Matt Parker gives a hands-on Royal Institution talk on how four-dimensional shapes appear in a 3D world, with props like straw frames, Mobius strips and a knitted hat. It is a playful general-audience tour of the fourth dimension.
Recommended as an enjoyable, accessible talk for building intuition about higher dimensions.

I found this Matt Parker lecture provided some good tools for getting your head around the fact that extra dimensions really do let you go around things, not through: [VIDEO] (the whole thing is worth watching, but the bit about higher dimensional visualization starts there)
I love Matt Parker's take on the fourth dimension: see for instance this one-hour long but very enjoyable talk for general audiences at the Royal Institution: [VIDEO] (Things to See and Hear in the Fourth Dimension) If you know German, then you might like this talk as well: [LINK] (The curious world of four-dimensional geometry)
For anybody whom might be interested in "what a 4D cube might look like..." [VIDEO] The entire video in mesmerizing -- one of the coolest party tricks I've learned is the double-twisted morbius strip dissection.
