i was being a little facetious. but there was no mention of any heat retarding films. so i'm not ruling it out.

for those who may think you can't start a fire with a mirror- you're wrooooong

I'm not saying it's outside the realm of possibility (I've seen that mythbusters too), but it takes some ideal circumstance.

Wouldn't the heat retarding film take away from the illusion?

What if a bird smacks into the mirror and cracks it? Then it looks like an acid trip.

That would have to be cleaned almost daily to maintain the effect.
Sounds like a PITA to me.

i'd imagine if they can put the bird retardant film on it and it keeps the illusion they could find some way to absorb some light or spread out the focus of the glare
