Eye Tricks

My favorite illusion video
Well, you asked. It's the link above.

Spinning Spiral
This spinning spiral will appear to move, even though it is does not!

Incredible spiral arraws
This is one of the new illusions added to the site. Makes a nice wallpaper for your computer too!

Have some fun! Try the Ambigrams Section.
An ambigram is defined as a word that is the same upside down. Very fun, and make great tattoos too!

Unexpected Shadow Illusion

The Pole has a Strange Shadow

Urban Tree Shadow Picture

There's nothing unusual about this shadow of a palm tree - except when you see that there is no palm tree around to be found. Just a concrete pylon within a courtyard with a painted-on shadow. The concrete pillar is lettered with "Nothing can replace a tree." I'm not sure that I can accept that statement for every cicumstance.

I guess it would depend on what you are wanting to use the tree to accomplish. A tire swing swings just as well from a metal swingset than an old maple tree, but you can't top a tree for straight-up treeness.
