I know many stores have cameras all over the place which
makes you wonder if there is one in the dressing rooms.
TWO WAY MIRRORS
I thought it was quite interesting! And I know in about 30
seconds you're going do what I did and find the nearest
mirror.
Often heard about the 2-way mirror but could never tell.
So, I thought you might be interested. Do you know how
to determine if a mirror is 2-way or not? This is not to
scare you, but to make you aware. A lecturer who travels
all over the US and gives seminars and techniques for
businesswomen passed this on.
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, or actually a 2-way mirror (I.e., they can see
you, but you can't see them)? There have been many
cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female
changing rooms. 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? Just 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, FOR IT IS a 2-WAY MIRROR!
"No Space, Leave the Place" So remember, every time you
see a mirror, do the "fingernail test." It doesn't cost you
anything.
Remember: "No Space, Leave the Place"

Two corrections...
If there is "no space" between your nail and the reflection, it COULD be
either metal or a "first surface" mirror.
The only way I know to accurately tell if it is a "2-way" mirror is to
use a flashlight. The reason you can't see people on the other side of a
2-way mirror is that it is dark on that side of the glass. If you turn on
a flashlight and hold the front of the light against the glass, you will
see if there is something behind it.
