Elliott Line sent me this nice optical illusion. You might have seen some similar with bank notes in the past. Remember Rupees Illusion? How about “The Queen Is Bald” one? If not, simply jump to our previous illusion tutorial. Elliot wrote: “Here is an illusion that anyone with a British banknote can do. By making hill-folds through the edges of the Queen’s mouth and through her eyes, and then tilting the note back and forth, you can make the Queen appear happy or sad.”

    Old news, and yet so amusing! Wonder who had so much free time they discovered that! Must have been English, us Scots are far too cool for that kinda malarky!

  9. chick

    wow wonder how long it took for someone to figure that out….haha

  10. Pembo

  11. Nomis

  12. You know... me

    I bet you could do the same thing with a picture of yourself. I’ll have to try.

  13. tayba

    Um ok…looks like Euan has his head jammed up his rear end, because he doesn’t seem to understand that he is a Nobody. (GASP! GASP!) Ok calm down, only joking. Maybe the English have too much free time, but at least we use better words than Malarky! haha..cool picture tho…

    To the person named omg. I am enraged that you didn’t recognise HRH, the queen of England.

    From an apoplectic English person.

  18. Lucy

    i would always do that with any bill

    it does not just need to be a 20 pound note it works with any kind of bill as long as you fold through the eyes and eye brows it works
    for Canadian the twenty is the best and the five

  21. Anonymous

  22. Kelsey

    This works with Canadian money too! =D

    Wow. Best facial flip flop I’ve ever seen. Queen works especially well. Also, in general, it’s a nice idea since it’s not a specially drawn face that’s *designed* to have that effect.
