two-for-the-rainy-days-illusions

Here are two simple ones I got hold of today. It would be shame to pass them, despite their easy explanation and visual simplicity. When you look at the first one, you immediately think of letter E. But why is that? None of the lines presented depict letter E even closely! Our brain immediately presumes [...]

Wooster Collective points us to a remarkable piece of street art, that appeared on the streets of Berlin few weeks ago. What you can see in this photo below, is a creation by an unknown artist, who has created a subtle but effective lenticular image on the slats of a fence. Head-on it doesn’t look [...]

From the creators of one of the best video illusions we have in our archives (Little Green Dragon), here comes another interesting toy. Have you heard about optical illusion ring? Apparently, when you turn the ring one way, it seems to be getting fatter; but rotate it in the opposite direction, and it will seem [...]

how many rocks optical illusion

Now this is an interesting find! Aihira Kenji, the one responsible for Rope Illusion and Football Player Stereogram, created this fine little animated gif file. The game is simple – All you have to do is count how many boulders are present inside the picture.  Is it 9? No, wait! There are 10! No, wait…I [...]

rabbit duck optical illusion

Don’t get angry on me today… I know this illusion is nothing spectacular, but it’s still regular, and has that old-school smell. What do you see in the picture on your right? Is it a dead duck (lying one for animal lovers), or a hiding rabbit? I dunno, but what I know is that we [...]

Dinterville Istvan Orovitz Anamorphosis Optical Illusion

The picture shown below was created by the Hungarian artist István Orosz. As we noted in one of our previous posts, Istvan has a great interest in anamorphic designs. If you know how to look, you can even see an anamorphic motive hidden inside this picture. Instead of looking directly at the screen, try and [...]

magnet_slopes_optical_illusion_thumb

In this video below, miniature balls roll up the slopes just as if they were pulled by a magnet. This behavior seems impossible as it defies gravity, and the magnetic forces can’t help, as the balls are made of wood! I can assure you there are no fancy computer graphics. Just cardboard, glue, and some [...]

Well not three, just two of them are (slightly) offensive actually – if you are puritan, that is. There’s not much talk whether these were photoshopped or not, most of them were. But still, they make fine showcase for today. None of them deserved a dedicated post to be featured in, but if you put [...]
