After you've inserted your mirrors, you can finish up by covering the edges of the mirrors in more tape. You don't want to accidentally cut yourself while spying and blow your cover do you? I thought not.

How It Works: Okay, to use your new spying periscope, it is advised that you are first hiding behind something, like a corner, or under a window sill. Place the periscope so that one mirror is eye level with you and you can look through it. Turn the other end, with the mirror facing out, towards what you want to spy on. If you are around a corner, you have to stick it out from around that corner. If you are under a window sill, you have to stick it up over that window sill. After you've done this, you will be able to look through the mirror that is eye level with you and see everything happening through the other mirror.

I hope you have enjoyed this instructable, and happy spying! I love feedback in the comments section, and positive ratings are appreciated!

I enjoy visiting the dump to look at, and take, all the free stuff people throw away. It's a lot of fun. I like Xbox live cus it's the best.
