The video tutorial explores a three-part illusion involving a window, a Rubik's Cube, and a ruler. Initially, the window appears to turn and reverse direction. When a Rubik's Cube is attached, it seems to rotate continuously while the window oscillates. In the final part, a ruler is placed through the window, creating an illusion of the window moving backward, defying physical logic. The tutorial demonstrates how our perception can be tricked by visual illusions.
