Heeey! Not to pat our own backs or anything, but this turned out soo damn cool. Hope you enjoyed it! :D

Have a great day everyone
I think you're allowed to be proud of that lmao
Absolutely love when you create models for the bookshelf!
You have mistake. The other balls don't have fire.
I love all your videos and I love your hair I do all sorts of different colors
Next infinite portal ?
Can we just appreciate how many different skill sets and talents she has? Creative design, a magician's knowledge of visual illusions, construction, creating those textures with just cardboard and paint, circuitry, teaching on camera in an entertaining way and she's running a business too-- brava!
That's all I kept thinking about. This has really inspired me to just give up.
@@magnetictheory Don't think about the competition out there. Just do what you do and keep getting better at it. She's extremely good at what she does but she didn't get there overnight.
@@jonsimon5779 Something I can relate to in different ways of talent. I am telling you, I never was open minded as a child, but when I got older I realized I wanted to know more about how things work and how its made. I see that she is very open minded like me and expanding your knowledge of the things you find interesting and willing to do so, it is part of the adrenaline. She inspires me because of her unique side of talent and personality. Watching these videos really help relieve my artist block.
Plus maintaining that dump truck is another skill I'd say.
Yep! Sheâs crazy talented! But, did you notice that she has one really short finger?
If Hogwarts had art classes :
they would suck like most of the other classes... sadly
It'd probably be way easier than the muggle world đ
âHello children, today we are gonna be making an entire real world scale Hogwarts made out of chopsticksâ (read this with McGonagallâs voice lol)
That would be horrible, just imagine that you spend the entire session painting the perfect person just to have him run out of the painting just before you turn in your assignment.
@@christianbay7614 at what point do the people in the painting actually start moving tho?
This is easily the most incredible infinite mirror object I've ever seen.
The added peppers ghost effect on top of what the mirror is already doing really tricks your brain in a most profound way. You should build a USB charger into the side so you can keep your phone plugged into it at all times you're not using it.
MARTINA THIS IS EASILY ONE OF THE COOLEST THINGS YOU'VE EVER MADE
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Absolutely Amazing Martina
I have a cousin named Martina
@green mayo manđșđŠ the person that made the thing in the video
Exactly what I came here to say. So small, yet so super cool
Now imagine how cool it would be with a life sized version placed into a wall.
Ok now I canât sleep until I see this in person that would be insane
High key want that in my room but Iâll scare myself at night
@@korettopun1203 worth it
Need a life sized iphone to make the flames look real đ€Ł
@@tearsofawaterfall2656 like a tv :)
It looks so good I'm actually worried about the open flames next to all those old texts. Great project and amazing execution.
that thought crossed my mind too.. đ
Could be magical flames! The wonders of fantasy
11:01 i LOVE that you choose to show this part. Everybody knows that feeling and this is not schadenfreude, itâs just nice to see that we are not alone.
Seriously impressed with the attention to detail - the end result is just perfect!
Yes, its awesome.
hello there :>
That is incredible!
You're a maker, so you probably already know this, but;
For cardboard (or any paper product) wood glue is amazing. I tried superglue on corrugated cardboard once and had the same experience you did đ
U?
Here?
Whoa, didn't know atomic shrimp watches nerdforge as well! :D
You have literally outdone yourself this is SO COOL
Thank you, Martina! :D
You literally wrote a comment, then I literally read it and literally replied to it.
@@remlya #Martinaception
This is WAAAAY better then the Harry Potter one... Loved it... Never knew science could meet art...
My thoughts exactly!!!
I seriously can't decide which is greater - your imagination, your skills, or your enthusiasm for your work. Fantastic build!
This may be my favorite project of yours. The infinity effect, the lighting, and to top it all off the flame effect. The sense of magic and wonder this inspires is outstanding.
Imagine that at large scale in the wall. someone would walk into it no doubt lol
Haha... nice.
L-space portal FTW! XD
like me for example: "smack"
You would need a mobile phone with a very large screen...
@@boumbh or a flat screen TV sideways.... Lol
Iâve been working in miniatures for over 20 years and this is one of the coolest, most inventive things Iâve ever seen. Oh yeah.... Iâm making one for my Granddaughters castle. Thank you !!!
