This is cool. Answer a bunch of questions and it’ll pin your accent. Got it perfect for me. Take some time to try it out. Takes about 5 minutes.

What I didn’t know was that he didn’t just have the show on Nickelodian in the 80’s, he had another show in the early 50’s. It was the same type of show.
He got more people interested in science than most people, and I think everyone who watched his show was instantly hooked. Personally, I use to crave watching his show as a kid. Wish there was a way to watch them again as an adult, now that I could really, really understand the science behind everything. I think the first pass around I was too young to truly appreciate hydraulics or thermodynamics.
Coming soon, as a tribute to Don Herbert, will be an optical illusion inspired by an episode of Mr. Wizard that I still remember to this day.
Think about it, without Mr. Wizard, you might not have been reading this!

Well, today is your lucky day, because I’ve created another incredibly cool video. This could just be one of the best yet, and it will take the Internet community by storm I’m sure… you just got here before it did.
This is cool — watch how to re-light a candle flame without touching the wick. It just jumps through the smoke! C’mon you gotta see it to believe this cool jumping candle flame trick!
And be sure to watch the end, where it shows it actually working in slow-motion. You can actually see the spark jumping down the page. And now, the Jumping Candle Flame!
Inspired by the Roy Lichtenstein House illusion, I created my own House Illusion. I call it “scary house illusion”. The house appears to follow you around the room. I also have a printable cutout sheet, so you can make your own - and if you close one eye, or look at it from a distance, it really works! I’ve done all the work, all you need is a pair of scissors and some scotch tape, and you can have your very own scary house illusion. Want the template? Post a comment in this subject and include your email, I’ll email it to you for free.
UPDATE: Sorry, I just added the sound to help explain what is going on! Please rate 5 stars if you can.
Lichtenstein house illusion in the national gallery in Washington DC. This colorful house looks real from one angle, and just like some of the other perceptive illusions you’ll see, it looks like it’s moving as you walk by. Looks great on camera, here are a couple videos:
What you are supposed to do is walk by it on the path, and as you do it looks like it’s spinning slightly on it’s axis. This is because the part of the house that appears the most close, is actually farther away. This is similiar to some of the rotating face illusions and other perspective illusions. Very cool. Thanks, Mr. Roy Lichtenstein for your cool house illusion. Does anyone know if there are other optical illusions in the National Gallery of Art’s Sculpture garden?
