    Focal point of image in magnifying glass

    I have been given a statement and have to decide if it is true or false and then justify my answer. I have already established that this statement is false by the fact that a magnifying glass creates a 'virtual image' not a 'real' one but i am having trouble working out what else is false...

    Spoon Optics-Virtual Inverted image with a concave mirror

    When you look at a spoon, like at a mirror, the image of yourself appears to be on the other side of the mirror/spoon, where light does not go! So the image must be virtual! So tell me, since a concave mirror must produce a real inverted image when you are far from the focal point...
