Get ready for a new set of absolutely amazing optical illusions!
Concentrate hard and don't let them trick you!
Number 1. Look at these circles attentively, and you'll notice they're rotating.
But that's just an illusion – the circles are completely still.
Number 2. Which is bigger: the hat's height or its width?
They are absolutely the same. Your eyes are playing tricks on you.
Number 3. Which tower is leaning more?
Ha, look at that – they're the same, even though one tower seems to be lopsided when
placed next to a copy of itself. This is called the Leaning Tower Illusion.
Number 4. How many colors do you see in this image?
However many you might see, in reality, there are only three.
Number 5. The patterns in this picture seem to be moving.
But once you focus on one of the ovals, the whole image becomes still.
Number 6. What do you see in this picture? A moving star?
Well, the star part is correct. But in reality, it's a static image.
Once again, if you concentrate on any of its parts, the picture will stop moving.
Number 7. It seems as if there are three cylinders in this image, and they're are all rotating.
But you know what to do: stare at the center of the picture, and all the movement will stop.
Number 8. Which pencil is longer?
They are of the same length.
Number 9. Can you find three animals in this picture?
Three bunnies are hiding in the tree branches!
Number 10. Look at this rotating thingy.
There’s no doubt it's a 3D image! But in reality,
it's just a set of rotating figures that creates such a three-dimensional effect!
Number 11. Look at the screen and move your head forward and
backward while focusing on the center of the image.
When you come closer, the lines will seem to rotate counterclockwise.
As soon as you start to move away from the image, the lines will rotate clockwise.
Number 12. There is something hidden in this grid. Can you figure out what it is?
If you can't spot it, try to shake your head, move further from the screen, or screw up your eyes.
And just in case it hasn't helped either, let me make the grid
less bright... Here we go, a lovely kitty!
Number 14. Can you figure out which word is hidden here?
That's "bedside"!
Number 15. Look at this image and say which string is tied to the banana.
I was almost sure it was string #2. But in fact, that's the third one.
Number 16. Which word is brighter?
If you remove the grid, it'll become obvious that both words are of the same color!
Number 17. Each horizontal band seems to
be lighter in the middle and darker near the boundaries.
But in reality, all of them are of a uniform shade.
Number 18. Which line is longer, A or B?
They're both of the same length. This illusion is created because your mind
perceives this image in 3D space. That’s why your brain tells you that
the line which is "closer to you" must be shorter than the more distant one.
Number 19. Are the woman's eyes of the same color?
In fact, they are! You can make sure of it
by comparing the color of her eyes and the hair accessory.
Number 20. At first sight, it's just a red "fan" rotating over a bright green background.
But try to concentrate on the black dot in the middle. After a while, you'll
notice that the green under the "fan" is brighter than that of
the surrounding ring. And the fan blades are actually redder than the central disk.
Number 21. These two disks are pulsating,
changing between dark and light. But are they doing it at the same time?
Keep watching, and you'll see that it depends on the background!
When it's light, the disks pulsate in sync. But when one part of the background is light,
and the other is dark, the disks seem to pulse not simultaneously.
Number 22. Which word is hidden in this image?
That's the word "quality."
Number 23. Which creature has a longer mouth, yellow or green?
Their mouths are of the same length!
Number 24. How about this picture? Which word does it hide?
High-five if you've spotted the word "quite."
Number 25. That's how a set of simple straight lines can trick your brain.
The square made up of vertical lines looks wider and shorter than the one
formed of horizontal lines.
Number 26. Look at this pyramid made of elongated diamonds. Are
these diamonds darker at the top or at the bottom of the pyramid?
All diamonds are identical, even though it surely doesn't look like that. But once we start moving
them around – this way – and comparing them with one another, it becomes obvious.
Number 27. Find three animals hidden in this image.
Right you are, there are three foxes over there in the tree!
Number 28. Look at the wheel moving behind the red picket
fence. Its spokes seem to be bent at the bottom!
But in reality,
there's nothing wrong with the wheel, and the spokes are perfectly straight.
Wanna make sure? Look, the fence is becoming transparent... Here you go!
Number 29. Now, this wheel seems to be rotating clockwise. And the spokes are moving
counterclockwise. But if you look at one of the spokes attentively, you'll notice it's actually
staying in one place. Or rather, it makes a tiny shift forward and then returns to its place.
Number 30. Which word is hidden in this image?
It's "feather"!
Number 31. What do you see in this picture?
There's no definite answer here. Some people notice footprints. Others – five bowling pins.
Number 32. How about this picture? Are those three
pairs of alternating grooves and ridges? Or maybe you see three shiny oval tubes?
The main trick is that the right side of the image
looks like a folded surface and the left resembles the tubes.
Number 33. Which word do you see here?
It's the word "change."
Number 34. Look at the blue lines. They seem to be moving in pairs.
And how about now? They suddenly form an outline of a diamond!
Number 35. These wooden railroad tracks seem to be different in size.
The lower one looks larger than the one at the top. But if we switch them,
it becomes obvious that they're identical in size.
Number 36. Do these horizontal lines seem parallel to you?
And what if I tell you they ARE, and what you see is just an illusion?
Number 37. Try to figure out which line is longer here.
If your answer is, "Come on, I know they're of the same length!", you're absolutely right!
Number 38. Can you see anything unusual in this picture?
There's a Dalmatian hiding here!
Number 39. There seems to be a "bulge" in the middle of this checkerboard.
But in reality, this checkerboard is regular, and each of its checks is perfectly square.
You'll see it once we remove the tiny black and white ticks.
Number 40. The blue horizontal stripes in this picture can't be parallel, right?
But if we remove all the additional elements,
it'll become apparent that the lines are NOT oblique.
