I guess just so long as u stay COMPLETELY still so if anything is flyin over u doesnt see the movements. I would still be concerned with reflections although its really cool i am just not to sure bout it
IF I DONT SUCEED I WILL DIE TRYING

I'd worry about the reflection coming from the water/sun on that thing. For land hunters it would work bc they are hunting things that are groudn level...not sure about the birds seeing it from up above.

So I guess the question is, who's going to hurry up and buy one and give us some feedback!

Wasn't born in Texas, but I got there as fast as I could.

cool idea.
Doubt it wil work for duck hunting though, since you mainly need overhead camo. If you angle it towards the sky, it will be a patch of blue on land. Maybe if you use natural vegetation for the overhead camo and then that to shield your lower body movements.
But it may work better than the confidence cow.

Mirrors were used out in open fields for waterfowling before most of you were born. A mirror will provide perfect camo, exact match to it's surroundings. The only thing to give the blind away is the shadow.

I don't think it does anything for ducks that can fly overhead.

............Nilo Farms had a mirror blind that they used for goose hunting years and years ago that looked to hold 3 or 4 guys....they said it was killer on cloudy days.

What will be real funny is the dude who makes a home made version Aw, shuxs! I can see it now. You're home, in between hunts, and bored. Yep, something tells me a trip to Pep-boys to get a "silver" windshield visor is in your future.
