Can someone please explain to me how the heck this optical illusion works??? It's called an "infinity tree" & I was staring at it for a good 10 minutes absolutely stumped.

Mirrors

A "one way" mirror on the front, and a normal one on the back, both facing inward

The light passes through the one way at the front but you still see all of the reflections

Google infinity mirror
