a left inner side panel, a right inner side panel, a mirror panel, a front panel, a top panel, a left outer side panel, a right outer side panel, a back panel and an inner backer panel;
• said left inner side panel connected to said bottom panel along a first fold line;
• said right inner side panel connected to said bottom panel along a second fold line opposite said first fold line;
• said mirror panel having a reflective surface and connected to said bottom panel along a third fold line;
• said front panel having an aperture and connected to said bottom panel along a fourth fold line opposite said third fold line;
• said top panel having an aperture and connected to said front panel along a fifth fold line opposite said fourth fold line;
• said left outer side panel connected to said top panel along a sixth fold line;
• said right outer side panel connected to said top panel along a seventh fold line opposite said sixth fold line;
• said back panel connected to said top panel along an eighth fold line opposite said fifth fold line;
• said inner backer panel connected to said back panel along a ninth fold line opposite said eighth fold line;
• wherein said mirror panel is folded along said third fold line flat against said bottom panel;
• wherein said inner backer panel is folded along said ninth fold line flat against said back panel;
• wherein said top panel is folded along said fifth fold line flat against said front panel and wherein a first surface of said mirror panel opposite said reflective surface is bonded to a second surface of said backer panel;
• wherein simultaneously said back panel is folded along said eighth fold line to a right angle to said top panel, said top panel is folded along said fifth fold line to a right angle to said front panel, said front panel is folded along said fourth panel to a right angle to said bottom panel, said inner backer panel is folded along said ninth fold line to a 45-degree angle to said back panel, and said mirror panel is folded along said third fold line to a 45-degree angle to said bottom panel dividing an interior compartment of said foldable box into a front compartment and a hidden compartment;
• wherein said left and right inner side panels are folded upwardly from said bottom panel along said first and second fold lines respectively to a right angle to form interior sides of said foldable box;
• and
• wherein said left and right outer panels are folded downwardly from said top panel along said sixth and seventh fold lines respectively to a right angle over said left and right interior side panels to enclose said foldable box.

A method of creating a box with a hidden compartment and optical illusion, said method comprising:

• a sheet of semi-rigid material presenting a bottom panel, a left inner side panel, a right inner side panel, a mirror panel, a front panel, a top panel, a left outer side panel, a right outer side panel, and a back panel;
• said left inner side panel connected to said bottom panel along a first fold line;
• said right inner side panel connected to said bottom panel along a second fold line opposite said first fold line;
• said mirror panel having a reflective surface and connected to said bottom panel along a third fold line;
• said front panel having an aperture and connected to said bottom panel along a fourth fold line opposite said third fold line;
• said top panel having an aperture and connected to said front panel along a fifth fold line opposite said fourth fold line;
• said left outer side panel connected to said top panel along a sixth fold line;
• said right outer side panel connected to said top panel along a seventh fold line opposite said sixth fold line;
• said back panel connected to said top panel along an eighth fold line opposite said fifth fold line;
• folding said mirror panel along said third fold line flat against said bottom panel;
• folding said top panel along said fifth fold line flat against said front panel;
• simultaneously folding said back panel along said eighth fold line to a right angle to said top panel, said top panel along said fifth fold line to a right angle to said front panel, said front panel along said fourth panel to a right angle to said bottom panel, and said mirror panel along said third fold line to a 45-degree angle to said bottom panel dividing an interior compartment of said foldable box into a front compartment and a hidden compartment;
• folding said left and right inner side panels upwardly from said bottom panel along said first and second fold lines respectively to a right angle to form interior sides of said foldable box;
• and
• folding said left and right outer panels downwardly from said top panel along said sixth and seventh fold lines respectively to a right angle over said left and right interior side panels to enclose said foldable box.
