Step in front of the video screen with the camera above it, make sure your hair looks good, maybe take a selfie then get a surprise.
After a few moments of reflecting your every move, like the mirror it is, your video "reflection" furrows its eyebrows and scowls, puts down the cellphone, looks at
it then launches into a little Charlie Chaplin style mime impression of somebody looking at their phone too much, making goofy faces, laughing at memes etc. Then it scowls and throws the phone over its shoulder. Keep in mind, this is a video of you doing all of this.
When you look surprised, "you" make fun of real you by exaggerating your expressions, body language etc. It basically launches into a mime comedy routine at your expense.
Pretty self-explanatory how it's done, when the person walks up and unsuspectingly uses the video monitor of themselves as a mirror, the recordings of the subject are made and fed into the deep fake program. There are other cameras not showing that get other angles to make the faux version of the person more realistic.
There are obviously other things you could do with this virtual person, turn them into a cartoon character of themselves, a monster version, zombie or whatever, but I think a smart aleck poking fun at the person would be the most entertaining.
Addendum: Cheap phone version you can do today. See My response to Poc's post.

Hey Poc, how about this? It just occurred to me, a cheap way to get this effect on your phone would be to just have a little choreographed routine of a video where you look in your phone's camera to make sure your hair looks good or something like a mirror, then your "reflection" launches into making faces or something. |
|
|
Practice doing exactly what you did in the "mirror" for the first few moments. Then with somebody watching, holding the phone up like you're still using it as a mirror, look away from the phone and at the person while your video makes a face or something. Then turn back and continue your routine. |
|
|
So the effect would be a stunt for the person watching you and your phone as your "mirror image" comes to life. If you pulled it off right you might get a "Oh my god! Did you see that?" |

Would take a little practice, but to bring concept from folklore and literature to reality, like actually landing on the moon despite it's having been written about by Jules Vern is really what technology is all about. Imagine it, do it. |

It's what makes the world an adventure. For some of us anyway. |

This would be good fun. Reminds me of that Japanese robotic dancing guy's final act on America's Got Talent. |
