Ever seen something so dumb, that it’s actually good? If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you obviously missed Evil Dead trilogy, and haven’t seen a single SNL episode. Well, when I opened my mailbox to see some optical illusion trends, I was amazed to see how popular this photo became in such a short notice. It still bugs me, but I decided to share it with you! Could this instead be the most complex magic trick ever? I surely doubt so… Watch how this dude pulls an optical illusion, sort off.

i liked it! so simple but it works
he is standing on something look closley to his feet
so shitty, i noticed it in a matter of 2.5 seconds
i think hes suppose to be “hovering”
yes, in the widget size it looks great, but once you open it to full size it doesn’t have the same effect
im not bashing but seriously tthe windows 7 gagdet is miles better for this 1
OK sooo its works when its small but… once u magnify it its sooooo obvious. i mean i guessed it before I opened it… its cool though would have NEVER thought of it on my own
He is just standing next to a smudge that looks like the shadow of his feet. So it looks like he is floating.
hes stepping on the floor but theres a black spot thats supposed to be a shadow
he’s standing on the pavement
and then has drawn a black blob closer to the camera
and then taken the picture
so it looks like he’s levitating
he wet himself
That illusion is almost as good the the one we see everytime we “think” we see something fall. You probably won’t beleive this absolutely and utterly amazing truth . . . EinsteinReality.com
Why doesn’t he have a shadow?
uhh you people are life noobs, he just photoshopped his shadow out and either drew that stain on the concrete or pissed it there. fuck this dumb shit, and all of you for being so dumb you guys probably think chris angel has magic powers. kill yourselves.

No Photoshop, it is an overcast day with exposure cranked up to give a daylight like brightness, but the sun is diffuse enough no shadow is visible. It is wonderful because it does thoroughly fool the eye for a fraction of a second. If you look away and glance back and then away again for about half of one second the man looks like he is hovering. When you have time to digest the details the illusion soon flattens out. I would classify this as a transitory illusion vs. a steady state illusion, which is what we are used too.
i wonder were his real shadow is
hehe.only after 2 minutes i realised that the photo was taken in the center of my hometown (Iasi,Romania).
were can i see video?
duh hes standing on the ground…………
the shadow MAKES it look like hes floating
Too bad that you notice that he’s just standing to a spot on a road instead of hovering, it pretty much ruins it.
if u see he is standing on the side walk and the dark spot that looks like his shadow is actually painted to look like he is floating
oily spot
its obvious he is standing on the ground and the “shadow” is like some water or something next to him
he drew the circle on the ground, then moved up from it
like:
(Key: |=person, o= shadow)
|
o
so, the shadow is fake.
i agree..its an oil spot or something but it looks like he’s floating from the position the picture was taken
Ohh Shit this photo is from my city , Iasi from Romania !
so simple
@sexyboy Quick notice, that’s called the ground.
though it’s taken in my hometown, i have to say it’s a fail.
I think that it wasnt a sunny day and there were no shadows and that was just an oil spott or something
wow at first i just thought he peed on the floor, then looked guilty
I figured it out this one pretty quickly but it’s
still pretty cool.
Chris Angel is a witch
It is so simple but so cool.
If you look at his left hip and focus for a few seconds, it’s hard to realize he’s NOT floating. If I look at the picture anywhere else, the illusion doesn’t work for me – he’s just standing near a stain on the ground.
sooooooooooo simple but sooooooooo KeWl :)
This is very nice trick but if you shown shadow then you can’t illuz anyone…
Really nice trick..
thumbs up
Simple but effective. Loved it.
