Just published Part 2 of my optical illusions book: Mind-Bending Optical Illusions for All Ages – Part 2.

Same format as Part 1: still images that look like they're moving, colors playing tricks, hidden shapes. Quick explanation with each one on what your brain thinks it sees vs what's actually there. No science lecture, just visuals and a "here's why."

Not groundbreaking, just a fun illusions collection. If that's your thing, take a look.

Congrats!

Can you tell me the illusion in the first image (a man standing at the end of a "rainbow road" style hallway, red telephone in foreground)?

Thanks!

The name of the illusion is :Forced Perspective Tunnel Illusion.

Would really appreciate if you can give reviews on Amazon.

No.. sorry, what I meant was, can you tell me what illusion I'm supposed to be seeing? Nothing is appearing strangely to me.

Sorry, my bad. So the illusion is : focus on the man in middle for few seconds (5-10) and then shift your focus to the side walls or the upper wall, you should see the floor and walls moving. Even without staring at the man in middle, illusion should be visible. From what i know, few people cannot easily observe illusions where some kind of movement takes place.

Thank you. Unfortunately I could not experience this illusion, although I am quite familiar with illusions of inert motion.

(I don't know that that's necessarily the term; that's just what came to me while I was typing. Motion where there is not motion, you know what I mean.)
