Adam Cline found another audio illusion for me to put on the site. I tried serving it through Google Mail podcast player, but it didn’t work. This audio illusion works in a same way as holophonic matchbox mp3s. Visit our audio illusions category for more cool illusionary mp3s. Don’t forget to hear Shepard’s Paradox, and be sure to check your hearing at “Ringtone audible only to under 20 year olds“. Oh, I almost forgot to mention:
This effect works best if you put on your head-phones. If the player below doesn’t work for you, download the Virtual Haircut mp3.

To poster # 48, yes, it is a “stereo” or binaural recording and is made by putting 2 microphones in a dummy head to create the acoustics and whatnot. Also, shut up. There’s no need to be such a sarcastic killjoy. Stuff like this may not technically be an illusion but people have every right to be impressed with it as most folk don’t hear stuff like this through their headphones often so let them have fun with it and kindly keep your “whoopie” to yourself. thank you.

That was awesome! I got scared when Luigi whispered “Setera” in my ear.
That was sweet!! It was like i was getting my haircut without actually getting my haircut. When he whispered at the end i was a bit jumpy from how realistic it was.
i heard it befor but its still good!
Amazing.. I felt like I had a real haircut!!
@23, it’s a Barber, he’s giving the dude a shave :P.
I jumped when the electric sheers came closer to my ear lol
No one in their right mind would snip hair that fast…
That’s the only problem I had with believing it, they snips were far too quick. Other than that, great foley work!
oh god, when he whispered in my ear, i jumped. SCARY! lol
That was just sweet!
Sounded perfect on my Sennheiser HD 380 Pro Headphones.
