Ames Room Video Illusion

(4 votes)

Are these guys under some magic spell? Probably they are, but if they weren’t this effect could also be achieved without movie magic, or complex special effects David Copperfield used! It is called Ames Room, and I posted some photos of it already in the past. Here’s how the story of Ames goes – In [...]

Small Heads Or Big Bodies?

Hehe, just stumbled upon this funny picture. I’m sure that all of you who attended elementary school understand this, since the illusion occurred because of simple physics. The water acts as a magnifying glass, it reflects, and also breaks light beams. If you didn’t knew this by now, you can learn it through our user [...]

Just to inform you, I updated another category with recent optical illusions. This time it was our famous Billboards section. As I asked you in my previous post, if you have few spare minutes, check the category I mentioned, and see if all the new links function properly (no broken links, false forwards etc..). Don’t [...]

Feels good receiving all those fan letters daily. Thank you all, you are wonderful public! One of the most recent ones was sent by Claire. She also submitted an illusion of her own. Here’s what she wrote: “Your site is so much fun to visit. My sister just sent me this picture of her [...]

Ebbinghaus Illusion

What you see below is another example of the Ebbinghaus illusion, also known as “same size” phenomenon. Although, in perspective the sphere in the right far end seems larger, in reality both spheres are exactly the same size. We saw exactly the same effect before with our funny nuns. Another example was little more scary [...]

Edoardo Accenti and his wife took a trip to Paris. During that trip they made pretty cool relative size illusion using a role model from Edoardo father’s photo, taken 40 years before at the same spot! Looks wonderful how these two photos make the time appear still. Below you can see a vintage illusion from [...]

Brazil’s World Cup Illusion

Andreas Hauer Piekarz from Paraná, Brazil took this magnificent photo of him holding a Nature’s Cup. It’s widely known that Brazil won countless World Cups in football (soccer), so I believe that this illusions is more than appropriate. The only thing I don’t understand, why this sport isn’t popular in North America as well, USA [...]

Natural Lighter Illusion

What we have hear is another optical illusion from Asia. To be more exact, this fellow lighting a cigarette is from Korea. It’s so simple, yet so beautiful (the illusion, I mean). Still, my advice to him would be: “Stop smoking, it’s bad for you!” But who am I to say that, when I have [...]

Illusions From Korea

Friend of mine mentioned these optical illusions crated by Koreans. I had fun time seeing them, but what amazed me, is that they took some of my optical illusions as inspiration! Boy, I didn’t know this blog is visited even in the far east. Great! You can easily see that the model is similar to [...]

Jordon Smith decided to play with photoshop or some other photo editing software, and created alternative version of Girl Holding a Moon. Jordon: “The girl looks like she is actually holding the sun and then the moon effect was then photoshopped in after taken. I played with the contrast and brightness and got this shot.”
