Another 9/11 Optical Illusion

(6 votes)

This “political cartoon” you see below is actually an optical illusion based on an old optical trick that some of you may have seen before (remember original Jesus Illusion). The primary image is the Twin Towers during the attacks six years go, on September 11th, 2001. But as you see, in the sky over [...]

To motivate you a little, heres one outstanding illusion for ya. It is called Rainbow Illusion, and effect it produces is awesome. Just like that Spanish Castle illusion John Shadowsky invented. It is quite simple – all you have to do is stare at the center dot of the yellowish image below. After few seconds [...]

India and Italy Flag Afterimage

(4 votes)

Long time ago those afterimages were quite popular. To my best knowledge, it all started with the original Jesus afterimage. Then another cool example I stumbled upon was USA Flag afterimage. I asked my readers to submit afterimage flags of their own countries, and received much responses back then. You can find all sorts of [...]

Holy Illusion

Can you find a holy character hidden inside this picture? I don’t know why these things are so popular! It all started with one of our first posts, this afterimage. Then some people saw him inside the corn field, then some reported they can walk on water. Some saw him in soccer stadium field too! [...]

I almost forgot that one month ago, I asked you all to submit Afterimage Flag of your own country. Danial Hashim emailed me two of them, including his letter: “Hi Vurdlak! I am Danial, and I love to visit your optical illusions blog. Since in your post of the Union Jack afterimage you suggested that [...]

Yorick’s Skull Vintage Illusion

(3 votes)

I decided that the last optical illusion this year (2006), should be another vintage one. As I said before, afterimages are one of the coolest optical illusion phenomenons in my opinion. If they are vintage ones at the same time, I’d call it a jack pot! It’s unnecessary for me to explain how this illusion [...]

Rob Clement emailed me: “I’ve been a frequent visitor after I had mighty Optical Illusions put on my Google homepage, and I love the site! After I saw the Canadian flag and American flag afterimages, I figured I’d try to do one myself. I just used a simple image creating/editing software that had an [...]

Canada Flag Afterimage

Obviously inspired by American flag afterimage, Amanda decided to make her very own Canada flag illusion. She has done a great work, I must say! This is what Amanda wrote (she is known by alias “Pandas” across our comment sections): “Hello. I’ve been looking at your site for a long time and I’ve seen the [...]

Cool Lightbulb Illusion

First time I saw this strange lamp, I wondered how is it possible that it is glowing. Took me few seconds to figure it out. Can you see how this nifty gadget works? There is solution photo inside. Did you get it? If you want to buy this some time in the future, it is [...]
