Here is a hot optical illusion I just found in my mailbox. What do you think? Is this too impolite for this type of website? I find it SFW but, would like to hear your comments. In the picture below, you can see some unknown female superhero (or villain maybe?) that is almost naked and [...]

Once again Mighty Optical Illusions website proudly brings new optical illusion that hopefully will become as famous as the Spinning Girl did in the past. Remember when we first posted Spinning Girl illusion, it was later reposted on all the famous websites across the internet. The artwork was created by Peter ‘Def’ Oksbjerre, and the [...]

Got this innovative steregoram from user called Romain months ago, and completely forgot about his submission. Can’t believe how I managed to skip this. But hey, we get dozen of submissions daily – you’ll have to forgive me. This is Romain’s email: “Hi, if you are interested, I’m sending you two links with one of [...]

One of the most popular Australians that ever lived – Steve Irwin, also known as “Crocodile Hunter” is main actor of today’s optical illusion. I have to admit, Irwin wasn’t my dearest documentary actor before the tragic event took place. Those of you who don’t know the story, Steve died in 2006 after his chest [...]

I had to share this with you people! I know, I know – its not your traditional type of optical illusion, but this funny animation made me laugh my ass of. Still the 3d “stereoscopic” effect it produces, somehow qualifies it being posted to Animations Category and to this website. Anyone can recognize the two [...]

My excuse to all of you once again for not posting updates yesterday and day before. It’s been a rushy week I have to admit. The landlord kicked me and my girlfriend out of the apartment because of my inability to keep my mouth shut and just obey landlords crazy terms. What can I say, [...]

“The Contrast Asynchrony” optical illusion has been created by ShapiroLab enthusiasts. While the effect has been known for some time, variations of images, applications and games that give the best insight have been popping out regularly. This variation is surely my favorite.

I found out today about this wavy collection, which consists of three different variations of our well known Floating Rice illusion. You have probably seen still images of this type before, and understand that they only appear to move (in a fashion of Rotating Snakes illusion), but the effect is non the less intriguing. To [...]

Just found this animation in my mailbox which was submitted by one of our fans – Brad Snyder. I’m not exactly sure how it functions, but the illusion should be similar with our famous Spinning Girl illusion. Apparently the gem we see below is rotating in only one direction. Because it is shallow, it gives [...]
