🧙‍♀️ Invisibility Cloak using Python & OpenCV

✨ Ever wished you could disappear like Harry Potter under his invisibility cloak?
With this Python + OpenCV project, you can! It detects a specific color (like red) and replaces it with the background in real time — creating an invisibility illusion using your webcam.

🚀 How It Works

1. Captures the background frame
2. Detects the cloak color using HSV masking (e.g., red)
3. Masks the cloak and replaces it with the saved background
4. Real-time display makes the person appear invisible!