Now I wish I was your grand daughter đ
@@malihakarim944 Awwww! Let me finish the one for my granddaughter and weâll see what I can do for you: đ
Iâve learned that one of lifeâs greatest blessings is to grow old enough to have Grandkids so you can spoil them rotten then send them home to their parents. đ
This was awesome, didn't it? Do you have a CZcams channel or Facebook where will you post your work? I'd like to make one for myself, yeah I'm that selfish đ. Your granddaughter will be delighted for sure đ
I want to be your grand child now XD. I would love to follow you and see your work if possible. Also will be spoiling my grand kids too haha
Definitely reply with your social media info please!!!! I want to check out all the awesomeness!!!
This video changed my life. I saw this video numerous times and now I cannot stop making miniatures. I have made this little library four times since then. The way you explain everything makes it so easy to follow. Thank you for your amazing content, @Nerdforge
This is one of the coolest things Iâve ever seen! That ghost technique is awesome
what she said. coolest things Iâve ever!
Pepper's ghost is used in Disney's Haunted Mansion attraction.
CZcams just dropped this channel in my feed and I'm SO happy they did. I've been binge-watching for a while and I'm friggin speechless. Her work is beyond compare but this piece! The visual illusion just blew my mind......simply incredible. Thank youđ
Me too
Martina complaining about superglue is the most relatable thing. I once accidentally superglued the tube of superglue to the carpet in my craft room when I dropped it because I had superglued my fingers together because the tube exploded for no reason. I feel your pain.
Trying having to unsuperflue a toddler you are babysitting because his mom left a tube out where only a toddler could find it
@@stephanierebel-energyinflu7389 Ok you win. đ
@@stephanierebel-energyinflu7389 OK that sounds like a nightmare.
What the Hell! What was the mother thinking? That is kinda dangerous, depending on what the kid glues.
My sincere sympathy.
One time a tube exploded in my hand when I was squeezing it out, my hand was stuck as a fist for a few hours
@Zayalla Fantasy You are probably right. Kids get in places that even cats don't dare to go. She probably left it in some place safe but the kid stars screaming and when she gets back it's gone or she just forgot.
Life, normal stuff, happens every time, (it happens to me every hour and I don't have kids, just a cat that gets in everything!).
And when i thought it couldn't get any better, the flames came.
That seriously made the whole thing pop
Just saw this, and it's amazing.
Only thing I was thinking though was how cool it'd be if you added a switch to the doors, so the effect turned on whenever the doors were opened and turned off when they shut.
I'm a long time lurker and I honestly don't know how I missed this but omfg it's so cool! I absolutely love everything you make and your excitement when everything comes together is frigging contagious! I'm sure I'm not the only one smiling like crazy when seeing how happy & excited you are as you unveil the finished piece.
Most people would use the infinity effect on just the lights and nothing else. You took it up a notch twice by (1) focusing the infinity effect on the books and shelves, and (2) super imposing torch fire as part of its own effect. Outstanding and original; you nailed it perfectly! đ đ Next project: make it life-sized.
I thought is was going to be lifesizedđ€Ł.
But this really looks amazing.â€
So are there going to be instructions for this masterpiece? Because A) I need it B) My dad needs it and C) I need it.
This is by far the greatest work of art I have witnessed on CZcams.
Yes, what Serena said!! WE NEED DIZ!!
I'm amazed some studio hasn't snatched you away but I'm infinitely grateful they haven't. You are so incredibly talented and we are so blessed you share it with us. I can't get over the flames!
The pepperâs ghost effect really takes this to the next level and makes it amazing!!
I am speechless
Maxence !! XD hello you awesome person âšâš
19:23 and beyond
How satisfying đđđ
Ok, as if everything wasn't cool enough to begin with, adding the flames using an old theater trick not only looked beyond amazing, but got me so freaking excited!
Now, if only we could find a way to use something so you wouldn't need to use your phone...
raspberry pi zero and a cheap 20 dollar lcd kit would do this just fine
maybe buy another super cheap phone?
