I am looking for ideas for a trifold mirror because I cant find any in my small town
I am thinking of taking a card board trifold and putting some mirrors from small handheld mirrors |

Are you wanting to make one for practicing close-up? These used to be somewhat common for magicians. You can probably just take three equal size pieces of mirror, and use duct tape or gaffer's tape for hinges. If you wanted extra support, make it from cardboard, mat board, or thin plywood. You should be able to use the tape hinges on those, as well. then just stick the mirrors to the boards.
Call any glass house that carries mirror and they can cut the pieces to the size you want.

Just take mirror sections (the biggest you can afford) and use thick duct tape to connect them. Use the thickest mirror material you can, as I find the wobble of cheap mirror glass to be distracting.

Go to your local Home Depot or other such place for home improvements. They have 12"x12" mirrors used for tiling walls. These also have self-adhesive backs. Probably cheaper than having a glass house cut the mirrors for you.
Magic is a vanishing art.
