Can You Give me a Hand Optical Illusion

Yesterday was a beautiful day. If I remember correctly, the temperature outside was in the 90′s and it was very sunny. Before I went out and enjoyed the beautiful weather, I was looking through the messages I received on the MoIllusions Facebook and I noticed that someone had sent me a message with an attachment. I love receiving messages like this, because it typically means that someone has submitted a new optical illusion for me to check out.

I opened up the message and it contained the optical illusion that I’m posting up today. I was told that this would be an awesome optical illusion once you figure out exactly what’s going on and that’s a valid assessment. This is a great optical illusion and I’d like to thank the reader who submitted this one to me. Scroll down to check it out.

Some people may consider this to be a scary optical illusion, because you’re wondering where the hand is coming from in the picture. After all, you don’t see anyone inside the jacket; do you? However, it’s just the hand of the man that’s sleeping on the floor.

Ready for another optical illusion? See if you can spot the hidden object in this image.
