after you set up the mirrors, place a lazing material in between them and drill a little hole in one of the mirrors, you'll get a nice coherent laser.

Assuming the mirrors are parallel and perpendicular to the line connecting their edges, whatever image might be on their surface will be reflected back and forth, each successively reflected image getting a bit smaller and dimmer. You'd see the mirror, in a mirror, in a mirror, in a mirror, in a mirror... ad infinitum, or very nearly so.
MUCH more fun if the mirrors are set up to form an equilateral triangle; that's the core trick in a kaleidoscope...

It looks cool. The image appears to repeat infinitely. Try it with a hand mirror and bathroom mirror. Hold the hand mirror until you see the multiple images repeating. between the hand mirror and bathroom mirror.
The bigger the mirrors - the better the illusion.

Well if one is smaller than the other, it will look like a bunch of mirrors in a mirror. If they were the same size, you would see just a mirror.

I assume you are talking about them facing each other? And fairly close together?
Then they will reflect one another if you have them close enough so that nothing else is visible to them.
If you have them facing away from each other, it will look as if you made a mistake.
