Is there any way to achieve this effect in poser?

I'm trying to make a kid looking behind a snow globe and half his face is magnified. I know it has something to do with the fresnel- refraction value.

All of my efforts have ended up with an upside down reflection of other objects in the scene.

Any help would be appreciated :)

IIRC, the upside down reflection is due to a scientific principle I can't exactly remember the name of right now. Refraction? Anyway, the light is passing through two lenses which would be both sides of the bowl whichturns it upside down. Why you don't notice this effect in nature is because  of a third lens, located on the back of your eye, which flips everything right side up again. It's not doing it in your render because that actual light never reaches your eye. So all you see is an upside down picture.
