Holy Illusion

(7 votes)

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! [...]

More Afterimage Flags

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 [...]

Ghost Of Houdini

Is this what you see here the ghost of Houdini? Well no, of course not, but you just might think it is after you’ve viewed this awesome original illusion created by Bob King. To explain how it works: open the picture below, then, with your eyes about 12 inches away, stare at the white circle [...]

Black and White Spanish Castle in Color Illusion

This has to be one of the coolest illusions ever! To my knowledge, John Sadowski is the original creator of this type of illusions. This is how it works: just stare at the dot for 30 seconds. This is animated gif file, that keeps repeating infinately. After about 20 seconds, grey scaled image of spanish [...]