@@abhinaglapura5995 Something tells me this IS her other (OLD) phone, destined for the trash but repurposed. Does that mean it's just going to play a video forevermore? It also means she needs to string a usb cable to it to continuously charge it. And if you string one cable...then you might as well get wallpower to the LED's as well. Martina this is a wallwart connected to a AA battery shell that fits into a battery pack but provides continuous DC power. www.amazon.de/-/en/Battery-adapter-batteries-battery-accessories/dp/B083DGQDFV/ref=sr_1_6
ahem *fire*
@@Sarge92 Probably the best suggestion, also would use less power then most phones.
19:45 I'm actually amazed that depth-of-field from the camera lens works on something like this. You'd think the focus point can't really go past the mirror, yet it does seem to focus on the furthest reflections :o
I think that was a manual focus pull.
This is THE coolest book nook. You've successfully made an entrance into another world. I am so blown away.
Holy shit this is amazing. It looks like something you'd find in a wizard's library. You would be drawn in after a quick glance and then you'd look closer and see there's a something truly magical afoot in the bookshelf and marvel and wonder at this hidden and whimsical mystery you just found
I CAN'T SAY MORE THAN *WOW*
wow
How about "damn" and "fuck" I've been on this channel all of 2.5 and she's dropped both words: Spritiually-cursed AND aggressive intercourse. Got it, got the vibe of this place.
it feels really magical! I can't help but mesmerize by it. It looks real! Like I feel like I am in another dimension where magic exists!
Yeah: you can say wow twice... three times, four...
I've built miniatures for probably two of your lifetimes, and this is one of the coolest builds I have seen. You are an absolute genius! I had to subscribe to your channel just to see what you'll pull off next time around. I am also amazed at how clean and neat you keep your work area.
This project came out really awesome. The only things I would have done differently is to run the flame from an Arduino powered screen and I would have possibly added a usb charging board and 18650 battery pack so it could be portable or plugged in.
TOO COOOL! I freakin love your book nook projects, and while diagon alley was amazing, this is a new level of witchcraft!!!! And the flames!!! That animation just brought it to an untoppable level of cool. Seriously. With all these projects you've got customizing your stuff, your place will be an an unmatchable level of amazing
Thank you so much! :D
I kinda wanna visit your house JUST to see all this cool stuff you've built. This turned out freaking AMAZING! When the camera was close up, I felt like I could walk in and look through the ancient books on the shelves! You really know how to capture fantasy.
This is absolutely amazing from beginning to end. The attention to detail is just insane and the work and skill...phenomenal.
Impressive doesn't even cover how well you have combined so many different techniques seamlessly into a project. Looking forward to all you have to offer in videos to come.
Thank you
You know what would be cool to add to it? Some windows with a thunderstorm and rain effect. Maybe an actual ghost (or two) on the phone that fades in and out and they are moving around.
This is so impressive and I'm sure a lot of us have old phones and tablets that are now too slow to be useful. Well a use has just appeared and its as a peppers ghost machine. There's so much you could do with this in that bookshelf format. Absolutely inspiring and it turned out 100 times better than I thought it would.
Thatâs just fantastic. The stuff dreams are made of. I can just feel how much imagination decor like this could inspire- especially in young ones â€ïž
That turned out beautiful! Martina and hansie always do a fabulous job
Itâs official. Youâre a wizard and you wonât convince me otherwise, Martina.
Holy GRIMOIRE Tome's in a Ancient library, It looks absolutely Tremendous!! I totally love how it came out in the end. It looks so magically real. Keep up the great work Nerdforge. :)
pls do a step by step for thisss with all the dimentions techniquesss
the way i SCREAMED when u restarted the scene and introduced the foamboard like the cardboard had just never happened, lmaoo
you didnt scream, stop being dramatic
lmao. go outside and touch some grass, pls.
Why were you screaming? Excitement, joy, rage, or just general insanity. You sound emotionally unstable.
The way I SCREAMED & CLAPPED at the final result !!
Why are people being so nasty? Get a life and let the guy SCREAM!
I would love to see nerdforge do a project with Adam Savage. I think it would be an awesome project and an awesome video.
