Find The Differences: Atomium!
While ago, one of our fans who was obviously inspired by Atomium’s impossible structure, sent this in as a suggestion for our little’o website. I was distracted and couldn’t see it at first, but the photo below contains both the illusion and “spot the differences” game all wrapped into one single package! Can you see [...]
Meals On Wheels Optical Illusion
Here’s what you get when you combine an ad agency, #Akiyoshi Kitaoka’s famous illusory “moving snakes pattern” and home-delivery service provider. I can’t seem to ignore the irony behind this advertising message, but it’s better for me to let you decide on it yourselves. Meals on Wheels!
Two Of a Kind (Dirty Sofa Illusion)
Some of the best illusions on this site can be found categorised inside #sexy hashtag. It’s not that I’m such fond of provocative content, it’s because illusions such as this one have to pass some extra filters in order to qualify for our homepage. I have to be extra careful with these, as there are youngsters [...]
Puzzled Fox Optical Illusion
It’s been a long time since last time we featured one our “Spot the animal” puzzles. At one point in time, Gardner’s hidden animals over-populated this blog so much, they started popping out with each “Random illusion” button click. I swore to myself then, I’m done with them forever. Don’t get me wrong – there [...]
Impossible Triangle Solution GIF
More often than not, I receive emails from fans all over the world! Most of them are complimentary, thanking me for maintaining this site and expressing gratuity for regular content. Off course, I also receive a complaint here and then (mostly addressing my English). Questions and suggestions fly in as well. One that stood out [...]
Chocolate Pieces Puzzle
I just had to share this sweet chocolate animation with you guys! I know that missing piece puzzle was recycled so many times by now, but I’m sure you’ll admit it’s fun to see something so simple yet so amazing. If I were a food company, I’d apply this principle immediately to generate some extra [...]
Beautiful Figures Made Out of Wood
You may accuse me of recycling some already-seen ideas, but I felt obligated to share Jason’s recent submission – one featuring beautiful impossible figures made out of wood. I haven’t had the chance to ask Jason if he made or photographed these himself, but the outcome is either-way perfect! Not sure about you, but I’d [...]
Perfectly Timed Photos [Gallery]
Perfectly Timed Photos, also known as Photos Taken at Just Right Moment are often to be found floating around the net. I tend to ignore them, until I’m able to collect enough qualifying samples, ones I can feature inside my #galleries. Even though most of them involve sun or a moon, there are other extraordinary [...]
Saxophone Player or A Face?
Since this “Jazz Musician” optical illusion was one of the earliest attempts of me trying to blog, where since then it has long been buried deep inside our web archives, it made me very happy when I found out it wasn’t forgotten and was used as a print for a very popular T-Shirt brand! Now [...]
Tombstone Face Follows You Around
Here’s an interesting, yet spooky tombstone my brother stumbled upon while visiting Paris. Based on famous “Hollow Face” illusion (examples can be found here and here), face of the deceased doctor follows you around, as you’re passing-by his final resting place. I can’t imagine how one would react if he encountered this during the night, [...]
Blivet (Devil’s Fork) Illusion Collection
A blivet, also known as a poiuyt or even more often refereed to as “The Devil’s Fork” is an undecipherable figure, an optical illusion and an impossible object we’ve encountered many times here on Mighty Optical Illusions blog – yet I feel we’ve never given it proper attention, explained how it works nor talked how [...]
Recycled Rasta Optical Illusion
First glance on the “Recycled Rasta-man” may give you an impression you’re looking at some bizarre oil painting, but when you look closer, you’ll soon realise it’s actually an anamorphic 3D sculpture made of recycled materials – The massive portrait of actor Sotigui Kouyaté. This portrait was made by French artist Bernard Pras, and was [...]
Ikemath’s Impossible Gallery vol.2
Based on the impact our last Impossible Objects Gallery by Ikemath received, it seems you just can’t get enough of these! Pardon me, if this doesn’t sound right – but it turned out our last gallery went viral in record time! Fortunately, there’s more where this came from. Check the following gallery filled with beautiful, [...]
VIDEO: Spider-Tank Building Illusion
Spiders may not be the most popular creatures – theres even a phobia named after them, but German art student Friedrich von Schoor appears to have no problem with them! As part of a project at his art college, Friedrich used a video of some ordinary spiders trapped inside a small tank to create a [...]
Floating Spheres Optical Illusion
Look what just flew-in, straight to my mailbox! For those of you unaware, you are more then welcome to send us some interesting illusion-related content using our submit email address which can be found in the footer of this site. Inspired by Akiyoshi’s illusory patterns, Mark Grenier achieved extremely beautiful floating effect with his rotating [...]
“Assumptions” by Richard Wiseman
Richard Wiseman’s viral clip Assumptions has been viewed more than 3 million times on YouTube, which immediately propelled him into #celebrity status. As a result of this success, Richard has been invited to create online content for various projects, including Derren Brown’s The Events, the launch of The Mentalist, and Transport For London’s campaign to [...]
Jens Birch’s Funny Looking Bird(s)
While preparing new stuff for you to see this week, I came across this beautiful and funny-looking photograph made by Jens Birch. At first I intended to incorporate birds species into the caption, but then I realised I don’t have a clue if this photo involves ducks, swans or something else. Bird-spotters among you will have [...]
Ikemath’s Impossible Gallery
Old time viewers will immediately recognise Ikemath’s work in this #impossible objects gallery below. Randomly placed wristwatch serves as a reminder what we are seeing is real, and is probably used as some sort of signature representing Ikemath’s style. Check the gallery below, and see if you can decode how these objects came to be. [...]
VIDEO: Missing Cubes Optical Illusion
If you haven’t had the chance to see this “Missing/Extra Cube” video that went viral recently, here’s your chance to see it now! Norberto Jansenson has re-thinked famous missing-piece illusion (original version included triangle), and then presented it in much more appealing and effective manner. The idea behind this toy is somewhat identical to “Preposterous [...]
“Fathers and Sons” Illusion Poster
Trapping viewer’s attention, which is the main goal in product advertising is more often than not incredibly difficult task to achieve. While already sky-high, user ad-blindness is rapidly increasing, with no signs on horizon showing this will change anytime soon. However, one method stands tall, promising delivery – still being able to trap attention. Messages [...]
