Mirrors have always been the best way to find good matches. My twist is to use acrylic mirrors and run a saw it half way up near the ends of two pieces. Then I can interlock them to view matches. This allows me to step back, not having to hold mirrors and makes it easier to move the mirrors around.
The white āLā shaped paper delineates the size of the required match.
