Abstract content
The MAGIC Collaboration is building a clone, MAGIC II, of the current MAGIC Telescope. MAGIC II will be built at 85 m of distance from MAGIC I, and will also feature a huge reflecting surface of ~240 m^2 of area. Unlike the former telescope, the mirrors for the new one are lighter and larger, being square of 1 m of side and weighting 10÷12 kg. For the development and production of the new mirrors, two different techniques, both reliable and affordable in price, were tested. We present a description of these two techniques and the performance of the resulting mirrors.
