hinges for flush/secret doors?

hi...

i was watching this show the other day where they built in these secret doors
in a cabinet and the doors were flush with the frame. Does anyone know what
these hinges are called that can do this and where to get them? I think they
said they were "european hinges" but am not quite sure. anyone know?

thanks...

Kitchen cup style hinges? That's what I'm using now for a secret
compartment. Together with a Magnetic Touch Latch they can be opened by
pushing them a couple of millimeteers.

Bothe can be gotten at Lee Valley and probably also at Home Depot.
