The other night I was staying in a hotel and as I was leaving the room I noticed a stage illusion inspired night stand!
I’m not sure why the feet needed the false space, they’re not hiding a lady in there, but the black art is there to hide the lack of gap between the feet. My guess why they have that is a solid base is cheaper to make and more durable.
It’s a great mainstream use of a magic principle!
