Cool optical illusion pictures, magic images, cool pictures and tumbling fun!
[/text_output][text_output]The human eye and brain work in a way that its interpretation of depth can be altered. Therefore giving the appearance of an optical illusion. Optical Illusions can be created by using lines, color and carefully constructed geometrical patterns. Which as a result a phenomenon is created that is hard to explain. In the meantime the person questioning what is going on. By using optical illusion pictures we can therefore prove just how easy it is to fool the eyes and brain.
Optical illusions vary greatly. Artists have created magic images for centuries, experimenting with face illusions, animal ambiguities, geometric shapes, patterns, using color theory and the list goes on. Now days phenomenal illusions can be achieved. With the advent of computers and a deeper understanding of the brain, we are pushed to raise the bar higher and higher.
The illusions I have chosen for this page are based on personal preference. They range from hand drawn paintings, animation, computer generated imagery, and technical structures that date back over 100 years. Further more we can see the possibilities of what is yet to come.

Motion Graphic Illusions
The motion graphics animation loops below are blogged on Tumblr. What I'm loving about the loops are how simple they are, but yet very effective. They are six frames in total. The first three frames are of a normal render, and the next three are the same as the first three frames, except the frames are inverted. 'Bad Habits' have been experimenting with some really cool animation techniques that can keep you watching the loops for ages.[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top="0px" padding_bottom="0px"][vc_column fade_animation_offset="45px" width="1/2"][image type="rounded" link="true" src="316" alt="optical illusions" href="http://www.amagiciansmind.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/tumblr_alien_badhabits.gif" title="" info_content="" lightbox_caption="" id="" class="" style=""][/vc_column][vc_column fade_animation_offset="45px" width="1/2"][image type="rounded" link="true" src="317" alt="motion graphics optical illusions" href="http://www.amagiciansmind.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/tumblr_badhabits-galaxy.gif" title="" info_content="" lightbox_caption="" id="" class="" style=""][image type="rounded" link="true" src="318" alt="optical illusions drawings" href="http://www.amagiciansmind.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/tumble__badhabits_shapes.gif" title="" info_content="" lightbox_caption="" id="" class="" style=""][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top="0px" padding_bottom="0px"][vc_column fade_animation_offset="45px" width="1/2"][text_output]
