Find the Mistress
Try to find the Mistress in this picture .If you dont get it look on the second picture at the maide hair.
Waiter Skirt Illusion
"The neat waiting-maid" by Peter Newell, 1893.This illustration shows a waiter behind what appears to be a skirted table with two place settings.The vision turns into another waiter carrying a food tray.This visual trick utilizes a mirror-image effect to achieve two distinct pictures.Upside-down optical illusion are quite labile, and can be cognitively manipulated.
Floating Balls Illusion
Check out the position of the balls against the checkered pattern in both illustrations. In the top image, the balls appear to be resting on the pattern. In the bottom image, three of the balls appear to be floating. But look again! Both sets of balls are in the same position. Only the placement of the shadows is different.
The Crooked Skyscraper Illusion
This is really one of the amazing and tricky image done by Mr.D.White of skytopia.com.Can you belive that all lines in this image is parallel to each other.
Word Association Illusion with Mathematics
I recently heard illusionist Criss Angel on a radio show discussing his work. The key to any illusion is convincing the audience that they’re somewhat in control of what they’re experiencing, when in fact the illusionist is controlling the situation.
To illustrate this, Criss tried something live on the air, claiming that he was going to control the masses. However, he made an error in his delivery, and it didn’t work. I backed up a bit and broke it down, pinpointing the error. It’s actually very cool. Try it on your friends.
Here it is, with the corrections, along with one embellishment:
Men: Think of an odd number between 1 and 10.
Ladies: Think of an even number between 1 and 10.
I’m going to state some words after each number. When you hear your number, remember the word. Here we go:
1. Precious metal
2. Yarn
3. Cutlery
4. Golden color
5. Highly polished
6. Ball
7. Sharp
8. Cat’s toy
9. Kitchen utensil
10. Round
Now, everybody should be thinking of the word associated with their number. I want everybody to forget their number and think of their word. Now I’m going to rattle off some objects. When you hear an object that you can associate with your word in the best possible way, I want you to lock on to that object.
– Blue felt tip pen
– Penny postage stamp
– Carving knife
– Yellow ball of yarn
– Original oil painting
– Old felt hat
– South sea island
– Western stage coach
– Antique clock
– China coffee cup
Now everybody should have the final word they’re thinking of. Envision it falling from the sky towards you. You might want to step out of the way, since you’re probably thinking of a carving knife.
Ladies need not worry, because they’re thinking of a yellow ball of yarn.
For comparison, below is Criss’s delivered version, with the embellishment and error in bold:
Men: Think of an odd number between 1 and 10.
Ladies: Think of an even number between 1 and 10.

– Blue felt tip pen
– Penny postage stamp
– Shining silver
– Carving knife

Ladies need not worry, because they’re thinking of a yellow ball of yarn.
Note here that I changed Criss’s ‘9. Carving tool‘ to ‘9. Kitchen utensil’, just to make it less obvious what’s happening. The error lies in the second batch of words that he rattled off, which included Shining silver. It was Shining silver that I locked onto, when in fact he’d intended me to think about the Carving knife.
This illusion reminds me of another classic that’s been around for a while. Max Maven told it to me once at the Magic Castle. Good stuff. The key is the delivery; keep talking quickly and don’t lose control of the situation. If you pause too long, you give the audience the opportunity to think of the less obvious objects.
It goes like this:
Think of a number between 1 and 10, but don’t tell me.
Now double it.
Now add 8 to that. You have new number.
Take your new number, and divide it by 2. You have a new number once again.
Now, I want you to subtract your original number from the number you have now. Concentrate on this number.
Let’s switch gears. I want you to think of the letter in the alphabet that corresponds with your number. That is, if your number is 2, think of B. If your number is 3, think of C. And so on.
Concentrate on that letter. Got it? OK, now, think of a country that begins with that letter. Can be anywhere. Got it? Great. Now concentrate on your country.
With your country in your mind, let’s go to the next letter in the alphabet. So, if your country begins with B, go to letter C. And so on.
You’re now thinking of your country and your other letter. Now, think of an animal that begins with that other letter. Got your animal? Good. Now concentrate and visualize the color of that animal. Got it? Good. Now concentrate on three things: your country, your animal, and the color of the animal. Try to see it in your mind.
Just remember that there are no grey elephants in Denmark.

