This hoe is your hoe, this hoe is my hoe
From the allotment, to the atomic garden
From the atomic robin, to the can of relentless

I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This hoe was made for you and me
This hoe is your hoe, this hoe is my hoe
From the allotment, to the atomic garden

From the allotment, to the atomic garden
From the atomic robin, to the can of relentless
This hoe was made for you and me
As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!
This hoe is your hoe, this hoe is my hoe
From the allotment, to the atomic garden

Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this hoe's still made for you and me.

I've never used those, or masking layers, and only used a gradient layer one time. I need to bone up on what those accomplish. I can always find a way to do what I want, but I'm sure there are faster ways to do certain things.

but the problem with a regular mask is that you cannot link a layer to another layer's mask without also linking to the other layer.
So, when you move the first layer, you also move the content of the second layer. It will reveal what's behind it, but always the same portion of what's behind it, which is not what he wants to do here.

here's the problem, he wants the freebase part of the pic to appear in the magnifying glass, so you have to link the mask in the glass part of that layer to the mask in the freebase layer without having it move freebase around. Try it and you'll see what the problem is. Either that or you'll solve it.
To put it clearer... the problem is that the content and mask of one layer has to link to the mask, but not the content, of a second layer.

use the lasso tool on the mirror glass cut that out and save it to a new layer and use that as the "reveal" on the clipping mask.

I noticed you said above "when you move the mirror, you have to select the glass as well, using shift key, so both layers move at the same time"
To simplify it you can just link those two layers (select them both then click the chain button at the bottom of the layers palette) then they'll always move together.

then apply what i've learned. I often forget a couple days later, because i'm a div, so i just go back and have another look.

it uses a combo of the gradient tool and a masking layer. It allows you ways to fade one "image" into another, in much the same way that gradients let you fade from one color or shade to another. It may do other things as well.

and can use Layer Styles to create the lens part of the magnifying glass as a "Knockout Layer" set to 'deep' (click the fx button and click Blending Options: Advanced Blending: Knockout [dropdown menu] : 'Deep'). The old maid image woud have to within the magnifying glass group below the lens layer and the group's Blending Mode should be set to 'Normal' rather than the default 'Pass Through' this will punch a hole (same shape as your lens layer) through all layers to the background image : The fill opcaity of your lens layer should be lowered the lower it is the more of the background image is reveal good if you want to keep some of the lens' detail.

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.

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

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

(No I didn't mean Elvis!)

you can achieve this effect:

by painting the mirror 100% black (preferably not sloppily),
adding a layer mask to the mirror layer, showing everything outside/behind the mirror.
Now you import the two layers you want to use, placing them like this:

Note that the two top layers are set to be "clipping masks".
Finally, select the mirror layer and click the fx button on the layers palette, clicking "Blending options".

Then change "Knockout" to deep, and the left handle of "Blend if" for "This layer" to something 2-ish.
Now you can move the mirror layer, revealing the flanbase below...