If you can convince him, we're down ;)
A collab with Black Magic Crafts would be AMAZING
also simone giertz, plus she works with adam savage XD
A collaboration made in nerd heaven đ
I love how you did the floor tiles. Very clever
this is so freaking cool!!! The fire effect was truly one of the most mesmerizing things I have ever seen. This makes me wanna own a bookshelf and make such cool things to put into it! Great job guys
Martina: THIS BOARD ISN'T STRAIGHT!!!
Me: Relatable.
iâm so glad this video came up in my recommended. you are so unbelievably talented! this was amazing to watch you construct, you definitely gained a new subscriber!
Thank you so much!!
I just found your channel and I'm so happy I did.
I've been searching CZcams channels for Infinity mirrors for my Star wars display case and you gave me some amazing ideas.
I've also started watching your other videos and even more ideas are popping into my head. Thank you for your hard work and showing how you do things.
This book nook that you made is absolutely amazing.
Keep up the amazing work.đđ
Omg I love this!! Iâve only seen two of your videos and Iâm subscribed! I love your work!
imagine being a little mouse and coming across this
MY LIBRARY NOW!
play moss on psvrđ
How bout ants
Now the ghost mice have something to read! Finally!
**Squeaks cuteley** Ma'am, can I please live here?
"almost straight?"
"this board isn't straight!!"
"won't glue on straight"
"to make it STRAIGHT"
lol, like me
Gay power đâ€ïžđłïžâđ
Donât worry, the board is just gay đ
Oh, the emotions of the creative process!
Mood!
How many times have I felt this way? Way too many to count! đ€Șđ€Șđ€Ș
That worked SO WELL! this might be my favorite build youâve done. Superb FX!
You do such wickedly awesome projects. I am truly amazed by the attention to details and all the extra effort you put into your projects. It is wonderful to see the pride and sheer pleasure you have every video. Thank you for sharing with those of us who aspire to your freakin awesomeness. Happy Holidays to you and yours and may you be blessed with good fortunes in the years to come.
This feels like a spell the librarian of Hogwarts would cast to trap anyone using the space after working hours, make it infinite so even if the person immediately decides to get out, they can't. Amazing work!
"Let's get down to business.."
Me: Sophie don't do it, don't do it
My Brain: TO DEFEAT THE HUNS!!! đ€Šââïžđ€Šââïž
Yep...me too đ
Same
Did they send me cardboard but not hot glue guns?
Every time
đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
I love this final results music! I keep coming back and listen to it including seeing this unique product again!!
This is flipping awesome, and I love the ghost flames! So cool đ€©
I might be sensitive but literally shed a couple tears, lol. This is beyond beautiful, it's freaking magical.
That turned out sweeeet! Love how you mixed the new infinity mirror effect. With the old school stage effect. That puts it over the top. This rocks!
Thanks so much!!
This is freaking awesome! Those doors are incredible. So are the bookshelves. So is the floor. The real showstopper is the special effects of the burning torches. Altogether, it's a fabulous piece of which you are justifiably proud. I'm saving this video to one play lists. I also sympathize with your gluing efforts. I say a lot of bad words. đ¶
Your attention to detail and overall vision are so incredible. This is one of the coolest things I have seen on CZcams. Great job...
My dad and I are working on book nooks of our own inspired by the stuff you do, weâre almost finished with one of them so far
I apologise, it's just comment is off topic. I'm going through a rough time with my mental health and just found your channel a few weeks ago and your content beings me so much joy. I truly admire your vast set of skills and your seemingly never ending creativity and enthusiasm. Thank you for being your wonderfully, colorful self and for sharing it with the world.
Much love from Berlin, Germany.đ
Much strength send to you, I'm not in a great place either and I'm so happy with this amazing and trigger free content. I've been a viewer for a few years now and I'm so proud for what this channel has become, a true place of joy and amazement.
@@dinaatjuh thank you so much for your encouragement. Very much appreciated. Sending it back to you, wishing you someone to reach out to, if you need it.đđđ
đđ€Send you hugs!
@@angidelop0999 Thank you.đ
It's beautiful! I love your attention to detail!
looks so freaking amazing! all the details and the way you made it.... this is absolutely great.
Iâm staring at the final results, catching my mouth agape.
