I’m looking for a specific word to put to this image I have in mind. It’s to do with illusion. I have in mind this image of something or someone one creating out of dust/thin air, or something a specific image/illusion. Two related image I have in mind are a plate-spinner, who creates the illusion of a floating plate, but it’s really only a temporary state because it’s balanced on the force of the spin ( ). And also a tornado, which is a presence whipped up by winds, and again, something which at its centre has a similar spinning force as the plate.
“Spinning force” sounds ridiculous but hey-ho there you go. Vortex?
Apologies about the vague description. But any help is appreciated.
‘Tourbillion’ is a nice word, though I doubt a useful phrase would be made from it. That it has meaning number two is nice as metaphor, since this is an artificial ‘whirlwind’.
