I think is is interplay between a precise angle on the camera and mirror, ramped shapes on the objects.

What about the one where a star turns into a circle?

Yeah. If you put it on slow speed and watch as the shape is turned, you can start to see what's going on.

Cool trick.

Is it possibly not a mirror at all and we are looking at two diferrent sets of hands placing different objects on opposite sides of a clear glass ,or even a cut-out panel ?
