I had once owned this double wide out in the country... and i redid the bathroom...around the garden tub was mirrors reaching from the tub to up until the cieling. When removed all these mirrors that went together to appear as one...i found that they where paper thin and had been stuck to the wall via glue strips.
i dont know where you can find this or what it is called...but i would be interested if anyone knows.
My ideas is to design a wall out of plywood that is tiltable on many different axis's.... i am trying to think up a few ways to do it includeing motorizing it ........I figure if i could use a mirror to relflect it directly into my retna...literaly....wouldnt that be using 99.9% of the projected light?

I'm not sure but I think the only thing you will see is the reflection of the projector itself on the screen, like if you were standing in front of the screen and looking directly at the projector. Think of it this way, you need to "stop" the light's path in order to see "something" otherwise the light will reflect to the oposite wall, you get an out of focus image on the wall behind the projector along its shadow.
Here's a representation of what will happen :

What if you applied some of that fake frost spray paint, the stuff that makes glass opaque, I wonder if that would make a mirror into a nice screen.

best way to test that would be to get a mirror, and spray it...
or get a mirror and make it fs mirror, then spray it.
sounds a lot like the mississippi man method though
