The latest optical illusion that has left many of us puzzled involves a man putting what seems to be rectangles and circles in front of a mirror.


As he continues in the video, the reflection on the mirror shows different shapes to what the man seems to be holding. 



Could it be circles, rectangles, a combination of both, or just the angle in which the video was taken? The illusion is so good that it made it to the Best Illusion of the Year Contest 2016, with some viewers blaming Photoshop, while others credited witchcraft.
