  Disco ball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A disco ball, mirror ball, or ball mirror is a roughly spherical structure that reflects light directed at it in many directions, producing a complicated and hard-to-anticipate display.
The patterns of scattered light from a disco ball are difficult to recreate by other means, but the decline in popularity of disco in the United States, and the availability of electronics of cheaper and far more flexible lighting systems, have since turned disco balls into rarer sights.
Miniature disco balls are sold as novelties and used for a number of decorative purposes, including dangling from the rear-view mirror of an automobile.

 Who invented the disco ball? | Ask MetaFilter
by the end of the 20th century, the name "disco ball" had largely eclipsed the earlier names that had been applied to, for example, the one that can be seen in the 1942 movie Casablanca.
Before the war it was discovered that if you shine a light on a ball covered with mirrors that you get one beam off every mirror.

 Halfbakery: Inflatable Disco Ball
The Inflatable Disco Ball is essentially a fl beachball, covered with small mylar squares (mylar, as you probably already know, is that silver material sometimes used for balloons).
The Inflatable Disco Ball won't perform quite as well as the real thing, but the much lower cost, shatterproof construction, and ease of portability and storage will make it an attractive option for the DJ, college student, or recreational drug user.
the reason mirror balls use little mirrors is that they are perfectly flat and reflect the pinspot light that is aimed at them perfectly in all directions.
