It's possible to do this but you'll need to work with it a bit.
Take a small box as big as the screen of the tv.
Get a second box the size of the whole tv.
Use the magnifying lense out of the projector.(In the overhead box with
the little mirrors.)
Get 2 boxes.One will cover the whole tv and another will fit inside of it as a focasing sled.Cut a Whole the size of the lense in the smallest box.Place the lense in it and glue it good.
THis will work but not unless the tv is upside down and the room is dark.Make sure light only escapes through that little hole and it helps to paint the inside of the boxes black.
It should magnify up to 50 or 60 inches.The Image will be Mirrored but you can look around to find out about the "Mirror Corection" method.
