Optical Illusions: An Eye-Popping Extravaganza of Visual Tricks (Dover Books on Magic, Games and Puzzles)

"This is an extremely enjoyable collection of optical illusions, filled with pictures that will certainly leave you scraping your head as you try to determine just how they've tricked you. There are lots of them, and it's the most effective visual fallacy publication I've stumbled upon."-- Bertass Reviews Anything/World of Kid's Books
A photo on a web page shows up to shake, a face slowly vanishes, and a puzzling pet cat makes a look in this feast of fascinating optical techniques. Children and adults can find the fascinating junction of art, science, and magic in a collection of geometric impressions, delusions, distortion impacts, and various other impossible images.Designed and attracted by a popular problem maker, the book is planned to perplex readers, to thrill their sense of wonder, and to motivate them to doubt the nature of fact. The optical illusions, which incorporate aesthetic passion with aspects of psychology and leisure logic, include lots of original impressions in addition to new adaptations of lesser-known aesthetic techniques. Each of the images is gone along with by a simple commentary that explains just how it works.
