Heres an illusion you probably havent seen before...

On the left is Mrs Angry, on the right is Mrs calm. Now, move away further and further from your monitor and see what happens to the faces...

Pretty cool. If you have good vision you have might trouble getting far enough away if the room isn't big enough. Worked great when I took my glasses off but when they were on I coudn't get far enough away with my corrected vision.

This one's pretty sick. Stare at the center of the image and things will start to happen. Stare at it long enough and you will start hearing voices.

Here's an illusion- if you stare at her rack for long enough, they will start bouncing.

This is ace! its a perfect example of the 'colour phi phenomenon' which demonstrates how our consiousness is totally not what we all instinctivly perceivce as a 'one place editing room/streaming theater', but more a vast bubbling of collecting data all being manipulated and edited.

For example when a disco light goes off, and another on, we see the light 'jump' from one spot to another - as if its the same light...the light moves and travels from its first locatiion to the second, but how does it move there before we see the destination it moves to?

It gets really interesting when the second light is a different colour because the light changes to this colour half way through the jump - now how does it change colour half way through, when the colour its changing to hasnt even appeared yet?

if you think its bs, save the file, open it in paint, then use the sampling tool, then sample each color and paint a box with both.. or draw intersecting lines.. or whatever... its an illusion, the colors are the same.

No really, they are the same colour. A lecturer talked about this in college.

If you stand up, tilt your head on its side, straighten one arm towards the screen and cover one eye your an idiot.

Copy/paste into paint and fill colour somewhere in either box with a different colour, you'll see they're the same colour.
