The crucial parts are 3 or more mirrors and colored beads.
The mirrors are all facing each other, so they’re reflecting off each other making anything inside them look more complex. The reflections are being reflected, the reflections of the reflections are being reflected, and so on.

The colored beads are being reflected by the mirrors, so they look far more complicated than they really are.
