No no, everyone knows you're supposed to put a mirror behind it, duh.

Funnily enough this may actually have a positive impact

People used to create tinfoil, tin can or wok based reflectors for WiFi to guide the omnidirectional signal into becoming a directional one.

I think the reflective part of some mirrors is essentially tin foil, so it probably would have a mild boosting effect in the direction of the mirror

Edit: in fact if OP's fan has a rounded metal cage on it, you could take the front half off and you've basically got a WokFi setup there, with added danger

A wire in a Pringles can makes for a fabulous directional can-tenna
