Midget Man Optical Illusion

Happy Friday everyone, and let the weekend begin! Got any plans for the weekend, and if you don’t, then now is the time to start planning! People usually do things with their families during the weekend, which is exactly what today’s optical illusion is all about! See this lovely family posing for a photograph? See the guy behind the family? What does it look like to you because it can look like any number of things.

What do you see? The most obvious answer to this question is that the man behind the family is actually riding on the back of one of the family members. However, what else does it look like because it can also look like a family of giants took a vacation! What do you all think of this picture because it is rather hilarious to see this tiny man riding on the back of a giant?

Ready for another cool optical illusion? Check out these amazing shadow illusions. Are they real? Could a giant pile of garbage really be manipulated enough to look that much like people, or is the artist trying to pull a fast one? You take a close look at this collection of shadow illusion and decide for yourself!

The “glass delusion” is a psychiatric disorder, recorded in the late Middle Ages in which the sufferers believed themselves to be made out of glass and likely to shatter into pieces.
