Here’s another cool illusion, coming straight from Archimedes’ Laboratory. Same as many before, this illusion was created by master of illusions, mister G. Sarcone. The problem is, I only got it to work once. So how this works? Apparently, if you concentrate strong enough on one of the lobster’s eyes, after some time it will seem that the broken piece of the plate rejoins the rest. At least the outer black rim should appear as perfect (non-broken) circle. As Sarcone explains, this amusing effect occurs because our brain tends to iron out broken lines. Did you manage to get this work?
I did it 3 times! i could do more but its boring
lol i agree
It works !!!, it’s not broken anymore !
Worked for me, provided the gaze was rock-steady. The slightest flicker and – whoops, bang goes the plate again!
cooooollll
Made my eyes hurt lol, but i got it to work where I couldnt see the break
ya i know!!! i had to do this thing with my eyes, that you know that u get when you concentrate on your finger in front of you, and kinda try to look THROUGH the finger, and then it kinda goes double and transparent?? try it ppl. cool but obvious.
Weird! I looked at the right eye for just a few seconds and the black line became whole. I think this is a good one.
Love it!
Very interesting what our eyes / brain does in certain situations.
no… doesnt work…
Just use Glue.
I just have to concentrate on the lobster.
i got it to work sooper cool
Interesting….. -_-
I’ll have to paint a crustacean on the plate I broke yesterday.
awesome pretty kool.
yup it works
Wow! Not only did I see the dish come back together, I’m now seeing the afterimage of a blue lobster floating around in the air. Cool!
Worked great for me – took about 10 seconds, then the circle seemed whole. I went for the left eye…
exact same for me- left eye ten seconds. works every time, but kinda lame.
i saw it instantly when i look at the eye… but maybe because i have small glasses that help when i’m staring forward… but the edges or not effected… so my brain might be use to fitting them together
worked! but I have an oval lens in my left eye so things like this seem to work easily for me…
cool illusion, i wish i could do that in real life with all the plates i’ve broken…
I got the black line to fix, but if I blink or moved my eyes a little, it broke again. Cute.
While looking at the eyes the entire black line became distorted which did make it look like it was unbroken. The same effect occurred with the white line.
Just a lame picture to me.. Without the lobster thing the black line will become one as well I think, it’s just what you put on your plate :)
i didnt lyk this one<Lameee
its worked for me but then i tried again then the plate disappeared….. is that a bad sign?????????
It’s true!! It’s actually works!
Black line becoming solid was a secondary effect for me – first thing that happened was white line vanished completely, leaving lobster on a plain blue plate with a v at the top…
Reminds me of when I was on the loo as a kid and used to stare at the tiles on the floor in the bathroom until the gaps disappeared
it’s working :bb
I agree, made my eyes hurt and one little flicker and it’s gone, amazing!
It works for me, I like it.
Oh wow! So cool! I can do it many times! :D
i saw it…but the trick hurts the eyes. =>
it also causes a negative image even when you look away – and the dish is also whole
:O I know what I’m gonna tell my mom, if I one day break a plate :P
i think whenyou foucs hard enough it just makes your eyes go blury and link
That is always amazing to me. How the brain can adjust and change something like that intrigues me. You would think if the brain could do something like that we would not have Alzheimer’s, but I guess only healthy brains can piece the plate back together. (?)
This is really stupid ok all yall
nice.. if you stare hard and steady enough, the black circle begins to dissappear too. It also gives you an after effect when looking at a white screen afterwards..
It worked for me……..over and over again. The entire plate become whole. Very interesting.
B
Yeah…. it’s not amazing but it’s pretty cool
Yes it works for me! Except there’s one piece i can’t get to fully conform to the rest, and thats the diagonal “/” piece, i can get the “\” to work, and the inner circle to work too! but not “/” :P
Very nice illusion.
This is pretty cool. Kinda see the unbroken line out of my peripheral vision but if I try to look at it or shift my vision its gone.
Yes, dropping a lobster on a plate can break it except for Melmac or Correlle. I would try to make yours come together but I just can’t look into its eyes without feeling sorry for it.
It does work, but nothing very impressive there
sick!
it works pree good :)
Awesome! I just wish it would happen in real life
I dont know how to submit an entry. But this video I saw on youtube is just fantastic

easy…. :P
I’m gonna start doing this with the dishes I break!
Worked for me me. Not just the black line, but all the circles. Maybe this is why I don’t see all the broken things that my wife puts on the honey-do list. I focus on something else and everything else seems fine. Just a thought.
Lame….
i got it to work but then the outer ring vanished! then the back ground went blue! this is amazing!
i got it to work, but the i couldnt even see the outer ring
i got it to work well and fast…
I got half to work…And then none to work.
this is amazing! i got it to work numerous times and quickly too!
coool
I stared an the lower eye and the outer circle (black line) started shaking a lot!
I Still Don’t Get It
i got it to work! :D
cool! it worked for me!
worked for your mom too!!
wo thats weird
I got it to work, but I would quickly look up at the rim just from reflex and then I would have to do it again :)
i got it to work quick and easy :D
I’ve seen this one before. You look at the center eye and the outer circle will blur and correct itself.
it worked for me :) i looked in the bottom eye and the black ring started shaking and corrected itself, and then the backround went blue
omg it didnt work and now i see an afterimage of the stupid lobster! im only eight you know so i dont say bad words like ( i am just gonna copy and paste from stuff i found ) ass OK i say BUTT lol
Wow this is weird..
i got it to work like twice. and then i looked away and saw a lobster.
After 2 minutes looking at the lobster’s eyes, it started to laugh at me!
Now I have a lobster after-image…
I actually watched the lighter blue rings dissolve into each other creating one solid blue plate with the black outline as it mended itself.
Yeah it works each time I concentrate on the eye of the lobster
hello,ooooo
Yupp! Did it!
