Optical illusion Books

CAN YOU SEE THE SHEEP DOG?
The sheep dog is actually not in the image as a sheep dog. If you look upon the image of the bride & groom from a distance, you will see an image of a sheep dog. Look upon the groom’s hand as the sheep dogs nose. This illusion requires a bit of patients; it will either hit you right away, or will struggle.

WHAT IS SO STRANGE ABOUT THIS TREE?
The word’s ‘Tree of Life’ on the top left gives it away. There is an image of an unborn baby within the left hand of the tree. If you look upon the trunk of the tree, the first branch is the feet….then you should work out the rest on your own.

FOLLOW THE STEPS!
It doesn’t matter how long it will take you to get your head around this illusion, you will never beat it. One character is approaching the steps to go down and the other character is heading to the same step climbing up, yet they appear to be on the same level.

FIND THE HIDDEN TIGER?
You will either get it right away or you will struggle. If you’re looking upon the trees where you expect to see a hidden tiger, you won’t find it. Try looking outside the box and look upon the tiger itself. If you look upon the stripes of the tiger, you will see ‘The Hidden Tiger’ written on the stripes of the Tiger.

THE BLACK & WHITE SQUARES
This is a clever illusion where it appears to be black & white squares. Now put your finger or a pen across the horizon and you will see for yourself that both square are identical in shade.

CAN YOU WORK OUT THE FRONT OF THE CAR?
I’m afraid you will never beat this illusion, this illusion is similar to the Steps illusion. You expect the grill of the car will be the front, only realising that the wheels at the front is the side of the car. It’s one of those illusions you have to admire.

DO YOU SEE TWO FACES?
Pretty easy to spot the two faces, but if you look upon one of the faces on the right, admire the way the divers are just swimming randomly, yet creating a face.

WHAT IS SO STRANGE ABOUT THIS PICTURE?
There is a hidden character within the girl paddling. Again, you will either get this illusion right away, or you may have to spend a bit of time on this one. If you require a bit of help, you may want to look upon this image from a distance, using the bridge in the background as the left eye and the girl as the nose of the character. There are quite a few of these spooky illusions in Book Four of the series.

ALL THREE CARS ARE IDENTICAL IN SIZE
Yes, believe it or not, all 3 cars are the same size. This is where the Science of Perception confuses your mind regarding distance & size. You expect things to be smaller when they are further away, but using the same size car further away, makes the car bigger. Edition One is called The Science of Perception which touches on this facinating topic.

SOMETHING ODD ABOUT THESE WINDOWS!
At first glance, you will not see much going on, until you start studying the position from both windows. The image gives you two different perspectives. The way the frame of the window is facing, gives you the impression that you’re looking up or looking up at the character hanging out of the window. Very clever illusion!

TREKKING THROUGH THE SNOW!
At first glance you see a character trekking through the snow. The title of this illusion is also telling what is going on, until you study the image carefully, that there is a dog. The so called character’s head is the dog’s tail. Now you’re on your own to find the rest.

SOMETHING NOT QUITE RIGHT, WHAT IS IT?
This brain teaser beats quite a few people, especially the older generation. Here is a Beatle Car, a well-known car back in the 70’s/80’s which seems to have an issue with its engine, only to know that the engine is at the back of a Beatle, not the front.

ONE THING IS WRONG, WHAT IS IT?
This brain teaser can take you down two paths. You may look upon the score of each letter of a scrabble tile to see if the score on each letter is correct or not. Or whether there is an issue with the ‘Querty’ keyboard. The issue on this brain teaser is that the letters L&K are in the wrong order.

ENGLISH GRAMMAR TEST
‘Is the yolk of eggs is white’ or is it ‘the yolk of eggs are white’ which one do you think is the correct grammar. Whether you said A or B, you’re wrong on both answers. The yolk is yellow, not white. This is a catch you out question, did this little brain teaser catch you out?

CAN YOU FIND THE MISTAKE?
The numbers between 1 and 9 seems to be the focal of attention, as the question appears to be referring to it, but the mistake is in the question. Have another look! Did you spot it? The question ‘Can you find the mistake’ has two “The’s”

THE CUBE TEST
This is not as easy as it appears. Most people would look upon the missing squares that create the steps of the cube; therefore people would count 20 cubes that are missing. The actually number of cubes that are missing are 45. Unfortunately ‘Mystify your Mind’ are not going to explain how it is 45, you will have to work that one yourself. We can’t give every solution away, we would like you think about these little mind games.

SPOT THE MISTAKE?
Quite a few people do struggle on this one. If you look upon the swing seat, the rope is attached to end of the seat, therefore it should tilt. Obviously the rope needs to be attached to the middle of the seat.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
What appears to be Abraham Lincoln is a fluster of other images. There is a mouse on the left side of the eye, a snail on the right side of the eye, but you will have to turn the page upside down to see the snail. There is a portrait as the forehead. The hair is the shape of a clown. There is a goose making up the nose, and if tilt your head; there is a dog and a llama under the head of Lincoln.

THE SMILE, WHAT IS WRONG?
The title of this illusion ‘The Smile’ is putting the full focus on the girl’s mouth, and it making you deliberate whether the girl is smiling or not. What the title of this illusion is actually doing is taking the full attention away that the girl has five fingers. If the words ‘The smile’ wasn’t on the illusion, you will notice what is be wrong right away.

CAN YOU SEE LIFE ON THIS PLANET?
At first glance, this planet seems lifeless, but if you look upon the rock formation on this planet, it has outline portrait of a woman looking upon a man. You may need time and patients to get this clever illusion.
