Concentrate on the red spot in the middle of the rectangle, and watch gray stripes disappear! This one is really cool, eventhough simmilar illusions have been posted in the past. Can you explain why this effect happens? I would really like to know why! P.S. Due to popular demand, Mac games are bout to [...]

Expanding Line Illusion

Few days ago user caled Comanche sent us this interesting optical illusion. At first I didn’t notice the illusion behind it, but next time I saw it, I noticed it immediately (eventhough, only by pure accident). Try to look at the image, then close your eyes, then open them again, and as your eyes try [...]

Hydroplane Optical Illusion

Remember “Baby Illusion” ?, Well, this one’s the same. Just try fitting both pictures in one screen. First look at the 2nd picture. You will notice some difference in both sides of the hydroplane image – right side of it looks yellowish. Now stare at the dot in the first picture for about 30 seconds [...]

Disappearing Act Illusion

Allright, stare intently at the red dot in the center of the left block for a minute. Once you’ve done this, look over to the center of the right square. It should act weird – by fading out and ‘flickering’. If you move your head closer and further from the monitor (while focussing in the [...]
