think of a really shiney piece of silver... if you look in it you'll see your reflection pretty clear right? well if you have a really expensive and nice mirror than usually it will have polished silver covered in glass as the mirror. so basically all you have to do is have a shiney piece of metal (preferably silver) and polish it so you can see yourself... and there you go... a clear image.
