This impressive illusion by Shigeo Fukuda is sure to boggle the mind. On the right we can see a strange structure made out of various piano parts and shapes, yet when viewed in the mirror on the left the reflection is of a completely normal looking piano.

The illusion works because the parts are arranged in such a way so as to produce the reflection of a perfect piano when seen from one specific viewpoint. Move anywhere else and the reflection won't work.
The reflection isn't quite "perfect". The issue is with the shadows that are cast. One can see by the shadow cast by the stool onto the rug that there is a single light source. None of the shadows in the reflection fall within the same perspective lines. Awesome work of perspective however!
