Same Shade Diamonds Our newest optical illusion.
We just created it on 10/10/2009
Wow! It will look like the diamonds on the top are much darker than the diamonds on the bottom.
You won't believe how amazing this incredible optical illusion is.
Watch as the scary faces disappear before your eyes.
The longer you stare the stronger the illusion. Perfect to send to your friends for Halloween!
The Obama Illusion
We made this original Barack Obama Illusion and then we made it famous!
Stare for about 30 seconds and you'll see his ghostly image appear on the wall!
Valentines Day Love Test Illusion
This is one of our most highly rated illusions by our visitors. Watch the hearts disappear before your very eyes!
This is really cool. You'll start to see the hearts disappear as you fixate at the center. Don't miss it.
Moving Spiral Illusion
A version of our original moving spiral illusion was recently published in a popular college textbook.
It uses multiple illusory principles to give the illusion that it is moving when it is absolutely not moving. Big enough to be your desktop background!
