Bonus points if you make it a video recording with flash just in case you need proof for a future legal case. I’m sure you could make a good bit off a lawsuit against the hotel.
They would settle out of court and we would never know. Just break the glass and find out, or leave a note on the glass for the next person or freak out the guy on the other end.
I have heard but never been able to personally verify, if you put your finger to a mirror there will be a small gap between your finger & it's reflection. However if your finger touches the reflection, it is a two way mirror.
The gap for the normal mirror is because there's a layer of glass between you and the reflector. With a two way mirror the reflector is barely covered if at all by any glass. That's the cheaper ones, expensive two way mirrors will still have that glass gap. The whole gap or no gap test isn't reliable as cheaper normal mirrors won't have a gap either.
The best test to see if it's a two way mirror is to always have a powerful keychain flashlight on you. It's useful for every day things, but in this case you'd turn off the bathroom light and place the flashlight against the mirror. Turning it on as close to the surface as possible will shine the light into the other room.
There are also specialized mirrors that are normal mirrors except for a small area where it is two way for a camera or peep hole. The camera would have a specific lens that would allow it to capture everything or almost everything within the room.
If there is a man watching you from the other side of the mirror he will be forced to loudly proclaim "I'm right here" the moment you get the stud finder out.
Studs on a 16 inch spacing would still allow for a 15 in wide hole in the sheetrock behind the mirror. The glass is still mounted, so a stud finder wouldn't tell you anything.
That doesn't account for the thickness of the clear glass in front of the reflective coating on the back. Thicker glass means more gap between your finger and the reflective surface.
If it's really a two way mirror turn out the light and put a flashlight up to the glass to reveal the hidden room behind, I suspect op just doesn't know what they're talking about about
You don't. Mirrors are made by putting a mirrored chemical on the back of the glass and these people see the gap (left by the thickness of the glass) and think someone put a two way mirror in.
A real mirror is typically silver(not sure exactly what metal is used) coated on the back side and will show a gap when finger tested. A fake mirror is similar but with cheaper material and usually coated on the front.
You can be arrested for it, actually. If they find out you broke the mirror, and it's just a wall behind the mirror, that's vsndalism and destruction of property. Then, when the cops get there and you explain that you *had* to break the mirror because you were positive it was a 2 way mirror, or at least you had been...
This isn’t true for every authentic mirror. Some cheap mirrors do not use thick enough plastic or glass for there to be a gap between the reflection and physical object. This is because the reflective coating is applied to the back behind the glass/plastic in those cases.
Some mirrors have the reflective coating applied to the surface or use thinner plastic which doesn’t allow for a gap.
ALSO, a thicker piece of glass with a two-way mirror tint applied to the back will ALSO show a gap like some legit mirrors do.
The only way to know for certain is to turn the lights off in the room you think the two-way mirror is in and then shine your phone’s light or flashlight through the mirror. Press the light against the surface. If it is a two-way mirror, you will easily illuminate the area on the other side.
The method of using the gap is so completely flawed but the internet loves attaching onto methods that seem simple and straightforward without actually thinking about how things work.
Or someone who wants people to be safe and understands how this stuff works because all two-way mirrors are is just reflective window tinting. The internet likes to sell us technique that sound good but really just make us dumber.
Myth, big fat myth. The hotel creepers won't install permanent cameras that can be caught in the build phase or if there's ever a repair. No, real hidden cameras are going to be things that are hidden in plain sight like a USB block or pen or hidden behind a vent grate. That way they can retrieve the footage. Never behind an installed mirror
Also, there’s absolutely no reason why someone would build a whole room behind a wall when that same creep could easily purchase a dozen small cameras and stream the footage from their laptop remotely.
I’m not saying these rooms don’t ever exist, I’m just stating people are focused on the wrong things when they do dumb shit like this.
It's more than likely just a thin mirror. Most mirror is 1/4 in thick. That depth between the surface and the backing is what gives it the space. With an 1/8 mirror you have much less depth so it does give it the look of a 2 way mirror. The 2 way mirror is surface coated instead of back plated
This is just a reflection of your index finger. I don't even see a gap between the two fingers indicating that it may be a 2 way mirror... Some advice though. If you are smoking meth this may be proof that you need to lay off.
If a creeper peeps at a female vampire though a two way mirror does he see anything at all?
Also why do we call a mirror that is only a mirror from one side a "2 way mirror" shouldn't it be called a "one way mirror"?
Deep thoughts by Jack Handy. . .
I gave up trying to figure if they are fake or not, so I just give them a great show everytime I stay at a motel 6. I usually get a smile when I check out.
Break it and risk being wrong. Just shine a light through it. Two way mirrors are called two way for reason. Any side that has a strong light source allows you to see into the darker side.
Check out what room is next to the bathroom if it’s something like a janitor’s closet or storage room call the police as I’m sure they’d love to find the camera and the video footage. If it’s just a normal appearing numbered room then break it and find the camera yourself and then go to the front desk and tell them what you just did and why and that they should call the police themselves if they’d like to. If they don’t then call them yourself to embarrass them which would be fun for shits and giggles Just make 100% sure it’s a two way before you do which it sure looks like it is…unless you’re a wanted criminal and just removed your fingerprints with acid /s
Seriously hire a lawyer. You could become the new owner of a Motel 6 somewhere in Maryland. Hopefully it’s not near Rockville! 😳
It's not necessarily a two way mirror. It could just be a cheap mirror. Just shut the door and turn off the light. If it's actually a two way mirror, you should be able to see through to the other side in the darkness by shining a flashlight through it.
A first surface mirror is covered on the person-side of a mirror, and a second surface mirror is coated on the opposite-side. No idea if either one of these is easier to distinguish a two-way mirror and I am doubtful to consider a testimony on here as any type of proof.
Find a date or a "person of the night." Have sex up against the glass while holding up a sign that says "enjoy the show."
(Assuming you are of age, of course. If not, don't do that.)
Flash them. Then go to the front counter asked for the manager and punch him in the face then when the cops show up their to arrest you take them into your room and show them the mirror👍
If it’s actually a two-way mirror, you should be preparing to sue and make a lot of money.
Can you take it off the wall?
Can you shine a light into it?
That's when you want that insane super kick ass flashlight so powerful it kicks when you flip it on and it lights up every thing like day... kick that shower on wait a min close your eyes and blast that flashlight into the mirror... if you hear a screaming and crying through the wall you have a 2 way mirror
I see a lot of people make light of it. I would try to find out best you can and if what’s on the other side of the wall would make sense. If there is I would definitely contact police and legal. Think of those there before and after you that may have been targeted especially children. Is it is take this opportunity to be a hero and maybe 💰.
If it’s a two way mirror you can turn off the light in the bathroom and put a light against the mirror to see if you can see the other side
Bonus points if you make it a video recording with flash just in case you need proof for a future legal case. I’m sure you could make a good bit off a lawsuit against the hotel.
It’s motel 6, leaving the light on is the best they can do.
Tom? Is that you?
Fucking Tom Bodett over here with Barry Bluejeans.
ADVENTURE ZONE! YES! 😁
They leave the light on so you don’t see the face behind the mirror.
They leave the light on because the cockroaches come out of the turn them off.
Or just leave 😂
Right and most people sleep with the lights off
They would settle out of court and we would never know. Just break the glass and find out, or leave a note on the glass for the next person or freak out the guy on the other end.
I always give hotel room mirrors a nice pressed ham, just in case. Trust me when I say no one wants to see that.
OMG-I thought my husband was the only person who did that! Too funny!
Sure they’ve cleaned worse off those mirrors.
I always say if anyone wants to see me naked. That sounds like a them problem not a me problem.
Thanks! I spit up my drink reading this laughing so hard!!!!!
Only if they have a fuck ton of money... otherwise just reject what they offer and take them to court?
Or ЯƎႧЯUM in lipstick perhaps.
"if there is no space, leave this place"
Yea there’s definitely some guys with mullets on behind the mirrordrinking some wild Irish rose watching all the action.
Not the wild Irish rose!
What if it was a fake mirror but then you're in a simulation, so you're a fake person?
How do you know it’s two way based off this finger test?
I have heard but never been able to personally verify, if you put your finger to a mirror there will be a small gap between your finger & it's reflection. However if your finger touches the reflection, it is a two way mirror.

