Equus Illusion

Miriam mailed me this poster for a play called “Equus”. She said: “I know there’s been a lot of controversy over Daniel Radcliffe’s appearance in Equus. But this poster advertisement is just so neat!” If you don’t recognize the name Radcliffe, it’s that little prick that starred in Harry Potter sequels. I never liked the guy, nor any of that Harry Potter nonsense. If you like it, then please don’t be offended and just ignore me, but I always considered Harry Potter and it’s author, a cheap Tolkien / Lord Of The Rings rip-off! This poster, on the other hand is quite nice. Can you see a horse in it? I see two! ;) Even though first I thought there was a bull in it… More similar stuff inside billboards category.

  1. I can only see 1. but i thought it was a bull at 1st… then i thought the guys body was just screwed up with holes in his chest and his legs cut off.

    But now i can see 1 horse.

  2. the illusion is that it is a horses head and a guy’s body, but there is also a second illusion:
    Daniel radcliff’s neck looks like another face looking at you

  3. Hey, what’s wrong with Harry Potter?!
    Well, we all have our opinions.
    It looks really strange. I didn’t know what it was at first. Than I looked an saw a horse.

  4. It looks like a man with a deformed lower torso, then it lt looks like a steer.
    But I thought “equass” was in the horse categore\y…equine, equestrian, etc. baffled, but curious!

  5. thats daniel radcliffe, but if you look closely, theres a horse’s head imposed through his ribs and muscles and such. and i dont know why people are throwing such a fit over this play anyways. i say good for him for branching out and away from the screen and doing some live acting :)

  6. Obviously it’s an altered picture. Dan’s pelvic bones could not be that pointy or close together and still have him walk.

  7. Daniel Redcliffe is showing his audience that he can not only be an innocent wiz, he has taken a drastic turn in his carreer, will take part in cotrovercial play “Equus”.

  8. It’s not a cow, bull or deer… it’s a horse! The play Equus is about a boy and his messed up relationship with horses.

  9. It’s Radcliffe with a horse super-imposed onto him. The play is about a guy who has “sexual conections” with horses.

    IT IS A HORSE DAMMIT

  10. First off- yes the creature is a horse, because that is what the play is about. Secondly, Radcliffe is NOT having any “sexual connections” with any of the horses. Prehapes if you knew what the play was about you would know that.
    Thirdly, no one cares if you don’t like the Harry Potter series or not. You don’t need to go on some big rant because it’s not you’re thing. We’re not her to read your stupid opinions– just to see the interesting illusions. Besides- “Equus” has nothing to do with Harry Potter, it just happens to have Daniel Radcliffe in it.

  11. This isn’t actually Daniel Radcliffe – it’s just an edited picture and someone thought it was quite funny, seeing what happened in Eqqus and what was said about Daniel. I also see that this is quite cool :D. But I saw the pic about 6 months or so before the play, and it was exactly the same as this, so it is not Daniel Radcliffe. I’m not some stupid smarty pants, just thought I should make a point, lol. ^_^

  12. I see a lot of hidden illusions in this pic, but no horse. At first it looked like a man standing with his arms out and his head back. Then it looks like his face is looking at you and he’s wearing a hat. So his chin in one way is a hat in another (or his hair). Then I thought it looked like his back instead of the front of his chest. The overall shape looks like the head of a bull sort of. It also looks like he’s standing in fire and possibly made of smoke. I guess it could possibly be a horse’s head looking straight on, but it really doesn’t look like that.

  13. It’s a horse. That’s the whole poin of the play. He molests horses.

    And harry potter a cheap Lord of the rings rip off??? Have you even read Harry Potter? That’s like saying spiderman is a cheap rip-off of charlotte’s web. They are so vastly different. It seems like such an ignorant comment.

  14. In the play, Daniel Radcliffe plays a guy who gorges(sp?) horses eyes out. I haven’t seen the play, so I don’t know the whole plot, but I know he does that. It’s a horse. And as far as I know, he does NOT have ‘sexual relations’ with horses.

  15. k who ever the hell thinks thats a bull photo shoped in the pic needs an eye exam. then if u dont get if after that the word equus should give it away. equus means horse for all the stupid people out there!

  16. cool….

    as far as harry potter is concerned though… i hate him too!!!! i totally think that harry potter is retarted and should be banished off the face of the earth…i swear all those ppl stressin over harry potter movies and such need to geta life….its just about a gender confused boy ina witch school thats in a love triangle with some guy and girl…..but of course that is just my opinion……

  17. hey, you don’t have to like harry potter, but you don’t have to spout off about your dislike either.
    have you even read one of the novels? i doubt it.
    get off of your soapbox and post more often.

  18. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

    You people are CRAZY Harry Potter fans.

    I liked the books, but come on, WHO CARES if other people dont like them? Its not like this is a serious issue. They are childrens books.

    And also: It is a horse’s face on his torso. The play is called “Equus” which means horse.

    But it does look like a bull- his arms would be the horns.

  19. Harry potter is not anything like lord of the rings. It seems magic is it’s only similarity. Besides, it’s not Jesus on a cross, it’s Radcliffe, who’s….part horse.

  20. Have you read any of the Harry Potter books. I’m guessing not/ I have and also read the Lord of the rings. Harry Potter is not a rip-off of Lord of the rings.

    You could say that Lord of the rings is a rip off of all things Norse.

    On the other hand, the poster is a good illusion

  21. Doesn’t anyone know how amazing this play really is?
    **SPOILER**
    It’s about a boy who is mentally disturbed by his mother who instills religion into his head and his atheist father. Through seeing a psychiatrist, it is revealed that the boy mixed up his love of horses with religion. Equus is his God, sort of like Jesus. When he tries to be normal for once and have a relationship with a girl, all he can think about is how he is betraying his God Equus, so he angrily gouges all six horses in the stables eyes out. It was the most powerful, emotional, and mind-blowing piece of theater that I have ever seen.

  22. there are really 2 horse heads and 1 cow head, the 2 horse heads are if you half the cow head. the cow head is the head on the torso, it also looks like a bull cuz of the arms are like the horns.

  23. dude I like danille radcliffe and what the heck is that its gross I see it but seriosly dont those guys have better stuff to do than make fun of people

  24. omg i never noticed a horse…I SEE IT!!! whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    equus is latin and I LOVE HP AND DANIEL RADCLIFFE ok yeah wow i only see one horse though

  25. Man! that guy “Anonymous” sure writes a lot of stuff, eh.

    I’m totally with you on Harry Potter. Shes an opportunist. Nothing more. There’ll be no “HP” remakes in 20 years… whereas, Tolkien (not at all similar in style, genre, talent, and depth) is timeless.

  26. POOR poor horsey trapped in ugly mans body :(
    and actually Equus comes from the word equine which is the horse family also containing donkeys, zebras ect.

    1. i pretty much agree. But what i see is 2 pigs. one at each side [look sideways and the pelvis is the noses] and a horse and a cow. THIS PICTURE IS SO FREAKING CREEPY HAHA !
