The New Optical Illusions

The real trailblazer here is Mystery Guitar Man, a sunglasses-wearing Brazilian who weekly serves up smart, snappy musical illusions that blur the line between clever camerawork and post-production trickery. Here's one of his latest videos, which he claims was shot entirely in one take, a la Hitchcock's Rope. High concept stuff! His other videos are no less impressive. At this point, he's definitely the closest thing we have to a YouTube Houdini.
