I don't get the fourth one, the one with the different colored crocs. I put a color meter on the images and the mystery pair is definitely not the same color as the pink pair.
it’s not the same in the photo, the lighting changes the actual color. If you put a red object under green light or vice versa, it will physically appear grey. But it doesn’t really work as an illusion in a digital video.
Well, yeah, but that's hardly news. What makes this qualify as an illusion-of-the-year?

Expected Kokichi Sugihara to be represented as always, not disappointed. I will have to try and replicate this one as well.

I’d like to preface that once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Enjoy the illusion while the answer is not revealed.
Not a fan of illusions that only work from 1 camera angle. But the others are great.
