Hidden Man Optical Illusion

Yes, I know it’s hard to beat hidden Coffee Man illusion, the legendary one on this site, but this one works in a similar way. If you aren’t paranoid, you shouldn’t have much problems spotting an old man’s face hidden in this pile of pebbles. On the other hand, I’ve read somewhere that paranoid people have problems spotting some illusions and playing “hidden object” games, while on the other hand they can out-perform us, regular and sane people in detecting abstract meanings, and solving abstract puzzles. If someone has more info on this topic, be sure to share. One thing we managed to confirm, is that color-blind users had problems solving these numbers. Are you among them?

Sorry for posting four articles today, at least you’ll have something to do when you come to the site. I feel abnormally inspired today, probably all this had something to do with recent digg effect :) I also noticed that now, when we have over thousand of articles in the archives, it became more easy to link words in the text to properly targeted illusions. So, all these blue links in every illusion article can bring you to even more related, similar and targeted illusions from the past. Check them and share your thoughts…

  1. not bad at all. This however, is very easy to spot. You can see the lines where it was photoshop. But i assure you that i would be pretty freaked out if I saw that walking aross the beach. I would think that i was insane or loosing my mind…….. ;’0

  2. This was a very easy one, but at least everybody’s not claiming first post or bragging about how fast they found it.

  3. …. it’s more a photoshop thing than a illusion ^_^.

    Give me 10 min and i can do a better one ;)

  4. Ok, this one has in fact nothing really hidden… But then I came to the coffee man illusion (I have not seen it before). Coming with today’s illusion in mind, it was very very hard to find the face… We should always free our minds from direction!

  5. I have to Say I love this site but the negitive comments are really getting to me I can’t belive how many there are daily. I just have to say maybe we should be thankfull to the person who put this site up and not always put them down

  6. This person just took a picture of some rocks and another of an old man off of the internet, put the rocks on photoshop for one layer, then made another layer for the old man, used some filters to make the old man’s face faded, then put them together and posted it on here. I think this one’s pretty stupid; I wouldn’t say it’s an optical illusion at all…

    Illusion: something that deceives by producing a false or misleading impression of reality.

    This picture doesn’t really fit that definition, wouldn’t you say so?
