<<MIRRORS
   I don't know what the OED has now.  The only cite is Agatha Christie's
THEY DO IT WITH MIRRORS (1952).
   A story in THIS WEEK magazine, NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE, 27 October
1940, pg. 7, is:
_DONE WITH MIRRORS_>>

Which is older for sleight of hand, done-with-mirrors or
smoke-and-mirrors?
