Scary Face Fun Magazine Illusion

this is similar to the Magazine Illusion. Here are some really cool illusions created by using magazines.Though it looks simple how these illusions are been created; what matters the most is the angling & the idea, which changes the whole perception of a regular photo into an amazing illusion just by using simple things. And if you look carefully at the amazing details been taken care off for creating these illusions, you will notice the face shapes of the people & the actual magazine covers are also been matched.

Good Night Sweet Sun Illusion

I love the amazing colors and superb composition of this photo. The silhouette suggests this is a young lady saying good night to the sun, but we can never really be sure can we?

Great work Nicole!

Cloud Making Illusion

We can have fun with the clouds and create the illusion using your hand, A Guy is using the bottle to create a fun illusion, what you have to do just pick up the camera and set a good location to capture a image to create an illusion. The Illusion clearly indicates that the cloud is coming out of the bottle but it isn't.

Illusory Motion Optical Illusion

Here is another excellent optical illusion from Sarcone & Waeber. The below image is static, only the colors change. The base image is an anomalous motion optical illusion. When we add the changing color to the mix it is very hard not to believe that the image itself is not moving.

What do you think?

For more info and another example of Illusory Motion go here.

Stare at the center of the 'animated' image. The image is static only the colors change!

As tall as the church?
3/4 as tall as the church?
1/2 as tall as the church?
1/4 as tall as the church?

Dice on Steps Optical Illusion

Dave Barlow created this illusion and frames it like this,

"The picture shows exactly the same model with two dice set upon it, from opposite viewpoints. The person with the uppermost view swears that the dark die is higher than the light one. The person with the lower view is certain that his friend is seeing things, because clearly, the lighter die is higher than the dark one.

Who is right?"

Slanted Gate Optical Illusion

This image appears at first and second glance to be tilted to the right.

The truth is though that the gate is perfectly straight up and down and all rows are perfectly horizontal.

To prove this step back from the monitor and the illusion slowly starts to fade.
