No. We tend to think of of our eyes as cameras recording what’s in front of them, but that’s inaccurate. Everything we experience as sight is a construction of our brains, and our brains do that in two ways: predicting what we will see and interpreting visual signals. Those predictions and interpretations do not always reflect reality.

And indeed this mismatch between prediction and interpretation is the very foundation of things like sleight of hand tricks and even camouflage.
That’s a really good explanation
