Whoa
I'd like to get this working too if I can because this is another approach I'm unfamiliar with.
Could you post a screenshot of the layers palette please? I've tried to follow your instructions here but no luck so far.
Ok, I got it working. Thanks for the pointers, this is another new thing I've learned tonight.

i think this is similar to mine, but where there's a hole in the mirror rather than a layer reveal
this should work with LS18's mirror, which i think, has no glass.
will have to play with this

I just got it working, at least a version of it...
it's quite a different approach.
It wouldn't work for me until I reduced the fill opacity of the circle layer (the one set to deep knockout) to 0.

Oh and one more detail...
I've used a mask here to block out the glass on the magnifying glass layer.
In actual fact, the magnifying glass source I used had some light reflections and frame shadows on the glass, so if instead of using a black mask you use a grey one, it leaves some of the glass features intact as an overlay.
Here's the magnifying glass I used so you can see what I mean about the glass

looks nice, but what did it look like to start with?
I'll have a play with this method later.
going back to mine, you can create a copy of the mirror, change the transparency and place it over the top, if you want to retain reflections, or distortions that the glass may create
