ABSTRACT:
A flexible mirror assembly that may be bent into various complex configurations by the user, thus creating numerous distorted images for amusement purposes. The mirror assembly has a laminated construction comprising a first reflective layer formed of a metallic film coated on a carrier material, a second intermediate layer formed of a thin plastic sheet for stiffening the first layer, and a third backing layer formed of a foam material for providing structural support to the assembly while being sufficiently flexible to permit bending thereof about plural axes. The mirror assembly may be mounted in a flexible frame.
