- That reminds me of like that old '90s commercial.
- Oh my God, Fushigi?
- It's a Fushigi! (laughs) - It's a Fushigi!
- (React) Today, we'll be doing
a Try Not To Get Confused: Optical Illusions.
- (both) Ooh! (laughs)
- Sick! - Mmm!
- I'm gonna be so good at this.
- Ooh, those are always my favorites. - I love these.
- ♪ She's with you ♪
♪ Do you get deja vu ♪ ♪ When she's with you ♪
- That's so cool!
It's not moving though, it's the people that are moving.
- I know, it's the people who are moving
that's making it look like it's moving, that is so cool!
- (Darius) That is so dope.
- Keep in mind, you only get this effect
if there's enough people.
- They just be walking, but you can't see their feet.
- Like an escalator.
- Yeah, I didn't think the building was moving.
- (React) Is the building moving around?
- No, but it looks like it is, because they're creating motion.
Boom! - Let's go!
'Cause of the fact that the people were moving,
it makes it look like the building itself is actually spiraling.
It's not.
- I'm the only one that's spiraling.
- Oh, that one!
- The reflection that's being casted into the mirror
turns into a clear circle, because it's a point.
- Okay, so I'm assuming it's like layered, like that, and like that.
(buzzer rings)
- It's a particular optical illusion
that has everything to do with angles.
They do a lot of art
where dependent on where it is that you look at it,
it turns into a different image.
- It's either a heart if you're seeing it from the correct side,
but then if it's like on the more rounded side,
it looks like a circle?
- (React) That is correct, I'll give you that.
- So what I'm assuming is that one side has a pointed,
and the other side is rounded,
so if you look at it one way, it looks round,
and if you look at it the other way, it looks like a heart.
- (React) I'll give you that. (Izzy grunts)
So did you guys get confused?
- No.
I mean, I feel like I did a good job of explaining what was going on.
- I'm still confused. (laughs) (buzzer rings)
- Confused, no.
- It's like when you take a picture of yourself,
and then someone else takes a picture of you,
and it's like so... - (laughs) So different.
- (narrator) Okay, let's try it.
I think this might work. - Oh [censored].
- (narrator) Hang on a second.
- These are amazing.
- (narrator) Oh, good dog is on his way down now.
- Cute.
- (narrator) Oh dear God no. - Oh.
- Like when it comes to perspective art,
this is impressive. - (Haley) Yeah.
- And you just draw it in like an angle.
- If you're gonna make something,
if you want to make something look like it's farther away,
you draw it smaller.
- It's all like perspective.
The person who's the closest in a photo looks the biggest.
- The entire thing is flat.
It's all the matter of perspective.
- The most important factors to knowing how to pull this off
is knowing your shapes.
Bigger is closer, and something smaller is farther down.
- (narrator) This is called a Mova Globe.
It uses light and Earth's magnetic field to rotate,
and it feels like you're holding the entire Earth.
Because it's literally powered by light,
you can just set it somewhere, and it'll spin like that all day.
It's really trippy when you hold it, because when you move it,
it just stays in one place.
Or when you set it down somewhere, and it rolls,
it looks like it's not even rolling. - That's sick.
- ♪ (Izzy hums) ♪
- That reminds me of like that old '90s commercial,
where they had the ball. - Oh my God, Fushigi?
- It's a Fushigi! (laughs) - It's a Fushigi!
- Remember the Fushigi? - Fushigi!
- Yeah, the inside portion of it is the thing that is not moving.
- I don't get it.
This doesn't make sense to me. (buzzer rings)
(both mumbling)
- It said it's spinning by light, and using magnetic field to rotate?
(laughs) It's two different things!
- (React) Oh, it's definitely that.
(crickets chirping)
(buzzer rings)
- I guess I am kinda confused,
because I don't know how it would look that way,
with him setting it down and then rolling.
- I would say yeah, that was pretty confusing.
- (Zaria) The end part. (buzzer rings)
- (narrator) So you're an artist. - (man) Yeah.
- (narrator) Are you good at it?
- (Haley) Aw, so... - Yo!
