Illusions

A closed curve/spline extruded along another curve/spline with a twist deformer applied to it (offset the twist deformer from the open curve, the more offset it is the larger the diameter of the spirals)...

Edit: Make sure your open curve has enough spans to twist how many times you want it to before the twist deformer is applied...
