Top 10 Best Illusions You Will Ever Find

17:15
This is a list of my 10 all time favorite optical illusions. I hope you find them as fascinating as I do. Just check them below one by one and you will really like this.

1. Lilac Chaser illusion

Lilac chaser is a visual illusion, also known as the Pac-Man illusion. It consists of 12 lilac (or pink or magenta-like), blurred disks arranged in a circle (like the numbers on a clock), around a small, black, central cross on a grey background. One of the disks disappears briefly (for about 0.1 second), then the next (about 0.125 second later), and the next, and so on, in a clockwise direction. When one stares at the cross for about 20 seconds or so, one first sees a gap running around the circle of lilac disks, then a green disk running around the circle of lilac disks, then a green disk running around on the grey background, the lilac disks appearing to have disappeared or to have been erased by the green disk.

2. Jastrow illusion

The Jastrow illusion is an optical illusion discovered by the American psychologist Joseph Jastrow in 1889. In this illustration, the two figures are identical, although the lower one appears to be larger.

3. Motion Illusion

One type of motion illusion is a type of optical illusion in which a static image appears to be moving due to the cognitive effects of interacting color contrasts and shape position. To properly view this effect, click the image above to see the full sized version.

4. Jesus Christ illusion

Jesus Christ
  • Relax and concentrate on the four small dots in the middle of the picture for about 30 seconds.
  • Then take a look at a wall near you (any smooth, light colored surface), you will see a circle of light developing.
  • Start blinking your eye a couple of times and you will see a figure emerging.
  • What do you see? … JESUS CHRIST …

5. Super Cyan illusion

super-cyan

Stare at the white dot in the centre of the red circle, and whilst continuing to do so move your head forward and backwards. For the best effect you should stare at it for 2 minutes. You will see a ring of super bright cyan appear around the red circle, and the clever part… this is a colour monitor can not actually produce!

6. Real drawings of impossible situations

Real drawings of impossible situations

These are always cool to look at, a situation that would be impossible in the real world which can be created on paper with relative ease. Baffling!

7. Two Faces illusion

10. Color Blindness Test

Plate20              Plate21
You may not have considered this an optical illusion, but of course it is… at least for some people. You should see 20 in the first image & 21 in the second image. If you don’t see all of these though then you are colour blind!
