Lens reflector

I was reading a good book on digital cameras and it mentioned holding a
mirror up to the lens to take shots of subjects while they (or whatever)
were unaware of the shot being taken. I remember years ago of seeing a 45
degree mirror advertised for that very purpose. Are these things still on
the market for say a 58mm filter thread?

Needs to be a "first surface" mirror.
