Have a look at this first pic, On the left is Dr Angry, and on the right is Mr Calm.Now stand up from your chair and back away from your computer screen, the effects will be visible at different distances and depends on your vision capacity but everyone of you should see the two characters swap over...wow!!

Okay,you should be afraid after seeing that, hè hè,a short explanation should be as follows:
When we look at something else, we can automatically see both of the fine and coarse detail...the distance takes a grand part on this illusion, when we are close, the fine detail dominate,but when we are further away, the coarse detail appear then we lose the fine details.As you can see Both of the faces you see above are hybrids and each face is actually a combination of two faces

This time i'm gonna give you a very simple illusion that everyone of you see it each night.Well, i suppose you all know the Moon illusion, it's one of the most famous illusions.Don't you think that's impossible to see the full moon much larger than when it's overhead?.Yet the moon, a quarter of a million miles away from the earth, always maintain the same angle wherever it is in the sky, roughly 0.5 degrees.

Has anyone thought why the moon is red when it is rising? it is red because of earth's atmosphere,the only clour tha gets through is red, that's why we also have sunsets with red and orange colours in the sky

OKay,let me clarify a thing,you have to concentrate for about 30 sec on the four dots in the middle,then tilt your head back and close your eyes,you'll see a circle of light.


WTF??? I looked at the 4 dots for 30 secs and i didn't see any circle of light but now where ever i look i see the face of Jesus!! Is this what you meant by "circle of light" or have i just had a vision?

No, you must see a circle of light, you have just to look in the middle and precisely on the four dots...maybe you have not concentrated enough.
Note: it doesn't necessarly take 30 sec,it could be 33 sec or 28 sec...no matter the time,you'll see it.

A good trick to try on a group of drunken scientists!

HOW TO DO THE TRICK

Explain that just as a glass prism splits up the different colours of white light, when different coloured light passes through glass, it is also affected to an extent that depends on its colour.

Write the words CARBON DIOXIDE on a piece of paper, CARBON in red and DIOXIDE in blue. Put the paper close behind the stem of a wine glass, and look at the words through the stem. The red letters turn upside down, but the blue ones don't.

So is the glass affecting the red light more than the blue?

HOW IT WORKS

You weren't fooled, were you? This has nothing to do with the different colours of the words, or of red light being bent more or less than blue light.

The stem of the wine glass turns both words upside down, but because DIOXIDE is symmetrical about a horizontal line, you don't notice that it is upside down - it looks just the same either way.

Wow, the site is wonderful. Thank you so much. Have you ever heard of the dragon illusion? well, if not You can download a copy of the actual dragon and try this illusion for yourself if you wish. This is a PDF file. Right click to download the file. This is a 244k download. Once you have printed the dragon out (a colour printer is best since this is a colour image) then you can cut out the dragon, fold and stick it, and you will be able to see this fantastic illusion yourself. When you print the page out, you will see that the instructions for folding the dragon are included. Please follow these instructions exactly.
Have fun and don't get insane
