Optical Illusions with an Einstein Mask!

video link for mobile devices

If you know me, you know I like a good optical illusion. This one is exceptionally mind-stretching. The way we are programmed to read faces plays into this in a big way.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I have. I’ve watched it several times, each one equally astounding to me.

Happy Monday, friends!

Optical Illusion: Shifting center?

Check out this illusion. I promise there’s no animation involved here. Just a still image.

While looking at the center pattern, move your head or scroll up and down.

The center pattern moved, right?

Not actually.

That’s why they call it an illusion.

I like this one. What do you think?

This will mess with your mind.

Perception is a powerful thing. This video proves it. Everything’s fine until :32 into it.

Can you say anamorphic illusion?

Personally, I’m still recovering.

It does makes me think, though.

I wonder about the thing that scares you most about stepping out. I wonder is it is an anamorphic illusion, too. You know, distorted. Not what it seems.

I’m pretty sure it is.

View it from a different spot.

Turn it around.

You should change your angle.

Up higher works best.

 

Optical Illusion: which one is in front?

Sometimes your eyes will play tricks on you.

So…

Which one of these buildings is in front of the other? I’m sure there’s a right answer. I’m just not sure, myself.

What do you think?

Best. Prank. Ever.

Not only is this a cool prank, but a really clever way to advertise the quality of a product.

Still smiling.

And really glad I wasn’t one of the ones caught on camera.

Optical Illusion: Perfect Circles

Here is an optical illusion. This may mess with you a bit. The picture below is of two perfect concentric circles. But how?

 

Here is the proof. It’s the exact same image as above, but with perfect red circles to prove it.

Optical Illusion: Count the dots!

Look at this picture for a few seconds.

Can you count the black dots in it?

How many are there?

Are you sure?

By the way: this is a still picture, not animated in any way.

Cool illusion, right?
