    Yes that's the way it works: a square mug with a carefully profiled rim. I still think it clever that in one position it looks square, yet the reflection looks round. Rotate the mug and it and the reflection change shape.

    I find these optical illusions fascinating, even when I know how they work.

    Oh Ive got books of optical illusions...some are amazing and others just tedious.

    Try the magic eye books if you want a bit of fun. I have my eye trained to squint into the images and its amazing what appears...the image suddenly takes on a glow as your brain deciphers the hidden 3d information
