Mirror Can Double Objects

Do you know that mirror can double objects unlimitedly? How can it be? To know further, why don't do the following experiment.

Tool and materials that you needs:

cellophane

tape

marbles flat mirrors

The steps:

1. Put the cellophane tape, the marble, and two flat mirrors on the table.
2. Put the two mirrors together using the cellophane tape, so that they form a 90 derajat. Method is like this, you can use the corner of a thick book, put the mirrors in the book corner, then put both mirrors together using the cellophane tape. Now take a look at the combination mirror. How many mirrors that you see? Look in the mirror. Without touching it. Can the mirrors also produce objects' reflection in each of the visible mirror?
3. Why don't you put a marbel in the middle of both mirrors. How many marbels that are produced by both mirror? What will happen if the combination mirrors that you combine before, you change its angle bigger or smaller?

Explanation for you:

You will see every mirror will produce other reflections of mirror. When a marble is put in the midle of both mirrors, so the marble will be doubled. If the angle is changed bigger, the reflections of the marbles will become less. But if the angle is changed smaller, the reflections of the marbles will become more.
