1. WHICH CIRCLE IS BIGGER?

Actually, both dots are of the same size!! If you do not believe then check it with your fingers itself.

2. LOOK AT THE BOTTOM AND SEE THE GRID FIXING ITSELF

The grid fixed itself, isn’t it? Well, that’s just your imagination!

3. THE HERMANN GRID ILLUSION

How many black dots can you see? Well, there are none. All of them are yellow.

4. THIS IS NOT MOVING!!

This picture is a still image and not moving, but your brain perceives it in that way.

When we look off into the distance, objects seem like they are closer together as they become further away. Just like the moon and the sun. In this image, there are two lines given on a railroad which appear to be of different lengths, but in reality, they are of the same length.

12. THE LILAC CHASER ILLUSION

Look at the centre of the image for 30 seconds and the pink circles will disappear. Lilac chaser illusion is a visual illusion in which we have to look at the centre and then some visual effects take place.

13. ANOTHER LILAC CHASER ILLUSION

Look at the centre of the image for 30 seconds and you will that this image is fading.

14. THE IMPOSSIBLE TRIDENT

Look closely: The three prongs miraculously transform into two at the end of the fork. The more you look at it, the more improbable it becomes. How does this happen?

Often said to have made its debut on the cover of the March 1965 issue of “Mad Magazine” as original graphic art, Impossible trident is also known as the Devil’s Fork, Impossible Fork, or a blivet. The lines are joined at the end to create the illusion of a prong. And because our minds tend to reconstruct 3D imagery out of the flat 2D image, it creates the illusion of depth

15. IT’S TIME FOR AN HALLUCINATIONS!!

I hope you definitely enjoyed this!
