13 Hidden faces
|
view preview
This is a famous optical illusion, known as the '13 hidden faces'. It is also an attractive piece of art. How many can you find? It is considered that if you can find 10 faces you have normal powers of observation. If you find 15, you have above average observation skills, if you discover 21 or more, you have extremely keen observation skills. The faces that are most obvious are the ones in the foreground, along the path. They are lit up and our eyes are drawn naturally to them. The faces in shadow are perhaps more tricky to observe.

At first glance, this photo looks like a stunning Scarlet Macaw. Look closer. This species isn’t Ara macao, it’s Homo sapiens. If you look closely, you can see her right hand as the claw, her left arm wrapped over her head to look like the head and the beak. Her left leg is outstretched to serve as the tail, while her right leg is curled up on the post. The bright green eye is painted on her forehead. Artist Johannes Stoetter spent a month planning and executing this amazing photograph. For four hours, he painstakingly painted the model’s body with breathable paint in order to create the the beautiful details. ...

The vortex is a spherical field of force, or a magnetic disturbance. The vortex is 165 feet in diameter and sits half way above ground and half below. The disturbance, or vortex causes unexplainable changes in perception, causing naturally occurring visual and perceptual phenomena that has been caught on film many times. Within the spherical distortion, people stand at an angle. The disturbance alters your relative gravity, causing you to stand at an angle of varying degrees. It is not possible for someone to stand vertical inside the vortex. It will also make someone who is walking away, seem taller, or shorter depending on where you stand. Balls roll uphill, brooms stand straight up and down on their own, and chairs appear to be held up b ...

Short-circuit your brain
|
view preview
Your brain is trying to do two things at once. Look at the image and try to say the colour of the word you see, rather than the actual word itself. It’s very tricky to do. The words seem to wrestle in a bizarre power struggle with the colours. This is because the right side of your brain is seeing the colour of the word while the left side is trying to say the word itself.
