Further evidence that you can’t believe anything
Forget the news; if you can’t trust your own eyes, what can you believe? But, just as with a lot of what purports to be news, sometimes what you believe you’re seeing is an illusion. Here’s a great one I found online today, with a handy notification to hit pause in the middle if you don’t want the trick revealed. I figured out right away how this was done, and you can too if you watch closely.

When I saw this, I instantly thought of Roland Young in THE MAN WHO COULD WORK MIRACLES (1936), based on an HG Wells short story. This trite little film should remind anyone under the age of say, 110; that since the invention of the motion picture, we’ve needed to check our beliefs.
We’re on the edge of a cliff, on a sunny day, when a large population will be suspended from such reality based critical thinking. They might stay on the edge and wag their heads and say…nice try…or JUMP. I hope I’m at home that day, alone, on the Indian Cabin Road.
