Optical Illusion Compilation Video

Today, I’m going to be posting up another optical illusion video that I certainly hope all of you out there enjoy. It’s nice to mix things up with videos here and there, as it gives us a much needed break from the typical static image optical illusions I’ve been posting up. Once again, this is another new optical illusion that was submitted to me via the MoIllusions Facebook page. The person that sent me this video said that this was the best optical illusions video — ever. Also, I just realized that by posting up this illusion that I’ve posted up user submitted illusions for the past three days. That’s totally awesome and I’d like to thank all of you for submitting your illusions to me.


Now, prepare yourself, because this is going to be a compilation video of some amazing illusions. I guarantee that some of these are going to blow your mind. Scroll down to check them out.






So, what do you think? Pretty cool stuff, huh? Which illusion from the video was your favorite? Let me know by leaving a comment in the comments section below.
