This Optical Illusion is mega super extra pro version – ultimate magic trick, I tell you! There was no digital modification done with this image, I can guarantee you that. Yet, it is unbeleivable and not understandable to my humble mind. This public installment was also done by creative artist called “Blue Sky”, and you can find more about this installment on his homepage. Previously I’ve posted his wonderfull mural called “Tunnelvision”, so be sure to check it out! “Levitating Dumpster” debuted at the Columbia Music Festival Association’s fundraising ‘Street Bash’ and no one suspected it was art installment. Attendants believed it was an actual dumpster and were unable to figure out what supported it. Autor and his wife are tight-lipped about the secret behind this magic act. Can you solve this enigma? Can’t wait to hear your thoughts. My mind is blank regarding this one… maybe mirror reflecting dumpster on it’s upper side, while bottom of the mirror is transparent so you can see the house and the fence?

whoever said that the dumpster had a fake shadow is wrong because this peice of work was displayed in public, no? You can’t really use fake shadows in reality because although they look good in pics, they cant stand up to a close examination.
“IThe shadows don’t look quite right to me, but it is hard to tell there are no forgound objects to compair with. Maybe the shadow is painted and the dumpster is really larger and placed further back in the scene.”
I dissagree if you look at it the dumpsters are over the SKY not looking like it’s even in front of ground, If you want to figure something out you might want to take more time observing it
Really Cool
it could have been dropped from high up then someone took a picture with a good camera.
the bags cant be filled with helium or air, because the bags sag. if the bags were filled with helium or air the bags would be floating up. the only thing i can think of is that the dumpster was dropped and caught with a high speed camera
INCREDIBLE!!!
As far as I can see, NO ONE HAS SUGGESTED PHOTOSHOP YET!! (or at least not specifically)
YOU’VE GOT TO ADMIT, IT’S A MIRACLE!!!
Usually all you have to do is open up ANY illusion on this site and INSTANTLY about a million people start screaming “PHOTOSHOP!!!”, even when that is wrong and stupid, because the description CLEARLY rules out photoshop. (as in this case)
IM JUST SO SHOCKED!!!
Oh, and while I’m here, may I point out that the shadow is NOT fake, yet not as it seems?
Note: in the top pic the shadow looks as if it is UNDER the dumpster.
However, by looking at the rest of the shadows, you can see that the shadow should really be IN FRONT OF the dumpster.
But the next picture shows that the shadow is BEHIND the dumpster!
That suggests that there is some kind of trickery going on, right?
to: amazing discovery: maybe the two pix were taken at different times in the day.
p.s.! why would there be garbeage coming out from the SIDE of the dumpster. shouldn’t it be the top?!
Not gas. Gas would make it bulge. Second, The two pictures of it in the air have the exact same angle, tilt AND shadow. If this thing was floating, the photographer would not have been able to get around fast enough for the angle and shadow to have not changed when the second photo was taken.
Must be very light and suspended by very thin thread or fishing line. The photo is not exactly high resolution, so the thread/line would easily vanish.
maybe there is a tiny dumpster stuck to the camera lens
Possibly theres a painted fork-lift or something like that holding it up???
Oh my gosh! You guys are retarded. Before assuming your ridiculous theories maybe you should look at Bly Sky’s website! This was a real thing, the illusion is not in the photograph, the photo is just the only way it could be put on a website. Therefore, photoshop, drawing, painting, billboards, and whatever nonsense is out of the question! Goodness gracious. If you want to find the answer maybe you should know what you’re talking about first! This was a real exhibit and people saw it and walked around it. I don’t know the answer, but most of you a 100% wrong.
Does anyone else think that the front of the dumpster is concave a little? Just a the thereoy. So im going with floating dumpster
He drew around the dumpster that was probably against a wall. The background is the drawing. The dumpster is real.
this is really cool no matter how its done. wish i could have seen it.
Thats awesome. Tried Googling how it was possible, and couldn’t find any realistic claims, so im assuming its being held up by some sort of crane or building.
We were told he consulted the famous American landscape photographer Jeff Mitchum for 3 D composition.They said Mitchum helped with the directional light and angles.
The artist tells us that it was manufactured to ‘look like’ a real dumpster. Therefore it wasn’t a real dumpster. We have another clue in that it was ‘destroyed by the tail end of a hurricane’. Now a real dumpster would hardly be affected by wind — but a dumpster-shaped balloon could be torn to shreds. My money is on a dumpster-shaped balloon.
some glass and magicians thread can be almost invisible does that give eny thoughts? pluss the dumpster is close to a wall and like JONJ sayed the dumpster might be fake so it could be light enuf to hang by magicians thred!!!!
p.s. can u check out my web site?
e-lacasse.synthasite.com or eal.com
time wasting. do you know anyone who can do telekinesis? thought not.
shut up ghetorayden i can “do” telekinesis, if you havent figured it out yet, either its mirrors and paint or theres a little dumpster stuck to the cam…but that wouldnt explain the shadow….it cant be telekinesis cuz i wasnt there…im floating right now belive it or not
