Incredible Visual Illusions

by Al Seckel

Incredible Visual Illusions is the most comprehensive and amazing collection of optical illusions ever assembled, with close to three hundred different illusions, many of which have never before been published. You will be amazed as images flash and scintillate before your eyes, other images disappear right before your eyes, other images disappear right in front of your eyes, size and shape lose their meaning, and you see motion where there is no motion. The variety of different effects is almost endless, and many appear for the first time in this volume.

A really interesting read. Easy to follow and understand with great illustrations to support concepts discussed.
Next step would be to show how to duplicate the ideas.

A collection of the different types of visual illusions, including some very famous ones, together with explanations as to what they actual are and how they fool us. Some literally jump off the page, but others I just couldn’t see, no matter how hard I tried. Not a lot of reading, just many illustrations that are interesting to puzzle over.

A large and interesting collection of visual illusions. A good book to give to a curious child.

Lots of quirky images, with many of cultural worth.
