    I found watching the base spinning around helped work out what's going on, but still a very effective illusion.

    Re: This will mess up your brain...

    The commentary is very helpful. Concentrate on the bottom or the top rung of the frame and you can see what's happening. Great illusion tho.

    On the first night of my recent resort holiday an illusionist/magician performed for us after dinner. I enjoyed the show, but being a geek/ drunken rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish I couldn't resist going up, shaking the guy's hand and asking him how he'd put his glamorous assistant in a box, then pulled all the drawers out and stuck a couple of swords in.

    His reply? "The first time I put her in there she really really didn't like it". And sure enough, looking at the box up close, she only had to bend her back a bit and assume a bodyshape approximating a Z. But from 30ft away it looked quite impossible.

    The card tricks I don't want to know about. Magic shows can be very cool, and it's not always wise to spoil them through excessive curiosity.

    Google can find most card tricks. However magicians need to come up with more amazing feats of wonder to impress now. Wasn't there one who went round showing how all the tricks were done? It is very clever. I am always intrigued as to how one can be tricked by an illusion.

    But to take the David Blaine route is just a sign of mental instability.

    I think the reason some of us can't see it is that it's not a particularly good model, and the background is not optimum - it just looks like a cardboard trapezoid that someone has stuck on a turntable to me.

    Now this is an optical illusion:
