Abstract: We consider the problem of mirror invisibility for plane sets. Given a circle and a finite number of unit vectors (defining the directions of invisibility) such that the angles between them are commensurable with $pi$, for any $varepsilon>0$ there exists a set invisible in the chosen directions that contains the circle and is contained in its $varepsilon$-neighborhood. This set is the disjoint union of infinitely many domains with piecewise smooth boundary.
