Optical Illusion Flip Book

Presents optical illusions and explains why the eyes perceive what isn't actually so.

Don't believe what you see because you're about to encounter all sorts of things that aren't quite what they seem. This collection of incredible optical illusions may look like just one book, but it's really two! When you reach the end of the first one, you really aren't done--flip it over and start again with yet another book of challenging puzzles. Between the covers you'll find amazing tricks for the eye as well as for the mind. Behold gray spots that appear and disappear, solid objects that can't exist, and straight lines that wave and bend. Circles shake and patterns pulsate. Mazes baffle and pictures with hidden objects dazzle. Create your own 3-D viewer, create rainbows, perform magic by making a scarf disappear, and more. Incredible--but real--you're in for some astonishing surprises.

While even the simplest of illusions please, this stunning volume showcases over 200 of the finest images from around the world. Artists include Rafael Olbinski, Rob Gonsalves, Octavio Ocampo, David MacDonald, Gene Levine and M.C Escher. From the most classic optical illusions to complex graphic and painterly designs.

You don't have to be a magician (David Copperfield, David Blaine, David ... you get the idea) to fool the eye into seeing something that isn't there. In fact, all you need to pull off a mind-bending, look-twice trick is a piece of paper, some colored pencils or markers and the fun op-art technique I'm about to teach you.

'I cried, "Come, tell me how you live!" And thumped him on the head.' Conjuring wily walruses, dancing lobsters, a Jabberwock and a Bandersnatch, Carroll's fantastical verse gave new words to the English language.

In one side of this animated flip book, Mickey Mouse opens a large present to reveal a surprise; in the other, Minnie and Mickey perform a special dance. Original.
