<p>What you should do is check out the the two <a href="http://www.moillusions.com/2006/05/shaking-matchbox-holophonic-audio.html">matchboxes</a> on your right. I can&#8217;t imagine how capable the person trying to persuade you into believing this should be, but what I can tell you is how it would be a perfectly sane claim. I&#8217;ll take it for granted you trust me on this one, specially if you take into account length and nature of our mutual friendship.</p>
<p>If all this still isn&#8217;t enough, let me convince you by <a href="http://www.moillusions.com/2007/10/twin-tables-optical-illusion.html">sharing this strong proof</a>, one you won&#8217;t be able to ignore. This simple <a href="http://www.moillusions.com/tag/gif">animated <em>.gif</em></a> below, shows in practice how both of the matchbox sides are actually identical. My intuition tells me our brain prevents us to see them as they are, based on the depth it perceives, just like we explained few days ago in &#8220;<a href="http://www.moillusions.com/2011/02/crazy-sphere-brothers.html"><em>Sphere Brothers</em></a>&#8221; article.</p>

<p>&#8220;This one is so amazing. You have to listen to it with headphones. A shaking matchbox is moved around your entire body. It&#8217;s so realistic!&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;font-family:arial;">This effect works best if you put on your headphones on. Download and play the <a href="http://www.moillusions.com/wp-content/uploads/matchbox.mp3">Shaking Matchbox mp3</a>.</span></p>