- Yeah, that's just about perspective. That's just really impressive.
- I love museums.
- Perspective. (laughs)
- You look at it one way, it's thin,
and then when you look to the side that thickness is different.
- (Izzy) Mm-hmm!
- Again, matter of perspective.
As soon as you look at it from a different angle,
it's almost invisible.
- There's a reason why it's in a museum, you know?
I can't do that.
- Is this scary? - Yeah, it's giving spooky.
♪ (ominous music) ♪
- I love the sound.
- Nope, now you got me! (buzzer rings)
- That was edited! That was edited!
- Was it? (buzzer rings)
- Mm-mm. Editing.
- Yeah, editing would make sense.
- I thought I had it all figured out at the beginning.
It's like a Disneyland situation,
where the platform like lowers quickly, you know,
and then he just like steps on. (buzzer rings)
- Yes, also, how dangerous?
- I'm always like that person that watches videos,
and I'm like (smacks lips) that's edited, dude.
[Censored].
(laughs)
(bread squelches)
- Excuse me? (laughs)
- Gross.
- Oh, that's CGI. - Okay, that's definitely editing.
- I love these ones.
I don't know if I love 'em, actually.
- Oh, that just made me uncomfy to watch, that was weird.
- (React) So Haley, how was that done?
- Was it a real bread to start?
- It was probably just that they took...
- (React) Haley, you look so confused, I'm taking a point away from you.
- (laughs) Fair! (buzzer rings)
- If that was a real texture, substance,
no one but God could stop me from chewing on it.
- It's like mochi!
(both chewing)
- (narrator) My hole went viral many times.
- Oh. - Ooh.
- (narrator) This is a throwback to the first time I tried to fix it.
- Oh!
- (narrator) The hammer was my favorite,
and the sandpaper tickled.
The only part that hurt was the people who said it was fake.
Never question a person's holiness.
- Makeup? - (React) Yeah.
- (Brian) Yes. - Okay!
- That is 100% makeup.
Again, what a great effect.
- That must've taken so long.
- It's paint.
- Like initially you're like oh, cool, and he moves to the other lighting,
and you're like oh. - (Izzy) Yeah.
- I am just really impressed with that one.
- That was impressive.
They put some love into this video.
- (narrator) How is this possible?
- Whee!
- Oh, I love this one.
- Whee!
- When you're looking at it from this perspective,
you're assuming that the object itself is going straight through it directly.
It's not, it's going in a circular motion.
Because of that, it has to make its way through as if
it was going in a circle, and not in a straight line.
- Oh, my brain. (buzzer rings)
So many electrons and neurons. - (Zaria) I know!
- Like, they're firing off!
- It's a different entry point. - (Izzy) Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, it's entering at an angle, so it doesn't have to follow the shape.
It just needs to have enough space at its entry point to fit,
so the width is the same, it's fine.
- I think of human Tetris.
- If it was straight up, it wouldn't go and fit.
Because it's angled a certain way, it goes around
and fits in something that's curved with it being straight.
- (React) How do you explain?
- Huh. (laughs)
So the straw... - (Brian) Mm-hmm?
- (laughs) Is the straw. (buzzer rings)
- Correct, there we go. Next video!

- Perspective.
- If you want something to make it look like it's farther away,
you have to make it smaller.
- Mm-hmm, facts. - Yeah.
- It's a matter of perspective again.
It just depends on where it is that you're looking at it.
Whether you look at it from the right side or the left side,
directly in the middle, it is just a set of rungs
that go straight up and down.
(clock ticks) (buzzer rings)
- It doesn't make sense.
- So I'm just, yeah, I'm confused. I don't get it.
- It's almost unexplainable. - I can't explain it.
This one was probably the most... (buzzer rings)
...confused I've gotten.
- (React) What was your favorite illusion?
- I like the drawing. It was cute.
- The drawing with the ladder? - (Haley) Yeah.
- The Fushigi ball.
- I want one!
- For me, I would say all of the editing ones.
- The stair one. - I would have to agree,
just 'cause yeah, even if I saw it physically,
I still wouldn't be able to make it make sense in my own head.
