Oh we love this little piggie. No matter how many times we put our finger into the little circular space, well, the reptilian part of brain is convinced we're going to touch the actual pig. But it's a mirage, and that's what this thing is called, The Mirage. It's been around for decades, the illusion having been discovered by accident when someone was cleaning searchlight reflectors. Somehow two parabolic mirrors create a hologram -- but we don't understand what we just wrote, let alone how it works. Anyway, you can replace the elusive (illusive?) pig with anything: candy is our favorite.
