Question 1

Since this mirror is different and does not reverse right and left,  can my vampire friends see their image with this mirror?

Accepted Answer

Really? Is this a joke? Obviously vampires still won't see their reflection because they have no soul after they died as a human and you need both body and soul to be seen in a mirror, left/right reversal has nothing to do with it. Nice try.

Question 2

is it worth $200

Accepted Answer

As a physical product, it's probably a bit pricey. But it well constructed and not a high volume seller. It's a geek's gimmick, so whether it's worth $200, depends on your geekiness level and the number of your geeky friends who will admire and appreciate it. If you're deciding between groceries and this, buy the groceries...otherwise, it's pretty cool in principle!

Question 3

Does this mirror last a long time? Will the mirrors get jostled and moved out of alignment?

Accepted Answer

From the mfr/creator:  The True Mirror will last for years as long as its taken care of, especially cleaning it carefully, because the special optical quality front surface mirror can scratch if there is grit in the cleaning tissue.  Adjustments are needed when temperature swings a lot, usually i find mine requires a 1/4 turn of the knob every 2-3 weeks.  The idea is that when the two mirrors are at exactly 90 degrees, you will see a seamless, perfect reflection of yourself.  However, if it's off slightly, you will notice it more at a distance than up close.  in regards to the amazing revelation part - a lot of times we tend to stare at ourselves in mirrors because long ago as kids we unconsciously realized that our expressions don't look and feel natural, so we stopped doing them.  If you stare into the True Mirror without expression, its not going to be that different than backwards flat mirrors.  But if you express, if you feel, if you show up to yourself as you do to others, it can be strikingly different, and your response can likewise be quite different than the flat, expressionless interaction you always have in mirrors.  Be yourself to see yourself is the best advice I can offer.  We are amazing expressive beings, and the True Mirror can finally reflect that to ourselves.  Thanks for your comments!

Question 4

Lets end this ongoing debate. Do you look more like the you you see in your picture/camera or like the you you see in your mirror?

Accepted Answer

The real key is that the way you "look" is tied to the way you "are"...in other words, how you actually animate your face is the way you look to others.  You don't stare at other people, you communicate.  And when we are particularly expressive, say with our genuine smile and laughter, the way we look in that moment can be significantly different than when we look in reversing mirrors...because those expressions with a lot of light in them simply don't reflect the *reason* for why we are expressing.  The eyes dont message properly and the expression fades.  As a result, within 5 seconds almost everyone is simply staring back at themselves in mirrors.

In the True MIrror, expressions communicate properly, and thus they actually stay present and even grow - especially the ones with light in them, because that's what we do with others - that light is contagious!  See social media channels for hundreds of examples of how amazing this is.  We can actually see and interact with ourselves as the true human "beings" that we are, not just the bodies and non-expressive faces that show up in reversing mirrors.

The ultimate goal of the True MIrror is to give you the chance to see and know the person you are, in the moment. 
 To understand what others are seeing when they know you (and what they like and love about you as well), and to give you a valid alternative to the somewhat warped self-understanding that you have built from seeing yourself reversed every day since childhood.  We are so much more than what mirrors are showing us, its worth getting to know what that is.
