How do I turn a video transparent but glassy so that it refracts the image behind it?

You can do it in Premiere with a combination of Turbulent Displace and Blending Modes.
1 - Put the background on V1.
2 - Put the video you want to glassify on V2.
3 - Put the foreground on V3.
4 - Create your mask (or key) on the clip on V2.
5 - Add a Turbulent Displace effect, and play around with it until you get the desired effect.
6 - Adjust the Blending Mode under Opacity of the clip on V2. Multiply could work.

Thanks for your suggestion Sami.
I tried this, but unfortunately, none of the blend modes do the trick. All of them maintain some vestige of colour from the original V2 clip. What I'm seeking is total transparency that displaces and bends the background behind it, perhaps based on certain values like brightness
