Table Optical Illusion
shamrock illusion

This has quickly become another one of my favorite optical illusions. Check out the two tables above. The one on the right is much more of a square, and the one on the left is much longer and skinnier, right? Wrong! The surface area of each table is actually identical! To prove it, put a peice of typing paper up the screen and VERY LIGHTLY trace over one of outlines of the table top.

You'll see that the outline matches perfectly!

Squiggly Lines Illusion

hat eye trick

At first when I saw this illusion, I was thinking... what the heck is this? That's a pretty funky illusion, and I'm not sure what it's supposed to be. Well, at first, you'll notcice that the vertical lines are pretty messed up. But then as you look at it longer, the thicker black lines will start to look like walls in a room, and the white square will appear to be very far away. Before this optical illusion gives you a headache, better click on, my friend!