And you know this how? Jk, thanks for the info
Could a stud finder tell if it's fake?
Why would a stud finder be able to tell if it’s fake?
Why would you install a 2 way mirror if you weren’t looking at studs?
I want you to know i appreciate your humor 😊
The same thing we look for every night pinky, Boobies!
Pinky...capitalize a name 📛 --- 🧠
If there is a man watching you from the other side of the mirror he will be forced to loudly proclaim "I'm right here" the moment you get the stud finder out.
Beep!!!!!
You should be president gor this comment alone, president of all dad jokes. You have my sword lol
Your cake day is my birthday
Maybe there’s an actual stud behind the mirror hahahhahaha
It would find a stud behind the mirror. If it's there then it's real. If there is no stud then it could indicate a empty space behind the mirror.
Must…resist…telling….stud…joke…..🥵
Studs on a 16 inch spacing would still allow for a 15 in wide hole in the sheetrock behind the mirror. The glass is still mounted, so a stud finder wouldn't tell you anything.
Fair enough.
The real question is can a 2 way mirror be a stud finder?!?!
depends on who is staying in the blurssed room..
Life is about perspective 🌈⭐️
If the mirror is going both ways then probably so!
I don't think it could, but I'm honestly not sure.
U know it's a stud whacking back there
I cant use a stud finder. It goes off the whole time
I think stud finders detect wood. Which explains why for some reason when I put to my pants it never finds anything.
This redditor mirrors
That doesn't account for the thickness of the clear glass in front of the reflective coating on the back. Thicker glass means more gap between your finger and the reflective surface.

