I think then they draw the picture on the paper they stretch it out long ways so when the glass is by it, it makes it look perfect in the reflection.

How pliable one’s talent has to be to pull off something like this. I am in awe.

Some optical illusion books come with a sheet of mirror-like mylar that you roll into a tube and secure with tape. These work fairly well, you might be able to find a similar sheet in a craft store.

I love the Einstein ones, the pictures are works of art in themselves, and when they’re reflected it’s even cooler!

Those are amazing. I love this kind of illusions. In my opinion, the Da Vinci self-portrait is the best.

I don’t think anyone said they were done using Photoshop, just that it does have the tools to do it if you wish to make your own, without having to draw the distorted picture by hand.

I love the Escher one. He was genial at drawing distortion, and this picture is a distorted drawing of a distorted drawing!
