Samm Hodges has released the first in an 8 part video entitled Illusions. The opening few minutes shows graphically how some common illusions (such as the spinning dancer and the Necker cube) actually work and is set to some great music by artists like Christian Fennesz. I’d highly recommend this interesting video.
