 INTRODUCTION:
• An optical illusion (also called a visual
illusion) is characterized by visually
perceived images that differ from objective
reality. The information gathered by the eye
is processed in the brain to give a percept
that does not tally with a physical
measurement of the stimulus source.
 Some:
OPTICAL ILLUSIONS...
OPTICAL ILLUSION 1
This is the Bunny/Duck
illusion. At first glance,
what do you see? Now
give it some time, but do
not focus on one certain
area, and then ask
Yourself; what do I
really see? Now, look
again. You might be
surprised!!!!!!
OPTICAL ILLUSION 2
Do you see some squares
or rectangles? Really,
this is nothing more than a
bunch of lines going in
every which direction, but
the way our mind
interprets these lines are
totally different!!
OPTICAL ILLUSION 3
This is probably the
most famous illusion of
all time! Almost
everyone has seen
it! What do you see at
your first glance of this
illusion! Do you see an
old lady, or do you see a
young women? They are
both there!!
OPTICAL ILLUSION 5
This is probably the hardest
illusion that I have ever
seen, and I have to say my
personal favorite!!! When
you first look at this, do
you see and old man
with ivy leaves around him,
or do you see a couple
kissing? Be patient and
give it some time!! You
will eventually see it
OPTICAL ILLUSION 6
Do the sides of the
square appear to be bent
in? Wait, now that is
Impossible!
Believe it or not, they are
as straight as they come.
If you do not believe me,
take a straight edge and
see for yourself!!!
OPTICAL ILLUSION 8
How many ways can you
view this cube? Is the
blue side outside the box
or is it inside? Is it on the
back of the box of is it on
the side? Examine this
cube closely, and let the
light blue side guide you!
OPTICAL ILLSUION 9
At first glance, what
do you see--Could it
be the word "liar" or
is it something more.
I would definitely give
this one a second look!
OPTICAL ILLUSION 10
When you look at this,
you probably see a
triangle. There is not one
there! The way the circle
parts are cut out, make us
think there is a triangle
there even though there
isn’t any!
OPTICAL ILLSUION 11
Are the diagonals
parallel? You bet they
are!
OPTICAL ILLUSION 12
I have heard this illusion
called the dancing
elephant and several other
things. I want you to look
at the elephants feet and
legs. How many are
actually there?
OPTICAL ILLUSION 13
Is this man playing a
sax, or is there
something more
here?
OPTICAL ILLUSION 14
• When you first read this,
what does it say?

• A Bird In The Bush?

• If you read this more

carefully you will find that
it says A Bird In The The
Bush!!!
 The figure
Impossible
