Optical Illusions

With my prior post I had a series of people comment about the optical illusion, and I am still convinced that anyone who sees the girl spinning counter-clockwise is insane. Ok – maybe not insane, but I still stare at it and can’t fathom how someone can see it differently. With the interest in such illusions, I figured I would resurrect one of my collections of optical illusions and share it with you.
If you stare at one of the yellow dots below, you will notice that the other dots eventually disappear. A bit bizarre, but works for me.

• Below is a static picture – no it really isn’t moving. However if you look at it, it does seem to move.

• In the illusion below, does A seem darker than B to you? To most people it does.  Would it shock you to know they are the same exact color?  Put your finger over the center between A & B to see the same colors.

• Try putting your dice in this arrangement.

Or if you have a woodworker in the family, ask them to make one of these:

I hope everyone enjoys this,