This has a feeling of childlike wonderđ
How can I not be impressed.
It' absolutely crazy how creative and skilfull you are!
your soldering is so clean and tidy, i could watch you solder all day oh my gooood
I don't know how I got here, but wow, that's something special! I got chills watching the final results.. đ
It looks really cool! You've inspired me to craft again lol
This is so beautifully inspired and clever, both on an artistic level and also technical level.
Outstanding! The effects are great, looks like it does go off into infinity. Well done.
It's like a window to a second library!
Fun fact: Pepper's Ghost is actually used in the ballroom scene at Disneyland's Haunted Mansion ride!!!
I love this!!! I've got to make one of these for my own library!!!đ„đđ„
Those crafty ghost hitch hikers!
I KNOW! That ride was exactly what i was thinking of when she brought that thing up! But i STILL dont get how they do that illusion in such a big space with people dancing XD
@@damotoneko1500 just absolutely massive panes of glass.
@@MCDreng I wish i could see how that works :D
Look for the cobwebs in the corner...years ago someone threw something and cracked the glass. So instead of replacing they covered it up.
Absolutely amazing the concept, effects, presentation. All is just amazing! Love the Chanel looking forward towards your next creation!
Watched this last night and it gave me the idea to do something similar for my DVD shelf with a angled top to where it goes down to the smaller Blu Ray cases. Planning on doing a infinity mirror based on the Paris Catacombs. So thanks for the idea
Mom: "Wow, she really works fast!"
Me: "That's speeded up footage, Mom."
Your English teacher: "That's *sped* up footage."
The joke --- / you \ -->
@@mattcoalman No one missed the joke, well except for you of course.
i've defenitely never seen anything more charming than this work. I've got a feeling that i'm gonna see every single one of your videos.
The concept..so amazing. The construction and effect...truly a work of art!
I have watched this at least five times. I just love how this turns out. I do wish you would give measurements. I can never get my sizes rightâŠ
Just enchanting! But also inspiring-me being of (ahem) a slightly older age, l would adore to create a wardrobe leading to the snowy world of Narnia! The lamp, and the infinity of the forest! Will have to look into the original drawings. Thank you for the magic.
Great work as usual and presentation. I really dig the music, Many presenters fail to see importance of choosing good music! đ It completes the viewing experience!
This was so creative. Fantastic work
This is definitely my favorite make you've done. Excellent work. Absolutely love it.
Being a Disney kid has cursed me for life. No matter how many times I hear someone say, "Let's get down to business," my brain always says, "And defeat the Huns..."
đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł did they send me daughters when I asked for sons?
You're the saddest bunch I ever met
@@exs8241 so pack up, go home, youâre through
But you can bet before we're through
@@aditigunjal4231 no itâs how could I make a man out of you
Yes. The CZcams recommendation Gods have blessed me today. Only a few minutes in I can already tell Iâll probably be binge watching for the foreseeable future C:
Awsome project! Thanks for the one way mirror tip. That was useful
The fire feature is amazing. Great work. When you upgrade your
Phone you Can leave that phone in a the nook.
This is the COOLEST thing you've ever made, holy crap, I love it SO much!!! When I was a kid I would position my grandparents bathroom mirrors on their cabinet to face each other, it was one of those ones with 3 mirror.. doors? and I would peek through the crack at the middle one and stare at the infinity hallways. This is SOOOO much cooler! Amazing job!!!
Lmao I remember doing that too. I spent what felt like hours just staring at myself lol
Everytime you make a video I think "this is the coolest thing ever!!"
And then... You make another video :D
This reminds me of Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza, Italy. Really cool! Along with the music, the video is a work of art in itself.
Man the result is unbelievable! You are incredible!!! Amazing job
I found you on Facebook a few minutes ago and now I have to quit my job so I can watch your videos and make cool stuff for the rest of my life.
the library inside your bookshelf has got to be one of the most incredible things you have ever made!
that just looks so cool , its amazing how you did it
Oh my goodness! You have so much talent! I love book nooks! This is one of the most amazing ones I've seen!! đ
This is one of my favorites of your projects! The library looks like a tiny magical world :D
