Mylar is silver and reflective. I've also found some thin flexible, cut-able mirrors at a Japanese dollar store called "Daiso." It probably would help to know what your plan is in order to know if I have given you useful advice here. That said, I've never actually used either of these items to create mirror cards (heck... I've never made any mirror cards, period), so take this for what it's worth.

Do you need a perfect mirror or just a kind of silver foil that reflects poorly your image? If it is the latest tou can find rolls of adhesive "silver" paper looking like the tapes that are used to cover school books.
I have a roll of it, way too big for me. You can drop me a PM if you want.

I sell adhevise mirror labels that are custom made for Poker sized playing cards. You will find them at http://www.diamond-jim.com/mirrors

They were created to accompany my DVD entitled MIRRORS that has several routines using mirrors and playing cards.

Hope this helps.

All good things,
