The first two illusions didn't work for me, but the last one definitely did.

I don't get it. Is it sorcery?
It's some form of perspective trick, I don't think all the tubes are the same height, look carefully as they are moved. Or it's sorcery.I don't get it. Is it sorcery?
And this very famous example.It looks to me like an anamorphic projection, similar to the advertising on football pitches that looks right to the camera, but totally skewed when seen from above
This is due to the Ponzo Illusion;The black hole doesn't work for me
always liked this one

Very cool.Gets more interesting as he tried to defeat the illusion...

The white circles appear to form a circular shape that rolls around the inside of the circumference of the red circle. But of course, this is an optical illusion so that couldn't actually be the case. The white circles are actually all moving in a straight lines, the timing just happens to create the illusion that they're moving in a circle.
BBC meteorologist David Braine said the "superior mirage" occurred because of "special atmospheric conditions that bend light".
He said the illusion is common in the Arctic, but can appear "very rarely" in the UK during winter.
Superior mirages occur because of the weather condition known as a temperature inversion, where cold air lies close to the sea with warmer air above it.
Since cold air is denser than warm air, it bends light towards the eyes of someone standing on the ground or on the coast, changing how a distant object appears.
Superior mirages can produce a few different types of images - here a distant ship appears to float high above its actual position, but sometimes an object below the horizon can become visible.
That appears obvious, do people report seeing red strawberries? I'm guessing some do.
