You said you wanted make a Magnifying Glass Property, but I don't know what program you using.

If you use 3d max, let's use raytrace material.
- Press M to open Material Editer
- Choose Get Material>Raytrace
- Set transparency to white
- Adjust Index of Refr

A nice method I saw once was to use a camera attached to the underside of the magnifing glass object, tha camera must have a nice zoom, then you map the output of the camera to the lens and you´re done. it doesn´t give you the correct optical simulation of a raytraced material but it´s much easier on your rendering times!

About this tut: It`s in 3d Studio Max, it`s really old, but about making the whole magnifying glass.
