INSTRUCTIONS: Position something (text, an image, an object, a combination of the above, or something else entirely) so that it requires a mirror to be understood. Make sure that one is available.
I'm not usually a fan of completions of this task. "Requires" is rather a high bar, and most fall far short.
This comes close. The ready forward mapping makes it much harder to see the reversed text. For me, at least, it requires a letter-by-letter transcription, with some double checking to see if you've got the letters the right way around to begin with.
And it's quite clever.
