Pyramid Pillar IllusionCategory: Double Meanings | Added: September 26, 2009 |
18 commentsThis photograph taken in Bad Langensalza, Germany shows one of many pillars placed around a fountain. The illusion here is that the pillar can either appear to be hollow or to have a pyramid on the top depending on which way you look at it. The shadow on the right gives it away slightly but its still quite convincing.
Drink Driving Sign IllusionCategory: Moving Images | Added: September 24, 2009 |
17 commentsThis sign post designed to stop people from drink driving is a unique take on the "waves" illusion, if you look closely you'll see the words on the sign moving in a wave-like fashion to simulate how you might perceive things when intoxicated.

Rickroll IllusionCategory: Afterimages | Added: September 22, 2009 |
38 commentsThis afterimage is based on one one of the most recent internet trends "rickrolling" in which a link to another web site or video directs instead of Rick Astley's 1987 "Never Gonna Give You Up" music video on Youtube. To see this image stare at the cross in the center for about 30 seconds and then look away at a blank surface - blinking repeatedly can help to make it easier to see.

Nail Biter Bag IllusionCategory: 3D Illusions | Added: September 20, 2009 |
6 commentsHere's a novel way to promote a product, this carrier bag for something called "Stop 'n Grow" presumably designed to stop compulsive nail-biting has its handles positioned so that it looks as though the hand of the person carrying it is inside the mouth of the woman on the side of the bag. Its an original idea and a nice way to get attention to what you are advertising.
Cat Dance IllusionCategory: Double Meanings | Added: September 18, 2009 |
29 commentsSpecial thanks to artist Patrick Trotter for sending in to us this picture he's painted of a black cat. Which way is the cat facing ? It depends on how you look at it, like many other "double meaning" illusions the cat can appear to be facing away from you or towards you. If you have trouble seeing it the other way try gazing at the image for a while - you should see the cat suddenly switch directions, see if you can get the image to switch back and forth.
