Guest guest Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Hello Friends,Have you seen the recent advertisement of M/S SAINT GOBAIN GLASSES shown in TELEVISIONS - Then you must have known about 2 Way mirror. Not to scare you, but to make sure that you are aware. Many of the hotels and textile showrooms cheat the customers this way & watch privately.HOW TO DETECT A 2-WAY MIRROR When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotelrooms,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 cant see them).There have been many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female changing rooms or bathroom 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 2-WAY MIRROR!(there is someone seeing you from the other side). So remember, every time you see a mirror, do the "fingernail test." . It is simple to do. The reason there is a gap on a real mirror, is because the silver is onthe back of the mirror UNDER the glass. Whereas with a two-way mirror, the silver is on the surface.Keep it in mind! .Ladies: Share this with your friends.Men: Share this with your sisters, wife, daughters, friends, colleagues, etc. Best Regards N.Sriram Mail - Now with 25x more storage than before!
