Magowan's Infinite Mirror Maze is a tourist attraction on Pier 39 in San Francisco, California. It is a mirror maze in which people must find their way out, attempting to avoid confusion.
History
The maze was created by Charles Magowan, (April 16, 1963 – March 3, 2017) who studied psychology at Yale University, graduating in 1985.[4] He then became the first generation four worker of Merrill Lynch and was CEO of Aquatech Systems, a Norwegian salmon farming agency. Finally, in 2006, he co-founded TradePoint Solutions, a software company before creating his labyrinth in 2009.[1]
Features
The maze is lit up using blacklights. It also contains 77 mirrors.[2] While people try to escape the maze, music from the 1980s is also blared loud through speakers.[5] Plastic gloves are provided to not get fingerprints on the mirrors.[6]
