Remember “Head On a Plate” Optical Illusion I posted earlier? There was a debate how that particular magic trick works. Well, after galzing your eyes upon this image below, the solution is much more visible. Can you guess how it was done? These kind of do-it-yourself magic tricks can be found inside every museum dedicated to optical illusions.

    This is an old stage magic illusion. It used to be called “The Sphinx” and was presented by Colonel Stodare in the late 1800s.

    I don’t want to give it away, but although it could well be the box, I think it’s probably the same solution as the Sphinx illusion which is a different principle altogether.

    Looks amazing in real life on stage. he picture doesn’t quite capture how good this can look.

  4. hello??? says:

    Hi, It has a principle behind it. I think the sides of the table are actually mirrors.

    A place near my school also has this trick and explains it very well.

    Actually it is a series of mirrors that reflects on the walls and causes the area under the head to appear as if nothing is there.

  45. Thomas says:

    Hey, This is the easiest illusion ever.
    First of all, she’s in a box. The sides of the box are mirrors. In the photo, the person who took it is in a big EMPTY room. The box is connected to another room where the ‘girl’ waits.

    She climbs through this tunnel up inside the box.

    ONLY her HEAD can protrude through the opening. So it appears her head is only visible, on a plate. The rest of the body is behind the mirrors.

    Hope I help,

    Thomas

  46. MAGIC SPOILER ! says:

    It’s not a Painting neither Wallpaper !!
    Only dum ppl beleives that!

    The trick is she’s sitting under a table. The table has a hole on it. Thats where her heads come out. The 2 sides of the table (the two sides in front) have mirrors. The mirror reflects the sides of the wall. So it looks like she has no body.

    DUHHHH!

  47. Tori says:

    ashwin and i kill bob,
    the photos ARENT photo shopped unless the guy says so! He really did say that! And while I wouldn’t give away how its done, but other people already posted it so I’ll repeat it for the people that can’t read:
    ITS A BOX WITH MIRRORS! Pretty simple, yet funny and cool looking. It would be better if the serving dish thing was there, but maybe thats just me…

  48. Anonymous says:

    if you look very very close you can see a peice of her shirt.

  49. Zakky says:

    Why is it called girl with no head it should be called head with no body
