What are mirror and disco ball characters?

Mirror characters are performers in costumes covered in small mirrored tiles, from head to toe. Under event lighting they throw reflections across the room, and up close guests see themselves in the costume, which makes for brilliant photos.

Options include mirror men, mirror ballerinas, mirror musicians and disco ball heads. They roam, pose and interact without words, and suit disco and 70s parties, winter themes, launches and any room with good lighting.

Where it works best

Launches
Reflective, futuristic walkabout.
Winter wonderland
Icy sparkle for a frosted theme.
Festivals
Night-time walkabout that catches every light.
Christmas parties
Sparkle as the lights go down.
Arrivals
A dazzling welcome at the door.
Disco and 70s parties
Mirror ball heads on the dance floor.

Tips from our team

1
Point a light at them
Mirror costumes come alive under spotlights or moving heads. Brief your lighting team.
2
Allow for visibility
Full mirror suits can limit the performer's view. We agree routes and keep walkways clear.
3
Plan for photos
Guests love selfies in a mirrored costume. Place characters near your photo area.

Usually not. They interact through movement, poses and gestures, which adds to the mystery.

Do they need special lighting?

Yes. Mirror violinists and other musicians are available. Ask us about combining music and walkabout.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can. Friday and Saturday dates in December and the summer months go first, often months ahead. Short notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.

Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.
