Not only does this optical illusion almost look a little 3-d,
it would be virtually impossible to make! This is pretty crazy... Try
This: Hold your hand or a piece of paper up over one side of this crazy
optical illusion, and you'll see that the other side looks just fine.
Now move your hand to the other side... it looks fine again. You'll
also notice that by doing this, the perspective on this wacky object
will change. This is another great one that would be fun to memorize,
and sketch on the side of your notes as you are in a long meeting or
boring class. If you put your hand on the right side of the picture,
it looks like you're looking down at this object. Put your hand to the
left, and it'll look like you are looking up at the 3 D optical illusion.
Please rate this illusion/picture. Your ratings help us choose which new optical illusions to create, plus, it's fun!
