It’s not often that I stumble upon an illusion I can’t figure out. What you see below isn’t some team building assignment, but rather an optical illusion. I assure you it’s not manipulated. This is really puzzling, don’t you agree? Your previous assignments were much easier you have to admit. Like the time when I [...]

A reader sent me this photo almost two months ago. It’s improved version of Sharp Dual-view TV. Even earlier, about year ago I posted the original illusion, not knowing it was not an illusion at all! It’s some new hi-tech gadget you can actually buy. Boy, we had some debate back then. Just to make [...]

This one is nice. It took me a while to see whats the illusion in this simple wooden puzzle. After a while I noticed, but it would be much easier if I simply moved my head away from the monitor. I believe this hint was enough for those of you who didn’t see it :) [...]

Another wooden puzzle! This one was submitted by Joseph Lanius. Joseph said: “I noticed this today, and I thought you might like it. It’s a toy creation that anyone can make with some time on their hands, and it will impress people easily. The ball can roll freely up and down, but it can’t escape [...]

Well, actually it doesn’t work really, but makes a really cool bragging device! This post is an addition to our “Free iPhone” optical illusion. As you can see, it can easily be cut, fold and ready to go. This is not an illusion, but consider this more as my gift to you, for being [...]

It has passed some time from our last transparent screen illusion. Ceanne got a Free iPhone from the “Only Available on Your Computer!” contest. Ceanne said: “I figured this one out while trying to imitate “Man Holding Calculator.” The other illusion, Girl Holding Calculator – This is just another example of “Man Holding Calculator 2” [...]

This one is unique! In my knowledge, it’s the first optical illusion rug in the world :) The squares pictured inside the rug look somehow distorted and bent, but it’s only illusion effect. I believe it’s because of the colorful lines and colors that the squares don’t appear lined up. If you open this thread, [...]

Remember our little dragon? It was one of the coolest illusions, that you could even print out, cut and do it yourself. There was even super-cool video showing you the effect. Well I just found this similar little character. It’s not so illusionary as dragons can be, but still you can print this hansom fellow [...]

Amanda Gould emailed me very original question today: “Hy Vurdlak! Christmas is near, and I would love to present original gifts to my beloved ones. What kind of optical illusion present can you suggest? I believe this would be pretty original idea if you made some kind of list of original illusion and no-illusion holly [...]

Every now and then we feature some rare optical illusion gadget on this website. They are rare products, but give me much joy when I come across them! Op-Art pioneer Victor Vasarely was profoundly influenced by Bauhaus, constructivism, cubism and surrealism from the early days. He began his unmistakable geometric abstraction from the 1930’s [...]