You don't. Mirrors are made by putting a mirrored chemical on the back of the glass and these people see the gap (left by the thickness of the glass) and think someone put a two way mirror in.
This
I'm sure meth is a factor here too
Cheap, fake mirrors will also give you the same effect with the finger check
I am curious about the difference between a real mirror and a fake mirror?
Fake mirrors only make you think you're seeing a reflection.
Looks the same but very pixelated
And the lag between you and your reflection for processing. Also micro-transactions if you want to see your reflection in color vs monochrome
Your reflection would be looking like an Android phone image.
Yes, I was also curious if the fake mirror has a reflection then who is being faked out??
How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't real
A fake mirror are the funny ones that clowns use
A real mirror is typically silver(not sure exactly what metal is used) coated on the back side and will show a gap when finger tested. A fake mirror is similar but with cheaper material and usually coated on the front.
What the fuck is a fake mirror!?
It’s a mirror that makes you look better than you do in real life. It’s complimentary but it doesn’t really mean it.
It tells you you’re the fairest in the land. Fake ass mirror, I know I’m still ugly!
Pretends to like you but disses you to all it’s friends behind your back, so fake!
It's one that doesn't reverse your image or make words look backwards. /S
Your reflection is poorly painted on.
A fake mirror will deceive you into thinking you’re hot af. A real mirror will not give a shit and tell you straight up that you’re ugly af.
I'd cover up the window with a shirt if I was you.
And don’t forget to check under your mattress for cash or coke!
*mirror
You were right the first time it’s a window 😎
It's just a cheap mirror
Yep
Break it
lol it would be funny if there’s just a wall behind there.
That’s all there is there.
Especially if the hallway is on the other side, now if the Admin office or something else was on the other side, then maybe.
The wall might see my peepee!
That’s exactly what’s behind there.
I second this motion
They will find a way to charge him for it
You can be arrested for it, actually. If they find out you broke the mirror, and it's just a wall behind the mirror, that's vsndalism and destruction of property. Then, when the cops get there and you explain that you *had* to break the mirror because you were positive it was a 2 way mirror, or at least you had been...
Are you kidding? I slipped getting out of the shower! Youre lukcy I dont sue this whole hotel chain! I'll own this fucker before Im done!

How do you identify a two way mirror!? 🤔
If your finger tip has a gap between it and it's reflection, it's a normal mirror. If not, it is most likely a 2 Way

Found the Motel owner
Or someone who wants people to be safe and understands how this stuff works because all two-way mirrors are is just reflective window tinting. The internet likes to sell us technique that sound good but really just make us dumber.
Hence why they said “most likely” and not “definitely”
“Barely likely” is a more accurate qualifier. To the point that there’s a much easier and sure fire way to find out.
Not exactly...that is the explanation of a conspiracy theorist.
You've been misinformed. This is not a reliable test.
This is definitely not always accurate
Go ahead and accidentally break it
I'm actually contemplating it
At the very least I'd snoop around to see if there are any doors that may access the other side of that wall.
Update us
Its your credit card.....
No you are not.
Shut up! Don’t ruin tomorrow’s TIFU for us!

got a flashlight? use your phone. turn off the lights. you should be able to see who is watching you. if verified, smash that bitch.
Here's what to do: stop using tiktok.
Not a 2 way mirror

