HOW TO DETECT A TWO-WAY MIRROR

Hey friends. Share this information with people you know. Don’t know how far this is true, but well, no harm in knowing.

Have you seen recent advertisement of M/S SAINT GOBAIN GLASSES shown on TELEVISION? Then you probably know about two-way mirror which was also shown in the Hindi language movie HUMRAAZ. How do we determine if a mirror is 2 way or not (not a Joke!)? Not to scare you, but to make you aware. Many of the hotels and boutiques cheat customers by installing two-way mirrors without customers’ knowledge & watch privately.

HOW TO DETECT A TWO-WAY MIRROR
When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc., how many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, r actually a two-way mirror i.e., they can see you, but you can't see them). There have been many cases of people installing two-way mirrors in female changing rooms or restrooms or bedrooms. It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by just looking at it. So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty what type of mirror we are looking at?

CONDUCT THIS SIMPLE TEST
Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is a GENUINE mirror. However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE, IT IS A TWO-WAY MIRROR! (There is someone seeing you from the other side). So remember, every time you see a mirror, do the "fingernail test." It doesn't cost you anything. It is simple to do. The reason there is a gap on a real mirror is that the silver is on the back of the mirror UNDER the glass. With a two-way mirror, the silver is on the surface. Keep it in mind! Check every time you enter hotel rooms or public toilets. May be someone is filming you.
