who said goldfish are stupid?

The lights are dimmed, the fire is blazing in the big old fireplace, your favourite tunes are on in the background, and I'm just about to pour you a big glass of red!!! Let's settle down on the big old leather sofa and have a chat!!

Had me fooled for awhile. LOL

Looks like good video editing. They forgot to edit the shadows to have the light source to only come from the right, instead of the gold fishes shadow is always behind it no matter where it turns.

IIRC, Mythbusters did this to demonstrate that the idea goldfish only have a 3 second memory is false. Jamie's fish seemed to have the hang of it.
It's not an illusion, it just looks like one.
