Did some research and found this magnificent video illusion created by graphic artist Eugen Erhan. This video clip below is originally named “A journey in a world of paradox and illusion”, and shows you a story of a little paper-boy and his trip to optical illusion book. I liked it a lot, and am sure you will enjoy it as much as I did. It’s somehow sad – shows you, that you cannot always get what you want, and there is something that is always holding you back, which makes you go back to start… Makes you take a look at life more, doesn’t it? I feel sad for the little guy, probably even more affected by the background music (Tiamat – “Do You Dream of Me”). If you like this, feel free to link back, or embed it on your site, just don’t forget to mention Eugen and give him credit he deserves. More optical illusion videos can be found inside our videos category.

It’s kinda sad, but sweet as well. It can reflect life but to say it does would be too pesimistic for me!

I like the last one that looks like triangle illusion come out to be a 3d object and its looks like do able. Just need some connections between boxes to make it stand up like that. Curious if any one has done it.

I just watched it again and i still think it is funny Poor Guy.

A bit creepy, but an interesting video. Is there a sequel?

To see the whole video, you have to go to the website it says at the end of the video.
Also, now that I have seen the whole thing, I realize how good it is. This is a true piece of art. Good Job!

Eugen Erhan,
author of “Iluzii Optice”
very cool. I love this video (woot 112th comment
AAAHHH, now i’m bummed :(
its actually not a sad ending, if you think about it. they’re finally in the same dimension after the impossible triangle breaks, all the girl has to do now is jump (and I don’t think paper figures can break bones)
random vid…
beautiful en a good job,this is art.keep on going
luv it the vid is full of illusions !!! cool :) :) LUV IT!!
it was awesome
that is mad. The music suits it. It makes it all mysterious. GO EUGEN ARHAN.
Oh. I mean GO EUGEN ERHAN!
this took 3 years to make, cost$100 million to make, and 1,000 people made it!!!!
i think it was cheap
I give a standing ovation for Eugen Erhan, its marvelous one. How nicely put the thoughts in to these illusions… its mapping the brain. I enjoyed & love it
Oh… that’s so sad!
Although I like the comment made by I’ve Always Liked Paradoxes; they are at last in the same dimension and if she jumps down to him, they will be together.
Still, it’s kind of spooky.
No video attached was looking forward to watching it??
