        I got my two mirrors (24" and 27") here (germany): https://www.myspiegel.de/spionspiegel-pg-2102.html
        Good quality! I’ll post some pictures soon.

        At first I wanted to give foils a try, but the result was terrible.

          If only people would understand this and not try to save a few bucks on a +$200,- project … ;)

            Thanks to all for your answers and contributions.
            Is there any recommandation about the best reflection and transmission ratio to use for such magic mirror ?
            Sometimes, I had seen mirrors for which you can select different thickness. What are yours and what are the impact observed please ? Have you any recommandations about thickness of mirror ?
            Thanks to all makers :)

              @MichMich I’m assuming you mean the ± symbol. That’s fine, I just like correcting people. :smile:

              Just because something doesn’t do what you planned it to do doesn’t mean it’s useless.

                I just ordered a 20" acrylic mirror at dokterplexiglas.nl for only 13 euro. Do not know the quality yet.

                    Has anyone tried this place? https://www.cutplasticsheeting.co.uk/mirrored-sheeting/two-way-acrylic-mirror

                    Pretty decent price for the size I need (~£30)

                        @feuerball No not yet. They did not have it in stock. They’ll probably have it ready by the 20th of may

                                @djsunrise19 IS it really 8mm thick as the site says? Must be quite heavy. I’ve also seen mirrors which consist of 2 panes with reflective foil sandwiched in between… What type is the https://www.myspiegel.de/spionspiegel-pg-2102.html one?

                                Any pictures to share yet?

                                      Hey Guys!

                                      Do you know a place that I can find proper glass two way mirror with shipping to Hungary?
                                      In Hungary there is no mirror with high reflection, in UK and Germany I only found stores with local distribution.

                                      Thanks!

                                          @RedNax Hey, I bought a mirror from them. The quality is great, but although the mirror is a little bit heavy. It costs 75€ for a 650x430mm mirror, thats really cheap because I found only shops which offered that mirror for 120-150€.

                                          How much it weighs exactly, I don’t know because it’s already built-in.

                                            @jordi2830 @Mark Finaly received my mirror last friday. Took a long time. Mirror looked good before inserting it in the frame. It is now hanging next to my front door, but it is to dark in the hall, so there is not a real mirror effect, and can look through the mirror… I ordered the 2 way mirror, or confrontation mirror. I am tinking about taping the sides where there is no screen, to see if that improves the effect.
