Lee Wallender sent us this fascinating optical illusion vie email. The image is titled “Momentarily headless”. The gymnist Katherine Coronel of Venezuela performs her routine during the rhythmic gymnastics competition at the 20th Juegos Deportivos Centroamericanos y del Caribe in Cartagena, in Colombia. I would just like to inform you, that I received all of your submitted illusions, and will post them soon. It’s just that I’m still on my hollydays, and have limited acces to internet. Some illusions that were submitted require downloading, browsing etc. which I will do when I get back home, since I’m on limited mobile phone internet right now. Be patient, all of them will be posted, so keep submitting them ;)

WOW. That’s one of my favorite illusions. So cool.
is that real????? how did she do that?? thats cool
How does he do that??? That’s soo cool? is that really real??
i know how she does it .. all it is is her head leaning all the way back and you see her feet
MMMMM..i like um flexible
I’ve heard of ‘foot-in-mouth’, but never this extreem… “Go Go Gadget Gymnast!”
nice her head is far back
Isn’t there supposed to be a new one of these each day?
How can people do things with their bodies like that? I assume that she bent her head backwards (would love to see the same situation from the side). I can’t do gymnastics at all, and can just say, as Andrew did before: Wow!
stupid flexable person
SUPERB
I CAN’T BELIEVE HUMAN CAN DO THIS
EXCELLENT WORK BY GYMNAST
dude, where’s the head! is it behind her body or photoshoped out? oh well it’s still cool!!!
BMWs Rock ma sox!
That’s no illustion; it’s the perfect woman.
what are you guys f*****g retarded? how is it possible for a human to bend their head all the way back? after observing the position of the thumbs and the hands one can conclude that she is facing towards you and that the head is just bent down and the design on the head matches that of the rest of the costume.
UM ALEX!!!!
it IS possable!
you c people that r double jointed, and people who can dislocate any part of their body anytime they want and put it back with no pain?
anyway it is pretty cool,
it cud have been shopped, but its still possable!
nice1
;P
ooops how did she manage that, thanx.
ya, sorry. i only realized that the other possibility could be plausible after I wrote it. good point!
i can do that!!!!!! its eeeaasssyyyy
i woulnt call that an illusion
Man…excellent work by the photographer….thats a really goood photo!!!
howed they do it couldve been shopped out but its really cool the way u can either do tht kinda gymnastics or shop it
< (^...^)> he he cool stuff and cool illusions
ya its all possible anythin is really possible so keep it cool
anythin can easily b shopped but all things r possible
its really cool stuff and illusions
anyway it is a real good job if they really did it but hav fun with anything u do
< (^...^)>
I’m a gymnast. She still has a head! She is just doing a leap with her head
leaning way back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I CAN totally do that I’m a level six gymnast,it’s easy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hee hee hee..foot lady
=^.^=
Oh my goodness that’s scary!
At first I thought it was a headless chiken with a gymastic suit on with no left leg….. then i saw it was a girl with her head back and her foot up behind her.
My daughter is a Rhythmic Gymnast, she can do that, but thank goodness never had a pic like that one!!! It’s called a SPLIT RING LEAP, because the body forms a “ring” with her back leg up like that, but because she’s facing the camera head on, no pun intented, she’s got no head. :) cool
used 2 do gymnastics ….. i’ve done tha before lol
You all can all see that the body is cut and pasted and the head is cut off by Paint or something. It is totally fake. It’s supposed to trick 1 person maxium but you guys are 1 million AT LEAST.
its probably a fake picture i mean there easy to make thesee days. i could do dat on paint. all u have to do is cut around the head and click cut. den draw wat the backround would look like over the spot where her head is. den from another pic u can cut around a foot and copy and paste it into this pic.
im a gymnast. its some kind of special leap type thngy
We are gymnasts, that is very easy for us. I cant believe you guys cant do it
i kno, they might of got the picture and earased the head and put the picture wif a back ground , ( im only 13) i did this in halloween in my school
Her neck and head r at her thigh…..
duh….. that is a simple gymnast trick…but not alot of non gymnast no this
I’m a Gymnast as well and i can put my head that far back i train 26 and a half hours a week!!!!!!!! i Went to Melbourne for a competition just recently and i WON!!!!!!!!! Yippee so i would say no illusion but could fool any dopey person anywayz so cool!!! c ya
This Reminds Me Od a Song… – Wheres Your Head At – by: Basement Jaxx, Lol
Hillarious! This is definitely one of my favorite illusions I have ever seen!
it is real…the end…if you actually believe that’s done with photoshop you’re wrong, if you think it was done with paint you are an idiot, not EVERYTHING in the world is a lie
I hope as a photographer that I will get to take neato shots like that
wow… its kind of obvious that she has her head bent back, but it is so sweet that someone can actually do that. its kinda creepy, though.
that is so easy to do.
okay she’s deffinatly facing tord you because of the way her knee is bent in the back, i bet that her head is bent back but i dought someone would edit her head out
<>>< <>
tha is very very very weird!!!
i can do that its so cool
I am a gymnast and im 11! Thats so easy to do! Her head is just bent back and her knee is bent so her foot is up!
It is fairly obvious. Her head is bent all the way back.
tha image is mind blowing!!!!
Duh the head was just photoshoped out DUHHHHH RETARDS!
duh, all she is doing is bending her neck backwards. a lot.
that suck her head is behind her back
Very cool! I think I might try that some time. Hmm… I wonder if it’ll work on me…. well only one way to find out.:-D
