A collection of some of the craziest, mind-bending, and entertaining images on the web. Women with four arms, children who walk on water, pigeons the size of ten-story buildings—though we know these things aren’t possible in the real world, a quick glimpse at the right photograph may temporary convince you otherwise. Steven Estep, one of the brains behind the popular visual illusion website, MOIllusions.com, understands how these eye tricks work better than most. In Mighty Optical Illusions, Estep presents more than two hundred photographs, drawings, sculptures, and paintings that may make you scratch your head, squint your eyes, and doubt yourself. These images are known as optical illusions—items that deceive the eye by appearing to be other than they really are. The illusions in this collection include 3-D chalk drawings, billboards, body paintings, color adaptations, murals, sculptures, stereograms, sketches, and designs by some of the most progressive and well-known illusionists in the industry, including: Andreas Aronsson Frankynata Tedjosantoso Jennifer Townley Josh Stacy Leon Keer Mark Grenier Mark Talbot Richard Contreras Tabi Ferguson Terence Rosoman And more! Optical illusions—whether they are scary, dizzying, confusing, or tricky—can provide hours of fun and entertainment for the whole family.

Seeing shouldn't always be believing... It all depends on how you look at it--every one of these drawings has a built-in "deception." For example, in this picture how many cubes are there: 7 or 8? Count again: if you're focusing on the black tops, you'll come up with 8, but if your eye is on the white bottoms, you'll find 7 cubes. Some images show two things in one, others confound your perception so you won't be able to judge size, and still more seem to sparkle and pulse. You won't be able to take your eyes off them! 96 pages, 86 b/w illus., 4 x 5.

Each of these optical illusions is a masterpiece of colorful design, with visual tricks to confound the mind and please the eye. Just don’t trust anything you see at first glance, because it’s impossible to judge spatial relations, or even the subject of a picture, accurately. In some cases, the colors themselves deceive the eye, making objects seem larger, smaller, faster, or even better looking than they really are. Hold onto your hats—two fancy stovepipe hats, that is: are they taller than they are wide, wider than they are tall, or the same dimensions? Or try climbing the wild set of stairs: they’ll have you going in circles and in squares. There’s plenty of beautifully intriguing fun on these pages.
