mirror trick
Glass-based optical illusion
A mirror trick is a technique using mirrors to create an illusion—making objects appear, disappear, or seem to float.
Stage magicians rely on mirror tricks to deceive audiences by reflecting one surface while hiding another.
The term extends to any visual deception exploiting reflection: The infinity effect in the restaurant was just a mirror trick.
Figuratively, it can describe something that seems impressive but is merely clever misdirection.
