Do you find that black spots appearing? How many black dots can you count? This illusion is a classical one and originally discovered by Elke Lingelbach.

Another popular one – and quite unnerving if you’ve never seen it before… Close your left and eye and just focus your right eye on the tiny cross. At some point the big circle will disappear as it crosses your ‘blind spot’. If you can’t see this effect, then try sitting closer/further from the screen.

The colour you are about to witness is actually true Cyan … a colour that is heavily diluted on the vast optical illusions 10 [...]

This amazing illusion to the right already looks quite ‘wavy’, but try slowly moving the mouse cursor up and down the center of the image – and focus on the cursor. You should see the picture ‘waving’ in an incredible way.

At first, there doesn’t seem anything unusual about this picture. It’s just a bunch of diagonal lines and a slightly distorted square in the middle – right? Wrong. Believe it or not, the 4 lines that make up the square are actually perfectly straight. In fact it’s a perfect square. For proof of this, the [...]
