How can this be possible? See the video!
When Janek shared his Impossible Nuts with us for the first time, many argued that the video has been manipulated with. I knew that was not the case, but still – it would take time to locate each and every one of you non-believers, and then explain it in details to you. This video will simplify the process drastically! After seeing it, those of you who previously had hard time figuring those nuts, will finally understand how simple and beautiful this optical illusion really is!
Going off-topic, hope you have spent your holly days deservedly. I sure know I have. Today I spent whole day trying to figure out what is he best way to host my own videos for Mighty Optical Illusions. Actually, hosting them is the easy part (since we have our own dedicated server from recently), but I can’t seem to find a smooth and simple video player that I can install on my website. Something like Vimeo or Videopress. Anyone has some experience in this field? Would be nice if we could replace all those spammy YouTube’s with our custom ad-free player! Consider this my next goal…

Love it.
Once you can get your mind around it not being what it seems, seeing the nuts inside-out, at that point it suddenly looks normal.
cool…
I didn’t expect that!
nice one :)
I just pooped my pants :-(
thats amazing! even when they show you the trick you still couldn’t tell! WOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!! I love this illusion the most! srry 4 yelln’. im just amazed!
That’s a great one. I can get myself to see the convexity of teh left nut, but I just cannot see it in the right nut.
That is really, really cool!
I thought the straw going through the nuts was just drawn in some how. So it was very freaky to see the solution. Fantastic, Vurdlak!
blew my mind for a bit then i understood, awesome
What a great idea. Well done!
I think “wow” works pretty appropriately here.
You could try using longtail video player. It has tonns of skins and you can make your own. Unfortunatly it has a stupid watermark which costs €59 to remove but I found a way to remove it. It’s open source so it shouldn’t take you that long to figure out how to remove it ;).
Thats Cool!!
thats really cool! even after seeing it once, i still cant tell that the nuts were convex.
oAo My eyes are having a hard time comprehending that
This one is amazing!!!!! Such a classic!
Ahhhhh…. NICE!
I hate illusions like that… they make me feel stupid :<
This illusion was originally created by magician Jerry Andrus, who also created the crate illusion.
pro
thats great :D i had no idea!
Just brilliant!! Nice find
wow.
loved it but i figured it out before the video…. still very cool!
This is cool, some of you need to stop lying about knowing the solution. LOL
I’d like to see them moving it with the pencil in place. Then maybe my mind could wrap around it being convex. This is excellent.
I got it right a way but I didn’t realize the other illusion was that it could be concave or convex…excellent new way to make an old illusion seem so cool…pun was kind of bad though….
fine i really impresed with it
even after watching the solution approx. 13 1/2 times, i still can’t get myself to see the convexity of the nuts once they come out of his hand =O
cool
That is brilliant!! A truly mighty optical illusion. A couple things: first it turns out they aren’t even independently moving! The “nuts” are attached, but in a way that makes them seem to move separately. Which leads to the second observation, it’s done in a way that the shading all looks correct from a single light source.
Simply brilliant.
Yup, excactly like I said at the impossible nuts you posted before, they are concave
me liki
awesome
so unbelievable. drives me nuts. LOL
Can I say, that should get consideration for best of 2010. Too early? I think not.
niceee
I feel stupid now.
Google “Paper 3d dragon”.
Click either of the video results.
