If you wonder yourself how come I’ve posted Mural optical illusion two days in a row, the answer is more than simple. Yesterday’s post inspired me to refurbish Murals category, and to give it new shine. I have collected all the mural posts from this site’s archive, and arranged them to show little icon and [...]

Optical Illusions in real life are great, specially if someone makes them interactive or even better – useful. Best example are those masked Cell-phone trees. Today’s post is similar in its nature.

One person emailed me (or left a comment) about this awesome illusion called “The Invisible Price”. Unfortunately, I can’t retry his notes, but if I remember correctly this is the original illusion of this type. It was created 200 years ago and can be found painted on a wall of a nursery in some children [...]
