Magic Mirror

The Magic Mirror is a recurring magical item found in the legend of Snow White and is the means by which the Evil Queen ensures that she alone is the "fairest in the land" - asking it daily the question of "who is the fairest of them all?", in fact it is only when the Magic Mirror tells the Queen that Snow White surpasses her in fairness that she plans on having her killed.

In the Disney version of the tale the Magic Mirror is even given a life of its own in the form of a sinister face, though in reality the Magic Mirror is more of an amoral force than a true servant of the Queen.