Scary Canada Queen Illusion
I had posted before a similar post like this of Canada Queen Money Illusions.and not this time this image is aalso taken by same Make your Money's member Ryan Forsythe.But this time the image looks soo scary :P. Its really a cool and funny photograph.
Color Contrast Illusion
Which of the strips below, A or B, corresponds to the green strip positioned on the red and green field? This illusion is based on the effect of simultaneous color contrast.
Color only starts to exist when our perception systems produce the impression of ‘color’: light is perceived on the retina as a stimulus and is processed into a perception of color in our brain. In substance, colors are already illusions in themselves...
Answer :The green strip in the field or red and green is uniform,the answer being A.

Bent Line Illusion
The horizontal lines are parallel but appear to tilt; the acute angles formed by the horizontal lines and the short inducing lines appear to expand.
It is said that the illusion is maximized when the intersecting angle is between 10 and 30 degrees. Some references claim that any angle from 0 to 90 degrees produces this illusion, yet this was not supported by other references.

Starfish Clouds Illusion
This image is taken by Ian Loxley at Lincolnshire UK. The clouds in this image looks like a Starfish
Swirl Illusion
The desings in this image appears to move in opposite directions and they are not animated.
Ship Advertising Illusion
Promoting Mondo Pasta this ambient outdoor entitled 'Noodleslurper' is a little weird to look at, and its name borders dangerously close to NSFW.
But it's a clever use of otherwise useless rope to deliver a message.
I am sure dockyard workers immediately ran out and picked up a couple of packs to try out.

Buddha Shadow appears on mountain top
A human-shaped shadow in the middle of a rainbow halo appears on Zushan Mountain after a heavy rainfall in Qinhuangdao, North China's Heibei Province, July 1, 2007. The vision, which many tourists believed to be the Buddha, stayed for more than an hour.
Hidden Dog Illusion
Observe the picture on the right. Unless you are already familiar with this picture, in all likelihood it will not make sense. There are just black patches on a white background.You will see a Dalmation Dog on those patches.
Fire Demon Illusion
This image was done Jamie D.He is a amazing designer and a photographer too.I will be posting his more cool posts in future.
What is a Blue Moon?
A real blue moon, of course, is not actually blue, but rather simply the third full moon in a season which has four.
What is a Blue Moon?
This one is surprisingly tough to answer, because of a recent redefinition of when there is a blue moon. The word month originally stems from "moonth" or one rotation of the moon. However, the lunar cycle is shorter than the modern solar calendar of months, so occasionally a year will have thirteen full moons in it instead of twelve. The extra moon is the "Blue Moon".
So which one is the spare? For the last 50 years we have taken a blue moon to mean the second full moon in the same month. However, in the May 1999 edition of Sky and Telescope Magazine, this definition was identified to have been a mistake, made by them in 1946.
The original Farmer's Almanac definition of a blue moon was when a season had four full moons instead of three. Secondly (and this is the really strange part) the third full moon of the four was the one considered the extra one and not the fourth. Finally, the year itself was counted from Yule to Yule (December 25th to December 25th) and not from January 1st to January 1st.
So, after all this, the Farmer's Almanac definition of a blue moon is: the third full moon in a season which has four when counting from December 25th to December 25th (whew!).

Moving Waves Illusion
Stare on the image. Even though you're not looking at the illustration directly, you can still see it, right? (You're using your peripheral vision.) The center should look as if it's drifting down; the outer sections should appear to drift up.Its like waving up and down.
Scientists aren't sure what causes this illusion. But experts think slight color changes can trick the brain into thinking that an image is moving. This illusion—discovered by vision scientist Akiyoshi Kitaoka—is called "perceptual drift" because the brain perceives parts of the image to be drifting.

Confusing Tables Illusion
These tabletops may look different in size when you see,but acutually they are identical in shape and size.If you measure both you will find there is no difference.