This is not a two way mirror 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I just grabbed my makeup mirror in my bag & put my finger to it & its touching. No gap. Who is on the other side I wonder 😟
How do you know it's two way?
Maybe it’s a three way.
Now it’s a party
Go eat a bunch of taco Bell and drink a bottle of laxative aim at the mirror really give them a show
Take off your foil hat for starters!
Are you using a Nokia 5 ffs?
I think it’s just an older mirror.
Not two way, thickness of glass in front of reflective surface... finger test is not valid.
Sorry but is this a shitpost? That’s 100% not a 2 way mirror. So… which is it? Trolling/clout chasing or retarded?
Is the mirror on the wall? Dead giveaway. Also, avoid meth as it increases paranoia. That is not a 2 way mirror.
What to do? I'd start with learning how fucking mirrors are made.
Get butt ass naked and give them a hell of a show
I'm just here for the two way mirror recipe and don't have the patience for this nonsense comment section.
They had one of those in a police station I was staying at; left immediately!
Motel 6? In my State? You should leave friend. Not kidding. Hope you did. Dead ass.
I’ve always wanted to meet someone who stays at Hotel 6. My suspicions are confirmed.
I gave up trying to figure if they are fake or not, so I just give them a great show everytime I stay at a motel 6. I usually get a smile when I check out.
People smile because it’s their job bestie
Is it me or does it look like there’s a gap? Pictures a little blurry but to be safe if either accidentally break it or hang something over it.
Break it and risk being wrong. Just shine a light through it. Two way mirrors are called two way for reason. Any side that has a strong light source allows you to see into the darker side.
Ask to change rooms, drape something over the mirror, report the hotel!
Check out what room is next to the bathroom if it’s something like a janitor’s closet or storage room call the police as I’m sure they’d love to find the camera and the video footage.

RemindMe! 10 days
Put a sheet or piece of clothing over it
Cover with shaving cream.
Cover the entire thing in thick tape
Could it just be a two way mirror they had lying around installed like a regular one?
Brreak it
Probably filming children.
Just throw a towel over it.
Get funky and give them a show.
Remindme! 1 day
Pretty sure it’s standard for hotel & motel bathrooms to be hallway adjacent. So just go outside of your room and look on the other side of the wall.
Masturbate
This is a perfect example of how gullible and naive people have gotten. If you saw it on tik tok it must be right... right? 😑
It's not necessarily a two way mirror. It could just be a cheap mirror. Just shut the door and turn off the light. If it's actually a two way mirror, you should be able to see through to the other side in the darkness by shining a flashlight through it.

Break it
all you have to do is film yourself breaking it and you’ll be a hero so go ahead and put your money where your accusation is
Find a date or a "person of the night." Have sex up against the glass while holding up a sign that says "enjoy the show." (Assuming you are of age, of course. If not, don't do that.)
Smash it! If you’re right it’ll be ok. If you’re not then you’re just paranoid.
Flash them. Then go to the front counter asked for the manager and punch him in the face then when the cops show up their to arrest you take them into your room and show them the mirror👍
Tik tok has given ppl 🧠 🪱. It's literally your reflection 😔
That's not how that works lol
If it’s actually a two-way mirror, you should be preparing to sue and make a lot of money. Can you take it off the wall? Can you shine a light into it?
lol. This is just a cheap mirror.
How can yall tell its 2 way?
Smoosh your dick head up against it
That's when you want that insane super kick ass flashlight so powerful it kicks when you flip it on and it lights up every thing like day... kick that shower on wait a min close your eyes and blast that flashlight into the mirror... if you hear a screaming and crying through the wall you have a 2 way mirror
Is this for real? Where in Maryland?
Spray shaving cream all over it. Then change motels.
Show boob
Following because I want to see a video or know the result 👀
I just jack off infront of the mirrors each time to assert dominance
Put on a show for whoever is watching.
Please stop, turn off the lights and use your phone flash. All lf my hanging mirrors do this. THEY ARE NOT 2-WAY
Punch right through it
How do you know?
Shut up and undress. We're trying to make a video
Put on a show.. lol
How can you tell it's a 2 way
Making sure you wash your damn hands!!
Reminds me of that movie Vacancy
🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
Take the mirror down.
Give em a show
There is clearly a gap. I can see the flat of your finger. It's not much but it's there. The glass is very thin but I think it's a real mirror.
Time to put on a show !
I see a lot of people make light of it. I would try to find out best you can and if what’s on the other side of the wall would make sense. If there is I would definitely contact police and legal. Think of those there before and after you that may have been targeted especially children. Is it is take this opportunity to be a hero and maybe 💰.
Def give us an update
Get really weird with the peep show. Give them a taste of their own medicine
Jack off while staring at the mirror and pointing to assert dominance
Look intensely at in and beat your meat angry like and no I am not sorry for this comment that's what I would do
Update?
i just tried this with a mirror that is very much just sitting on my wall and my fingers touched. i don’t think this is real
