Chinese Magic Mirror
Shine a bright, collimated light onto the front surface of the mirror - sunlight works brilliantly - and the pattern on the back of the mirror will appear, projected on the wall or on any blank screen, and you will see the image of the Chinese Signs of the Zodiac.
How is this possible? One theory says that the metal has somehow become transparent, so that the images on the back magically pass through the thickness of the mirror, and are projected from the front, mirrored side. But we don't believe that!!
If you are using sunlight, then you get the picture when you project the image onto a surface that is not in direct sunlight. If you are using an artificial light source, it should be a collimated beam. An LED torch that has a single, very bright LED will also work. You will find the image greatly improved if you remove the reflector around the bulb, so that the light is coming from as small a source as possible.

The mirror comes in a woven 'Sea Wave' silk bag. These come in many different colours and patterns, and we cannot guarantee what colour bag you will get.
