Fooling Gravity Illusion

This one is also not done by digital modification. Either way, probably easy to guess the trick anyway - [via].

    some other light source is used...shadow due to the candle light cannot be seen for any of the objects because of their positions...not even the candle...whose shadow is formed on theplace precisely where it is glued

    Mindy is right. The candles shadow has an umbra which means that soft lighting was used to light the scene. The lighting was carefully arranged to throw the shadows of the phone and the magazine down behind them. The dark patterned carpet further obliterates the shadows.

    maybe its not a candle? could be a teeny lightbulb

    If the candle is real, then the only explanation is that the carpet, phone (including the cord), and the magazine are glued and the picture is rotated counterclockwise.

    Hahaha. How could anyone think the candle was glued to the wall? This is so obvious, I've seen it done on much larger scales. The candle is on regular plain old flat ground. The telephone and book are glued or taped to the wall. The picture was either rotated 90 degrees afterwards, or taken with the camera on it's side.

    The candle is pretend, and the wall has glue on it.

    The candle and candle's shadow were added on after the picture was taken..

    Look close at the candle and it's shadow... Why doesn't the flame have a shadow as well?

    The candle is electric and glued to the wall. The magazine would fall open if glued to the wall

  28. Anonymous LISTEN! 

    The candle flame CANNOT be a bulb. WHY? because if u look at the candle's shadow, the "Bulb" does not have any apparent shadow considering the "bulb" is made from glass/wadeva, it shld produce a shadow with some sort of distorted reflection... and yet here, we see no shadow at all, which leads me to believe its a true flame, which will produce ONE, solid shadow *that flickers, duh*... but u cant SEE this one shadow because since the light source *that is located out of the picture* is shining from an angle enough to produce a long shadow, which hits the other wall. SINCE the light source is in this angle, the top part of the candle would makke a bigger shadow than the bottom, and since the light source is located a slight angle below the candle itself, the part of the candle facing the wall would appear bigger. Hence, the single shadow produced by the flame would be covered by the candle's shadow.

    so, since the flame is not pointing upwards, its clear that the carpet, book and phone was glued onto a wall, and the candle, on the floor. the picture was rotated.

    Fungusfulpixi, the candle is not glued and it is not on the wall. the magazine won't fall open if it's just a cover glued together..duh...

    The candle could be a cigerette poked through the wall or
    not real or it could be rotated andthe book and phone could
    be glued on but that could probably not happen because if
    they were the book would be open and phone off the hook
    THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    errr...hello! they could have glued down the recever and glued the book together.it would have been dumb not to think of that in an optical illusion. i agree with s. henry, LISTEN! and peter. plus they could have photoshoped in the shadow after.

  32. Anonymous Sahara 

    I agree with number 24. Why else wouldn't there be a shadow for the flame? so that means, they took the picture with the rug phone and magazine on the FLOOR and photoshopped the candle in along with a shadow. its pretty obvious. duh.

    They glued the magazine shut and the phone and the carpet to a wall
    then they put the wall paper on the floor and on one wall
    then they had a light on at a low level to make the candle have a shadow
    the flame doesnt have a shadow as it is plasma and doesnt stop light.

    guys it is obvious the rug phone and magzine are glued to the wall the magazine's pages are glued together and the candle is normal

  40. Anonymous Anonymous 

    The candle, along with the shadow, is painted on the wall. It cant be glued because the flame would be pointed up. and if the candle were real, then the flame would be giving off light and making another shadow for the candle which its not.

    the flame does not give off light....

  42. Anonymous fin 

    I's clear that the candle is on tha ground and the magazine, telephone and carpet r stuck on to the wall.
    Also the magazine wouldn't fall open cause it's stuck so the pages
    r facing downwards.
    so how could the magazine fall open?
    Another point is that, if the candle was on tha wall, tha flame would have pointed upwards.

  43. Blogger Kendall 

    wow guys - it was stated that there were no digital modifications. so, NO PHOTOSHOPPING. now, if the out-of-frame light source is stronger than that of the flame (very likely) then the flame wouldnt even come CLOSE to creating a noticeable shadow of itself or of the objects on the dark carpet. if the carpet, phone, and mag were glued and the picture was rotated - well the pages are facing down, so the magazine wouldnt need to be clued together, cuz it wouldn't fall open. this is so obvious it hurts to think it went unnoticed by some of you. and the phone cord could've been glued also, so it wouldnt hang to the right, and the phone itself could have been glued to the base. the only other possibility could be a pretty nice paint job on the wall, but i'll go with the real candle and the picture was rotated. also - this doesn't need to be a real room. it could easily be ply wood covered in plaster and a carpet glued on one side.

    personally i think this is obvious. fistly the candle is actually up right on the floor the the carpet, phone and book are glued to the wall. Then the picture was taken on the side.

    since the flame is going strait across, not upwards its obvious that the rug, phone and scary magazine are glued to the wall.

    um VOLKEN IS RIGHT DUDES!
    the entire candle and the shadow are strategically painted on the wallllll.


    it seems so obvious when you know what they did.

  53. Anonymous Anonymous 

    only the entire candle and its shadow were strategically painted on the wall, and the lighting was set up to look like its from the candle.
    but if it realy was a candle, wouldnt the wall behind it be brighter in the spot where the flame is?
    yea.
    its obvious when youve seen stuff like this alot.
