Wow I think it looks awesome! You will have fun working the mirror for the kiddies!
Another Halloween Tree with a Magic Mirror Inside
Every year I look at all the threads and always find great ideas and inspirations from the forum members. Well, this year I decided I wanted a magic mirror and a Halloween tree. So why not combine the two?

So what do you think? Not the best of tree designs (it sure looked a lot better in my mind's eye), but it will suffice. For the third year in a row, the local elementary is going to put on a haunted house for the kiddies and I try to do my part. I have to wheel this sucker a couple of blocks to the school. Thus, It had to be sturdy, mobile and somewhat lightweight. I am not sure I will survive being inside the tree for 3 hours, but at this point, there is no turning back. I still have a little bit of detail work to do (have a few crows that want to nest). Next step is to practice my magic mirror talk. Regrettably, neither one of my three kids is cooperating and believe it or not, it is sometimes hard to practice interacting with invisible kiddies.....
I am open to any suggestions or enhancements.

Thank you for all the input and kind words, it is a bit flattering. How about this version??? I used some of the recommendations........a small led spotlight on one of the branches and since I had some Christmas lights at-hand; a few white led lights on the tree (it is a tree).
By the way, that little broken branch on the left hand side is where I plan on giving the kiddies candy or if the PTA provides the funds some finger led lights.
