You can acheive the effect of a double exposure by placing a piece of
clear glass in front of your camera at a 45 degree angle. With careful
lighting, the effect is nearly perfect.

But it causes no end of debate when you enter them in to challenges
You can also do in-camera multiple exposure by setting a very long exposure, and starting the exposure with an opaque card held in front of the lens. Remove the card momentarily each time you want to expose. Requires low light and/or small aperture, and a good steady tripod.
An alternative is to use strobes triggered multiple times. Again, you can work in a dark room and manually trigger the strobe(s) while the shutter is open for a long exposure.
I'm sure come other creative souls here can come up with additional ways to achieve in-camera muliple exposure with your basic DSLR.

That’s what I did for my first challenge entry, in the Painting with Light challenge. This was a 99 second exposure. Some of my outtakes were over 3 minutes. Yes, I know it could have been much better. ;^)
I was really disappointed when I realized that the 10D that I had just bought didn’t have a multiple exposure setting. I still don’t understand why Canon didn’t include that feature.
Have to agree with Mick there, I'd like to have that feature as well.
Maybe they justified it because a lot of people would do something like that in PS rather than in camera. Be nice to be able to do it though for challenges here ;)
One way is to use a flash close in to the subject on a long exposure in a dark room. you can either walk up and hit the flash manually and move around or stay out of the frame and use a snood. sort of a varient of painting with light.
