The cogs was really cool - I didn't expect all three to be rotating in perfect unison!

Magical stuff... close call between ultra-slow motion stuff and that for what's most magical.

It's not an illusion, it's real... Interesting is just the way it is done...

Not really an optical illusion, "per se". This appears to be more of a technological example of using a special filter over a certain kind of print-out (where each frame of the animation is split into different thin vertical pieces, and revealed one by one when the filter is passed over it).

The successive animation frames are encoded as parallel stripes and moving thin window over the picture selects one of them. It's simple trick - let's say animation has 20 frames: strips 0,20,40,60,.. make up first frame, strips 1,21,41,... second and so on.

I recently bought a box of greeting cards with this effect triggered as you open and close the card. You can also get them online:

This video was taken from Youtube user brusspup. That's a shame, since by concealing the original author, it keeps us from finding his other vids where he gives instructions for making them.
