This is difficult to explain in words, so bear with me.

Spoiler

The effect incorporates two key elements: an angled mirror and black paint.

Before the hole is "attached" by Roger to the wall, it looks like he is holding a large empty black void which is the hole. The interior of the hole is painted completely black so that even from a distance it gives the illusion that the whole has no perceivable depth. It just looks like a flat black object. This is key to the first part of the illusion.

The second part of the illusion is accomplished by covering the side of the hole which is facing you with a mirror. The only thing is you can't tell it's a mirror because the mirror is not facing you. Instead, the mirror is at a 45 degree angle. Therefore, the reflection you actually see in the mirror is the reflection of the wall it's adjacent to. Thus giving the illusion that the wall extends to the end of the room, when in reality, the mirror is actually covering the side of the tunnel that exits the attraction. As you approach, Roger "pushes" the entire mechanism into the wall such that you don't ever get to see the mirror up close... And that's how it's done.

I also like that effect. It is a moving wall that has a mirred sides.
