Synopses & Reviews
Prepare to be amazed! Inside the covers of this incredible, colorful collection are hundreds of the worldand#8217;s most powerful optical illusions. Theyand#8217;re beautiful to behold, and stunning in their trickery. Some of the mind-boggling images seem to spring into action, vibrating, pulsing, and spinning like a hula hoop. Other ambiguous illusions feature two subjects in one: the fun is in finding them both in the single pictureand#151;including a mouse playing hide and seek in a catand#8217;s face and a strange desert mirage where palm trees imperceptibly morph into camels. And still more, like and#147;The Impossible Terrace,and#8221; which couldnand#8217;t exist off the page: just try to figure out if youand#8217;re viewing the space from above or below. Every one is astonishing.
