Few days ago, user who goes under the name of “tobytickle” mentioned an interesting fact in his comment (here). Apparently the reason we are getting more visitors, is because Mighty Optical Illusions was featured in UK’s “WebUser magazine” (issue 204). Has anyone saw this? If you have a copy of the magazine, or would at least take a moment to scan the page and send it to me, I would be VERY grateful. This makes me think – are there more print publications out there in the wild, that made a reference to this website, and that I never had the opportunity to see. Please inform me if you saw MOIllusions mentioned in some magazine, TV flick, newspaper article…etc. I’d like to collect all the material available. Please help me in my quest! For the illusion of the day, check Thomas Kilkelly’s submission. he found this on the Sydney Morning Herald homepage. The illusion pictures Mark Bridge of Australia, reacting with another unidentified player behind him. The photo was taken a moment after him missing a shot against Ivory Coast, during a Group A Men’s soccer match at the Beijing Olympics.

    I suspect that extra hands would be a liability on the soccer field….

    @ comment 2: Well as he is clearly wearing the Australian national team’s kit (Green and Gold) and you can even see a little Kangaroo just under his left arm, and as it is also stated in the intro that it is the Australian player Mark Bridge, I doubt it is Simmao or Ronaldo from Portugal :P

    Still a nice pic

    It reminds of another soccer illusion in which two players are motioning with their hands, but it just looks as if one of them has an abnormally long arm. =)

    With reference to the more visitors thing.
    Huh? Even though the post he commented on said that you’d had “a record-low amount of visitors to the site”, he comments about “the reason you are getting more visitors” :P LoL… He obviously seems to have misread your post.. but meh! its funny that it turned out to be that you had more visitors AFTER that

    Anyway about this post!:) Nice, heh, good angle to get the shot from, and the blurred background helps out alot too =) – Yeah! Why isn’t he in goal?!
