    also why, given enough attention, one can ‘flip’ the ballerina’s direction. However, the ball illusion is different because our brain’s preconceptions enhance our ability to catch the ball – this is why it is a less obvious illusion.

When a person looks into the optical utility that looks very close to a magnification glass, he or she will be able to see the image in a clear and straight way which is not upside down.
