Practicing in Front of a Mirror
Hey everyone!
I think it's important to practice in front of a mirror to minimize angles on some moves. Do any of you have a type of mirror that covers the front and sides? A portable one, of course.
Cheers,

I have a large, flat mirror, a triptych like the one you showed, which I use for table work. For standing effects, I use a full-length one from my bedroom.
I usually use them for practicing sleights, not for rehearsing routines. For my routines, I prefer to record myself, because I have this deeply ingrained habit of not looking where I'm doing the move. So, I can't really tell if I've executed it well if I'm just looking in a mirror. However, when I watch the recording, I can get a much better look.
The tri-fold mat is practical because it doubles as a mat, it's unbreakable, and very portable; however, it's a bit small. You're almost better off with a plain mirror from a hardware store and just changing your angle when working on a move.
Hey there!
I think your best bet is to video yourself.
You can set up your camera or phone from multiple angles, and you won't have to spend a dime.
But if you're still set on mirrors, check
on AliExpress…
Good luck!
I found it. Not sure if there's a better one.

Here's a video from Armando de Miguel; he can explain things better than I can. Personally, I often use the bathroom mirror (my family is already used to it) because it's almost full-length.
