Persistence of Vision.
Human brains can only process a certain number of images per second.
Persistence of vision occurs when objects are moving too fast for your brain to notice.

Stop Trick.
The stop trick is a technique where a cut in the video is used to create a unique change – eg. someone disappearing and reappearing.
The technique was created by George Melies accidentally when his camera jammed in the middle of filming, causing the subject to disappear from one place and reappear in another.
