Wow Eric! you did it again.
I'd say that you used a extra small camera (look like is still there looking between your fingers) but is just a guess

Easy trick. As usual amazing VR from you.
You have a tripod with an horizontal pole behind you. The pole is actually leaning on your shoulder and you may have rotated the camera vertically. 3 or maybe only 2 shots with the shaved 10,5mm.
If you cheat just 1 cm with the nodalpoint the only thing you will get is a hole which is a couple of centimeters, actually only the diameter of the pole. I would have used one of my Foba tubes which is perfect for this kind of VR.
You can see the stitching error on the shoulder where the hole is.

Amazing Eric! 
Hans may be right about how you did it...  Looking straight down, at the water tap, I see a long black reflection that might come from the horizontal pole. Also, on the wall above the bathtub, right above the Eric's hand is a strange reflection... :P Dorin, what Eric might keep hidden in his right hand, could be a remote trigger for the camera.
And... is that an iPhone?!?! Arrgh... I want one!

Yes Andrei that must be the trigger, I thought that is a cellphone camera used for some completion, as usual Eric lives the panos un-PhotoShop-ed to gives us some hints, like shadow (that with bike), reflexions (in this one), parallax (that with flying under Tower), very kind from his part.

In fact, when you are in front and close of the mirror, the camera, the head and the tripod are very LARGE at least in one pict. I didn't find "the" solution but just one idea : moving my body 50 cm to the left + a ten minutes job in Photoshop to redraw the missing parts and to f**k the pallax with the Warp tools. Done !
If someone knows an other way to do that or a cool exemple with mirrors & reflexions...?
Dorin : Yes, it's a Nikon IR remote control in my hand. Hans : Perhaps it could be a good solution.
Ok ! The same VR in a very nice bathroom with a blonde sexy girl with big tits can be a bit more interresting !
[ Oups, sorry ! ]

Hmmm... Eric I was sure that a extra cellphone camera in your hand will be enough to patch the camera reflexion in panorama But I didn't tried I only thought about. If I suppose to try another version I'll ask my wife to pose if you said that it will be more interesting in that way, she is red headed now but can become easily blonde, But she will never agree unless I change some furniture in our bath with some new
Jokes aside, your VR are special becouse make us think and I thank you for that!
