Floating tap illusionCategory: Impossible Objects | Added: April 7, 2011 |
9 commentsHere is an unusual spectacle that can be found at a water park called Aqualand in Puerto de Santa Maria, Spain. Visitors to the park are treated to a view of this faucet that appears to be floating in mid air above a pool in to which the water is flowing. The secret to this illusion lies in a pipe that is expertly concealed within the flow of water and which both holds the faucet in the air and supplies the water pouring from it.

This illusion won the Best Visual Illusion of the Year contest in 2007.
