Gala Placidia Face Optical Illusion

One of our fans, mr. Jacenty found what appears to be the best hollow face optical illusion up to date. The hollow face illusion, as mentioned more than few times, gives you impression that the object you are seeing is embossed, while in reality it’s embedded. Sometimes the illusion works vice-versa as well. To remind [...]

Optical Illusion by Yamaha

Suzanne pointed me to this video commercial recently, created exclusively for Adelaide’s leading motorcycle superstore – Coast Yamaha. The motorcycle featured in video below was loaned from Clive Langley. I have to admit, I never expected such a twist!
I have to give credit to this motorcycle company – They truly understand the power of optical [...]

blue-triangles-illusion

This is a diamond variation of the Craik O’Brien Cornsweet illusion. What you have to do, is to look at each row of diamonds below. Does each row appear darker than the row above it? It sure does to me. In reality, all of the diamond shapes present in this figure are in fact identical [...]

An interesting ad for Rimmel quick dry nail polish, placed in public location

What I’ve noticed is no matter how some illusions tend to be better than the other, it absolutely has no influence on number of comments. See the Jack Daniels post below. I thought it was one of my best finds, you seemed to agree (based on ratings), but still the post only got 8 comments. [...]

Impossible Columns Optical Illusion

To share some background news, the story is I finally gave up (to all the pressure from my friends)  and started playing some online poker. What I found out, is that there are literally thousands of websites promising huge bonuses for new players, but for now I only had luck with this Sports Betting website [...]

Open the image in full-size to see all of it!

In spite there was another 3d chalk drawing article posted few days ago, when I found these two shots, they really looked somehow special. The artist behind “The Sink” is a person that goes under nickname mydogsighs. He created this piece at the Southsea Skate Park in south England. Is it only me or can [...]

Hmm, something seems wrong here...

Two days ago, me and my better half returned from vacation. I thought I would immediately start on the site. Post new illusions, add new functionality, etc… I forgot one little detail: Each year I return home, somewhere near the end of August, Ragweed (ambrosia ?) season starts. This little plant is a real pest! [...]

There is something extremely sexy about this lamp! What if the pic was turned upside down...?

I’m still not hundred percent certain why I kept this optical illusion private, but somehow I never gained enough courage to share it with you – my audience. Probably because the topic was somehow edgy, and balanced between SFW (safe for work) and NSFW. Anyhow, here it goes… The picture you see below circled the [...]

Which dot is central?

Every now and then we get wave of new visitors (and this just happened few days ago when BBC mentioned us on their channel). I feel its decent to introduce our new readers to some of the features on this site. Others will probably find few interesting facts here as well. So let’s begin:
Before we [...]

Everything can be seen in two ways, but what about mustaches?

If there is any particular topic I receive record number of submissions for (more than cloud formations) – it would be “Jesus”. It appears people see Jesus everywhere. But if you think our savior returned by burning himself into your toast, that doesn’t automatically qualify it as regular optical illusion.
Still, some of these submissions DO [...]
