Subject: How does one make a mirror, using common household items?

Previous message quoted below.

  I searched your pages, and it only gave me a reference to a 
book which is
unavailable in Canada...any further suggestions would be greatly 
appreciated.

I recall seeing a 700 club episode a few years back (insomnia
was the reason, to be honest =)with a short segment which showed
how to deposit silver onto a surface by use of a mixture fo a
few common household chemicals...which I can't recall.

  Now I've got a couple kids to entertain, and I'd like to show
them that science IS cool, and it's NOT all pocket-protectors
and computers and guys named Melvin with horn-rimmed glasses
with tape in the middle...  =)

I have searched for quite a while before I found your site,
and I hope that I might be able to get some assistance in
exactly what chemicals or compounds I would need in order to,
basically, make a mirror at home.

Thanks in advance!
