...a two-way mirror. Would you be able to look in, and see infinity?

My friend's bathroom is set up like this. I do the can-can like the Rockettes--though 'we' are much more in sync.
As you look deeper into the mirror...the images shift slightly...hence the success of my can-can solo.
As for seeing infinity...the inherent limitation of sight prevents one from seeing any more than 100 images deep. But in theory...Yes!

It is not necessary to have a two-way mirror. Check into a hotel where they have bathroom mirrors oriented at an angle. First, you will see yourself reflected out to infinity. The next thing you will see is yourself as a mirror image. Any thing that you do, your mirror image will do in the opposite sense. You will see how other people see the back of your head.

True story!
Well, kind of.
Remember that your eye would absorb some light, so you couldn't really see to infinity. (Your head would be in the way).
Ignoring that. Sure, you can see to infinity.
