We discuss the possibility of the transition magnetic moments (TMM) between the neutron n and mirror neutron n', its hypothetical sterile twin from parallel particle "mirror" sector. The neutron can be spontaneously converted into mirror neutron via these TMM's (in addition to the more conventional transition channel due to n-n' mass mixing) interacting with the magnetic field B as well as with mirror magnetic field B'. We derive analytic formula for the average probability of n-n' oscillation and consider possible manifestations of the neutron TMM effects. In particular, we discuss potential role of these effects in the neutron lifetime measurement experiments leading us to new, testable predictions.
