Quick and easy way if you work with projectors is using a video splitter (vga video splitters are really cheap) and connecting 2 projectors.
If you want the mirror effect you have to set one beamer to back projection (most beamers have an option for this in their menu).

some projectors have pass-through options for the video signal, in which case you won't even need a splitter.

Even quicker and only one projector - use a vertical mirror effect on your clips - that way you will not struggle with lining up horizontal lines (as can be seen in the linked clip from the OP) and/or having colour balance issues between two different projectors.

If pass-through is not an option something like this is your cheapest solution, http://www.sandberg.it/da-dk/product...1-to-2-passive


A nice effect is to align the projectors, and then flip one of the sides(done in the projector menu under projector position) so you get this mirro effect emanating from the center of the 2 screens.

I don't like the pass through. I had once a problem with that with a projector.

I just bought for 20€ a 8 video splitter with 3 cables (10m and 2x 4m). Very cheap
