Explanation
An illusion is something that looks real but is not actually real. It tricks your eyes or mind. For example, the magician created an illusion that made the coin disappear, but the coin was still there. Illusions can happen in magic shows, pictures, mirrors, or even thoughts. Sometimes people have an illusion about life, like thinking success happens quickly, which is also not real. An illusion always fools you or gives you a false idea.
