My only comment is to query the date...April the First? This has nothing to do with M.C.Escher's incredible graphic designs, except the concept of well done editing of the video..... P.S. I used to design Magicians stage illusions and tricks......

 Now that's impossible stairs, an image with about 16 perspectives, believe it or not solid versions have been made....clue is they have to be viewed at only one strict viewpoint!..and the drawing delivers that automatically, gaining a superb illusion by M.C Escher, who produced the very best drawn illusions ever.

...and then there are the millions who are seriously debating just how the staircase could have been built. It struck me that in the 21st century in a very sophisticated technologically adept world the first response that people have is to take photographic images as truth. Apparently most of us want to suspend disbelief and hope in our heart the photographer or film maker haven't faked it.

It does bring into more serious question of whether some theorists in Science perhaps pursue ideas that are in themselves complex answers, when the actual problem is trivial, some of the wilder quantum physics ideas may fall into this category, instead of Newtonian Physics, they invent concepts, which they feel they can prove,(it very easy to prove your own concept), but are actually far easy to explain. They are not deceitful, just self delusion perhaps.
In photography, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle just could not, indeed would not, believe that the Cottingley Fairy Photos he so vigorously supported, were quite obvious fakes, because not only did he believe the young girls could not do the fake photos themselves, but believing in it supported all his beliefs in the paranormal.
Victorian photography in general promoted the belief that photos do not lie,....how we have learnt the opposite over the years, from wrong interpretation, to direct false images, used for advertising to propaganda.
