Optical Illusion: Get Your Mind Out Of the Gutter

It appears you actually DO pay attention to what I write alongside optical illusions. I never knew my words could motivate you to skyrocket the number of ratings (yesterday’s post received over 100 user ratings), and grow the amount of Facebook Connect logins to such a high level. So this is what being “powerful” feels [...]

Illusive Triangle Optical Illusion

Hmm, apparently you weren’t as enthusiastic as I was concerning my previous post. I don’t see why, but I’m an individual, and you are the deciding jury. Those rating stars keep me informed about your likes and dislikes, handy – ayeh? Probably you won’t adore this one neither, but let me tell you that if [...]

Be carefull, there just might be more than one answer to this illusion!

Alert! I’m slowly running out of quality optical illusions. There is “submit illusion” link at the footer of this site, but I think I’ll add another, more prominent button somewhere at the top. The problem with user submissions is that very often the photo submitted is too much blurry, illusion it holds is not so [...]

Two Heads are better than one, ayeh?

I heard some advices how I should develop “Optical Illusion of The Day” app for iPhone/iPod Touch. Are you kidding me? We already did this :) It was our main news months ago. If you look a little bit closer (just below the header), you may even notice the “iphone app” link. Now that we [...]

Ambiguous Violin Player

Japanese artist Shigeo Fukuda is the most prolific and versatile of all the illusion artists. Fukuda’s sculptures and installments were some of the most important additions to our optical illusions site. It is worth mentioning that his artistic opus is more than incredible, and that his works are displayed all over the world. Still, Shigeo [...]

Wait a minute... What?

Update – I just learned that the artist behind this is Nagfa, you can find another interesting photo on his blog that works in a simmilar fashion.
I forgot to post the newest optical illusion yesterday, which I hope you shall forgive me. What I was doing instead, I was playing with some universal widget creating [...]

Move the Glass from the Tray

Author of this optical illusion is G. Sarcone from Archimedes Lab. Can you find a way to completely remove one of the glasses from this blue tray, while minimizing your effort? Before I show you the solution (after the jump), I’d like to share some site news with you. Am not sure what is happening, [...]

Can you find the optical illusion in this picture?

Before we start, I’d like to inform you (if you haven’t already heard this), that Facebook recently gave us an option to choose more simple vanity URLs. What does this mean? Instead of having your Facebook profile go something like: facebook.com/01332dsdsssd53543, now you can update to something more simple, and have your profile link make [...]

Sandro Del Prete - Crusader Optical Illusion

We’ve been posting Sandro Del Prete’s optical illusion artworks for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately he was never properly credited for those mega popular illusions he created. When I learned that he was the artist behind all those pieces of art, I’ve browsed through every each of his illusions from the past and [...]

Smiling watch illusion

I have just remembered this cheap little trick a friend of mine, Boris told me once. Try looking at any watch store window, or if you are inpatient, and  wish to check this right now, you can use Google image search. Enter the search term “watch”, and search for wrist watches  or clocks. You will [...]
