Optical Illusions Part 2
Thursday, 17 December 2015 | Direct Specs
How Many Legs Does This Elephant Have?

Another famous illusion that has appeared in various forms (for example, the 'impossible trident') but which remains equally satisfying and perplexing to this day!
Optical Illusions Part 1
Wednesday, 11 November 2015 | Direct Specs
This illusion, in which two faces are visible, first appeared about 150 years ago. If you're having trouble seeing both faces, the second image shows only the salient parts - the red line can be either the old lady's mouth (she is looking down and to the left) or the young lady's choker (she is looking away from us to the left).
