So, an interesting trick that many do for giggles is to dim a room with a mirror in it, and stare into the reflection's eyes for an extended period. From a psychological perspective, the dimness of the room, paired with an odd hitch in human facial recognition will cause you to see an unfamiliar face...but in magic, mirrors are powerful things, according to a friend of mine. So, I'm inclined to wonder if perhaps, there is more to this than a simple error in facial recognition...
