Jill has already introduced herself in her first post, but I felt it would be proper if I did another introduction myself.

Kudos to Marcin Ciślak from Krakow for discovering this amusing street performer, and taking a photo of him and then sharing it with our community! After some debate, we’ve concluded how these guys manage to fool us with impression they’re able to levitate. It all started with Johan Lorbeer and Flying Yogi. Remember those guys? [...]

Ellen (erwtj3 from previous post) pointed me to another funny optical illusion. I definitely agree with her evaluation how this probably isn’t the best illusion around, and even though quite obvious, it’s still one in a million shot.

I’m not exactly sure if Jerome Santucci discovered this interesting phenomenon, or did he just report what he learned. Apparently, if you observe Mount Rushmore from certain point, you can see that four former US presidents aren’t the only ones present.

In short, it makes your brain/eyes play a trick on you, making you “feel” that the photo on the right is slightly slanted. In reality it’s not. How can it be that the both [...]

Here’s another submission I overlooked back in 2008. This one was sent in by Andrew Griffiths, who has seen this type of illusion hundreds of times around the net, but never in real life! I, myself couldn’t think of a better example to showcase, than a regular place I visit – a toilet! Remember when [...]
