A saddle point is a point that is concave and convex at the same time, so what's it like to look into a mirror like that?

A huge thank you to Brian at AlphaPhoenix for the first mirror. Check out his brilliant video showing how it was made: /youtube/video/fyD1yv-6sTc and be sure to subscribe!

And a huge thank you to Andrew Draminski and Michael Barson for the second mirror.
