One quiz respondent added this detail- " i remember having a toy about snow white of a mirror and i still have it. I asked people to provide feedback about their responses. It has not been scrubbed by people admitting they guessed at this point. The quiz is housed on two servers so the data comes in two parts. When scrubbing the survey results to narrow down just to extremely confident people who were asked about this effect 90.7% of people remember the line as "Mirror mirror." The 2 controls showed that people who were extremely confident when answering questions about stuff from 20+ years ago were able to get it right 95% or more of the time.
The study included 7 questions suspected to have a Mandela Effect associated with them and 2 controls. When it reached over 25,000 I did a report about the results. I ran a survey that to date as received over 30k responses. The Mandela Effect is the difference between recalled memory for groups of people and recorded history. If you remember her saying "Mirror mirror" and so far that seems to be roughly 90% of people you're currently experiencing the Mandela Effect.
She no longer casts a giant spell calling the Slave in the Mirror to her by saying "Mirror mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all?" Instead she now says "Magic mirror on the wall- who is the fairest one of all?" No matter what material you use in the frame, the magic in this effect is the light-tight compartment behind the mirror and the ability to adjust the light intensity both in front of and behind it.You may be surprised to know that your memory of the Queen saying "Mirror mirror" is wrong. Rather than using silver polyester film, you might experiment with a sheet of hard plastic covered with mirrorized window tint or with scrim painted chrome or a reflective silver. Also, be careful of the placement of the mirror, as stage lights reflecting into the audience can leave some patrons seeing spots. Make sure the actor in the mirror is wired for sound. The polyester film acts like scrim, but it’s less expensive and there’s no need to paint it. The level of transparency can be controlled by adjusting the intensity of the light in front of and behind the mirror. (If necessary to enhance the effect, the lighting on the front side of the mirror can be dimmed simultaneously.) From the audience’s perspective, what was once a mirror on the wall suddenly becomes a window. At the moment of the “reveal,” the actor is illuminated brightly from behind the mirror. The actor who will magically “appear” in the mirror waits in the darkened compartment. So here’s the big trick to the magic: directly behind the mirror should be a light-tight compartment accessible from backstage. For this reason, it is important to control the light falling on the back side of the mirror. However, when backlit, the Mylar acts as a scrim, revealing whatever is behind it. The silver Mylar is highly reflective and opaque when lit from the front. Finally, apply aluminum tape along the outside of the frame, covering all the staples and helping secure the film. Then staple the film to the frame, using one staple about every four inches. Once the film is taped to the frame, check again for ripples and smooth them out as necessary.Work around the entire frame, pulling out any ripples or wrinkles in the film. Hold the film in place on the frame with masking tape. Starting in the middle and pulling from both sides, pull the edges of the film up onto the frame.Lay the frame, beveled side down, on top of the Mylar. Lay the Mylar flat on a clean, debris-free surface.To keep the outline of the frame from showing through the stretched film, bevel the edges of the frame. Make a wooden frame the desired size of your mirror, being careful to keep the frame less wide than the silver polyester film, which will be fastened on the outside of the frame.When purchasing the silver film, get the thinnest possible, just 1 millimeter thick. It can be purchased in rolls of various lengths, 48” wide. This film has a mirror-like quality on both sides, but it can be almost transparent when the lighting is right. Reflective silver polyester film is often called by the brand name Mylar. Fortunately, making your own magic mirror is easy and inexpensive, and your audience will never know the difference between the mirror of Snow White’s stepmother and the one you have hanging onstage. Since real magic mirrors are in rather short supply and undoubtedly over-budget, it’s usually better to make your own, non-magic replica. “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, what director charms them all?” The answer will be you, because your audience will love the stage magic created by this easy-to-make magic mirror.
