A smooth piece of aluminum foil can be seen in your reflection but why not the crumpled piece?
Take a makeup mirror, and look at yourself in the mirror. Then, rotate that mirror by about 10 degrees. What do you see happen to the image in the mirror? Now, take a ball of foil and examine its surface closely. The light reflects off each small area in a different direction. As with a mirror, the light rays are reflected back in parallel from the polished side of aluminum foil. But when it is crumpled, the rays reflect in many directions from the angular facets.
