Don't know why or how the same question got asked twice in 10 days, but here you go: How to design sleek magnifying glass effects like these?

Matthew gave an adequate answer, but didn't mention how to do the layer effects.

Open an image.
Select all and Copy it.
Create a new layer and Paste the copy.
Shrink the first layer to the appropriate size.
Use a shape tool (I'm away from my PS install at the moment so forgive my imprecision) to draw a circle around the area of interest in the second layer.
Use the Magic Wand to select everything outside of the circle and delete it.
Move the second layer around so that the circled area is over the appropriate part of the first layer.
Resize the canvas to fit the image.
