  1. It’s quite simple actually. the illusion is that the one in front is a side of the box, whereas it as actaully the bottom.
    the illusion dissolves if you have atop veiw. the supposed front “side” is actually part of the bottom.
    BACK

  2. yeah, i think this can be made from a box. just cut out a triangular piece from the front vertical side, angling from the lower corner, up and left so that the slant matches the line of the bottom of the right vertical side. wow, that was confusing to even type.

  3. I knew how he drew it. It’s simple though. He just drew a regular rectangular cardboard, and overlapped one side over the other

  4. It’s a 2D drawing so it doesn’t seem as confusing as most of the other illusions. Pretty cool though. Oh and Darkholm, Dudet007 is right. Don’t spoil the fun.

  5. This is not impossible , all you do is cut the edges of the front side so that it falls inside the box, and it makes the exact shape. But without cutting anything, yes it is impossible.

  6. yes, one dimensional drawings can always be made to depict impossible three dimensional geometrics; see MC Escher
