20 Unbelievable Optical Illusions\r
\r
10 - Youre not colour blind! \r
This is yet another incredible optical illusion, which shows a cube with many different colours. If you were asked how many colours are featured in the cube, what would you say? If you said 7 for orange, green, red, brown, blue, white and red – well you would be wrong. There are only 6 colours in the cube. Surprisingly, the orange square is not orange, but ually brown. Its difficult to believe that, but when the surrounding blocks are covered with paper – the square is indeed brown! \r
\r
9 - Too much to handle… \r
This one ually hurts my eyes as well, and I have to look away pretty quickly. All the dots in this picture are white, but strangely some of those dots appear black. No one has been able to explain why this ually happens.\r

8 - Back to basics… \r
You might have been given this optical illusion in your maths class as a kid, I know we were. You had to decide which of these tables were longer, or were they the same size? We were all hugely surprised when after measuring them, the longer sides of the tables were both the ex same size.\r
\r
\r
\r
\r
7 - Foreword or Sideward? \r
How do you perceive this image? They say its been made by layering several images over one another, which is how the 2-faced images come to life. \r
\r
6 - A tad freaky! \r
When you look at this image of the women upside down, you dont really notice anything amiss – but wait until the image gets turned around. Yikes! These women have morphed into monsters! Its said there are certain parts of your brain which deals with face perception, but since we dont often see upside faces, its not that easy to spot when things are distorted.\r
\r
\r
\r
\r
5 - A trick of the mind… \r
You would be forgiven for thinking that this image is moving… but would you believe that this is just a plain, static Jpg image. Hard to believe isnt it?\r
\r
\r
4 - Up or down?\r
This is a very well-known illusion, which features a cat either going up or down – really depending on you perceive it. I would love to explain the mathematical explanation behind this phenomenon, but in a nut shell – it has something to do with our eyes on receiving images in 2 D, although we see things in 3 D. And thats where I will stop.\r
\r
\r
\r
\r
3 - The 3d Effect… \r
Julian Beever has been creating the most incredible 3 dimensional chalk art since the 90s, and uses a projection technique called Anamorphosu. He first draws the design on paper, and with a camera set up to capture the various angles, is able to create the most incredible designs. His work has taken him around the world.\r
\r
\r
\r
\r
2 - Back to basics… \r
This one is also one that has been spotted before, but many seem to struggle to identify the two different images that are placed in what appears to be a very basic optical illusion. \r
Do you see the time glass and the faces of two people?\r
\r
\r
\r
\r
1 - One for the road… \r
You must have seen this image doing the round on social media a while back, and thats how we will wrap up our video for today. In the tree truck and branches, there are several hidden faces for you to discover. How many do you think there are at a glance? The answer is 10. Now they pointed out, its much easier to spot them.
