Ok so let's call the top mirror Mirror A, and the bottom mirror mirror B. As you can see, the focal point for Mirror A is on the middle of Mirror B and vice versa. so when the light rays come in, they are rebounded by Mirror B to Mirror A, come back parallel to Mirror B then, because of the laws of ray diagrams, are rebounded to the focus of Mirror B, which is on the point Mirror A where you think you see the image. This creates the "mirage"
