This one looks pretty cool! Animation you see, is a simple composition of few frames that gives you feeling this lil’ fireplace is jumping out of it’s surrounding making it look 3D. I Love it!

Edit: I’m having troubles hosting gif’s. Does anyone know for unlimited bandwidth solution to host my animations? Blogger doesn’t accept animated images, so if anyone has website that could host this kind of art, please let me know. Don’t worry it’s rather small file – for example this one below is only 97kb. Please let me know if you have some solution.

We have fans even in Japan! Cozymax sent in these two photos few weeks ago.

This is what Cozymax wrote: “The second photo is like a light-saber of STARWARS, but actually this is fluor lamp. This photographed man is me. The first photo is like a wizard, but this is also an optical illusion. This is my friend who is not wizard :p

These photos were taken in the calcareous cave in Japan. There were a lot of optical illusions in there. I hope you like these photos. You can use them in your website if you want. When you picked my photos up for your website, let me introduce it in my weblog Cozymax.org (unfortunately, this is written in Japanese!) You might be tired by reading this e-mail because my English is very bad! If so, please watch only the photos because any languages are not needed for watching the photos. Photo can eliminate language barrier.”

Don’t forget to open this article to see 2nd picture.

David Horm sent this few weeks ago, but I noticed it in my mailbox just recently. David: “Here’s a little conversation I had with my friend while walking pass this sign in Seattle:

Friend: What the F***, Mac Store?
Me: Yeah, there’s always been a Mac store here
.
Friend: No, that sign says “WTF Mac Store”

Me: No it doesn’t, it says “The Mac Store”

…and so we stood there arguing for another 2 minutes about what the sign says. When he showed me how he read THE as WTF, I though it’d be a cool optical illusion you could show to your readers.”

My question is: How do you see it? I had some troubles reading THE, since WTF was first variation I recognized. Jump inside this post to see outlined letters for both cases!

Simmilar to Still-Life Preformances by Johan Lorbeer, this Yogi guy manages to levitate infront of large audience. If you can’t figure out what’s the secret behind his levitation, read the comments in Johan Lorber post, and I believe you’ll come to solution. This picture was submitted by Laura Adomaityte and this is what she wrote: “This photo of Flying Yogi was taken in Amsterdam few days ago by my friend! Awesome, isn’t? Best regards!”. What’s with all those levitation illusions lately, seems these tricks are becomming popular every day!

I’ll let Charlie Tyack explain this illusion by himself! This is what he wrote: “Hi there, I thought I might submit these photos in case you would like to stick them on your blog. It’s me and my pal Paul pretending to levitate whilst dressed as conspicuous spies at Duxford Air Museum in the UK. If you do put it on, please link to my website: www.charlietyack.com Thanks!”

Another impossible object for you! Am not sure which number in row this one is, but anyway here it is… This one was drawn and submitted by fan called Alex. This is what he said: “I drew this impossible illusion in canvas (a drawing program). Every time I see an impossible illusion on your web site I rush home and draw.”
