This kinetic sculpture optical illusion is sure to blow your mind!
At first glance, this looks like a typical sculpture, doesn’t it?
It’s pretty cool, but nothing spectacular, right? Wrong!
There’s way more than meets the eye to this sculpture! Watch as the sculpture is spun…
When the wheel of the sculpture is spun, it creates quite the trippy optical illusion, no? Imagine what fun you could have with guests if this kinetic sculpture illusion was in your house! Well, the good news is, you can have this awesome moving sculpture in your home. You just have to build it yourself from some woodworking plans by Clayton Boyer.

Zico, the leader of a rebel Kingdom, was taken captive by an opposing kingdom.
“Give your daggers,” said one of the generals, “Or you are to be executed. But since you killed so many of our knights, we shall give you a small test.
You must say a statement. If the statement is true, we burn you on a stake. If the sentence is false, we stab you through the heart. If you do not say anything, you are thrown to the lions. If you say something we can’t verify, you will be forced to drink a cup of poison. If it is not a statement or if it is a paradox, we simply toss you into the nearby volcano.
We shall give you one hour to ponder.”
What should Zico say?

For friends or family.
But, whether written down or not,
It’s best you stick to me.

Not just some old technique.

Or nose, or tongue, or cheek.

We’ve all seen the monstrous sidewalk chalk art illusions, right? Sure, they’re incredibly impressive and take tons of talent to pull off, but sometimes small scale sidewalk chalk art packs just as much of a punch!
Check out this awesome small scale chalk art design by artist David Zinn to see what I mean…
This piece of sidewalk art was created on a concrete step. The cat above is getting ready to pounce on the little man coming out the door below. It’s so well drawn and shaded that it almost appears real!
I love this pie of chalk art! Although it’s small, I think it packs just as much of a punch as some of the massive pieces created by other sidewalk artists! This isn’t the extent of his work either. You can check out more small scale chalk art designs on his website.

The 2016 Olympics are into their secon week in in Rio, Brazil. In honor of this special occasion, I figured that an Olympics-themed optical illusion was in order. Check out this moon and Olympic rings optical illusion from one of the past Olympic games…
This is a perfect example of a perfectly timed photo! The photographer who captured this moon and Olympic rings optical illusion had to be in the perfect place, at the perfect time, and shoot at the perfect angle. It’s like the trifecta of perfectly timed photos, and he or she nailed it! Any earlier or later and the full moon behind the rings would have been off, spoiling the shot.

Without these our brains get bored and lazy and generally underused. One way to introduce novelty into your life is to read something that isn’t your normal choice. Pick up a magazine that you have never read, or look through a section of the newspaper that you normally skip. Go to a library and pick a random book from a random shelf. Can you remember that time when you sat in a waiting room, and picked up a magizine to pass the time?
This is a great way to learn new and interesting things. You never know when you might discover a new interest or learn something that relates to something that you are currently working on.

Some cool body paint illusions have people painted up to look like all sorts of things, from motorcycles to flowers to animals. This particular illusion, though, is more of a combination of a couple different types of illusions. First, obviously, it’s a body paint illusion. But, it’s also a classic type of illusion that makes it look like this person has a hole in their back.
The person’s pose and the paint must have both been perfect to make this illusion! I can’t even imagine how long it must have taken to get this one just right! and Must of given the model a pain in the back!!
