Does anyone know a place I can get a decent folding
(like a 3 panel) mirror that can be set on a table for practice? Im tired of proping up mirrors I want a good mirror I can see all angles on the table. Any suggestions?

Go to a tile store and buy 3 mirror tiles and use tape to turn it into a 3 way mirror......cheap and works fine.

May I suggest a cheaper alternative?
I went to the Dollar Store yesterday, and bought three magnetic locker mirrors. I got home and jammed a screwdriver into the plastic frame surrounding each one and popped the frame off, so I had three glass mirrors with nothing on them. Then, I duct taped the backs together with the mirrors in the position that I plan to use them in, to ensure that I can fold them up. The result is in a picture attached. Three bucks, a little tape, and six minutes... It ain't pretty, but it don't hafta be, right? Jay Click here to view attached image. |

There's a guy that sells them on ebay. You can get one for about $29 or less & they're very good. Just run a search under Magic for Mirrors for a few days & it'll probably pop up.

I bought mirror tiles at Walmart and used duct tape on the back to make hinges. Worked like a charm and super cheap. I think a package comes with 6 tiles. Make a second one and sell it to a lazy magician friend to cover your costs

if you have... try a video camera, it works better because you can see from the spectator's point of view.

I appreciate everyone's suggestions. I went to The Dollar Store and The Dollar Tree where I live and the only mirrors I found there were junk. I will try the 88 store soon. I want pretty good sized ones so I may
just have to buy one premade. aznviet6uy -- I have a webcam only which is no good for regular practice. I will get a good camera someday but even then I want mirrors for certain things. I have A huge standup mirror which I use alot and for those things I could replace that mirror with a camera, but other tabled stuff I need a 3 piece mirror, just my prefrence

Wow I never thought of a Dollor store or even Walmart for Mirror tiles & Duct Tape.... I always have used Video cameras. One, I can always review my performances and Technques from a Specs. perspective.
I think I need to take a drive now with $5's Re-edited: One after thought to the Mirror Tiles, Maybe add a little Clear packaging tape to edges, to keep from getting Cut, or from the mirrors from Chipping. bb
