Steve Speirs felt creative, and liked our Hidden Coffee Bean Man so much, that he decided to create similar illusion of his own. Below you should be able to spot the hidden face, don’t ask me – I haven’t spotted it yet. Maybe it was just a hoax, like those Ninja submission. Can anyone solve this one? Last time I had such a problem spotting the illusion, was with that baby illusion. This is what Steve wrote on his blog: “I loved the coffee bean you featured on your site last year. Decided to come up with my own version of the effect. What do you think? Is it possible to add it to your site? Thanks and keep up the good work!” Can this post beat the famous “Hidden Tiger“?

I think I see the Virgin Mary. I wonder what I can sell it for on E-Bay?
I have found a weird baby looking face.. Is that it?
[:
BOTTOM RIGHT count in 3 beans from the edge (along the bottom)To the left of the triangular patch of reflected light I see 3 faces. The mouth of one of the faces runs parallel to the left side of the triangular light patch (turn your head 45 degrees toward your left shoulder to see it more clearly) and looks slightly transparent. The 2nd is just eyes and a nose (with possibly a shoulder)but is opaque with dark eyes and is connected to the first face diagonally upwards and on the left. The 3rd is above the bottom right hand bean and is touching the side of the picture, although this one does look a little distorted – maybe I’ve just BEAN looking at it for too long (!)
Think i found it!
bottom left corner – that bean has a mans face in the right of the bean. Really good one took me aaaaages! x
i think its 5th from top right corner very bad resolution he looks like hes laughing lol
Found it. Bad photoshop job. Biggest bean near top left corner. The whole face is a bean and the nose is a reflection. The whole face is looking straight out of the picture and is slant at 45 angle.
werd it go? arghhhh dis is sooooo annoyin i cant c anyfing
lol!
right of center. you can see the left eye. The upper left bean is not it. the eyer looks like a small bubble.
Found it. Wasn’t too hard. His face is on the bean that’s ’bout 2 beans to the right and 3.5 beans down.
Without trying to blame someone:
This is the worst illusion I’ve ever seen!
Nothing amazing behind it – after half an hour staring I’m very disappointed.
I photoshoped the picture and even after relighting it the face is not visible. After getting the source picture from iStockPhoto.com and substracting the two images some you can see some strange colors over the bean, described by you all. The colors seen there are different from the colors that form by the substraction of an original and an compressed image.
Boooorign ^^. I hate the fact that I have spend so much time on that -.- .

OOOOHHHH!!! saw it!!! muz see it in a bigger image then can find. >_<
face damn faint.
I think it’s a reflection of his face from the glare. It’s about 5 beans from the left, and two beans from the bottom.
Top left corner
start at the top left bean, and move south-east three beans. there’ll be a shiny thing for a nose and a black thing on ethier side for an eye.
I am Sure that there is at least 4 faint faces…look again…
oh i see the one bean everyones talking about near top left, but before that i saw a face of several beans with that one as its left eye (it has lopsided eyes, a huge fat cheek, and fat lips)
i also see a single been kinda like the one everyone is talking about… its in the bottom left and its upside down… looks like he is blindfolded
the coffee one was so much easier
Although theirs loads of faint faces that I think are just beans the best one I could find is go to the centre bottom bean, go up a bean, and at the bottom of that bean appears to be a little face looking up at you!
Bit like in a mirror!
That’s the best I can do!
I think you guys are wrong, look in th bottom right corner, not at the beans but the white glare, it looks like a freaky face to me!
I think I found it;
The bean in the bottom left corner, has what looks like a face on the right side of the bean. Comparing the light on that reflection with the light on the other reflections it’s not the same shine to it. And since there actually is another bean laying against it there shouldn’t be a reflection at all.
But I have to say, with some imagenation there could be a face in serveral different places.
i found it! it takes up almost the whole thing its to do with the way the light shines on it. its head is tilting to the sky slightly. the big dark patch…
You guyz r all getting it wrong. I found it and it is confirmed.Its very thin.its in the center bottom part of picture. The shining part is his nose
Guys found it its in the bottom center.

Ifound it but only comparing with the original
I compared the photo with the not altered original. And found the “Face”! But sorry, in my opinion this is not worth a post. It is made so bad. Some artifacts of the jpeg-image are more intense than “the face”. You better post nothing than things like this …
Bye
OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!! anonymous number 4 are u completely STUPID??????
ITS THE @$*!%&# TIGERS STRIPES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S…number 2… nice spotting! ;)
P.P.S… is the person who is the baked bean on drugs? His face is freeky!!it so gross! Xb
I saw it in 5 seconds. Easy peasy.
u r all wrong look one bean above the cymru66.com sign in that open space its not even a bean and it has no mouth
top right lol
Its not a face.
It looks more like a fetus.
i see it!!! top left corner,two beans down,two beans right, theres a man with a construction hat or something make sure you have high quailty look or something
It looks like a fetus with barely formed facial features…Hidden tiger still rules
top left corner, two beans down two beans right. a white glare spot is his nose. eyes and mouth are on the same bean(very faint). the one bean is all there is.
i saw more than 1 smilyfaces
I can;t see the man. sorry.
I feel so silly. My four year old son found the face and showed it to me after I sat here examining each and every bean over and over. He came over to see what I was looking at. I asked him if he saw a face in the beans. It took him about 10 seconds.
could you posibly post us a picture of the bean with the face on?
