A jewel thief left a mocking note at a crime scene written entirely in mirror-writing. Detective Holmes held the paper up to a bathroom mirror to read the message: 'You will never catch me.' Local officers praised his cleverness, but Holmes dismissed them, saying he didn't need the mirror at all to read it. How could Holmes read it instantly?
Read it from the back
Mirror-writing can be read easily simply by looking at the back of the translucent paper against the light.
