Bats and birds that look like faces. Skulls that pop up on anything white. Three donkeys with three ears be-tween them. And walls that disappear. Relax, they're only optical illusions. Examine thousand-year-old drawings, find out about closure, perspective, and "the Rubin vase", and how these tools can untangle the tricks found in this volume.

Great little book - great value
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
My seven year old hasn't put this book down since he received it as a gift. It is just right for small hands, car rides, and waiting at the restaurant. Some of the illusions were familiar to me, but many were not. There are about 300 total, with clues/answers in the back of the book.
Keeps you busy

My family really enjoyed this book! There were are large number of variations on a theme that were new and interesting to us. One thing we really liked was the fact that the book had been done as a mix-no chapters on various categories of illusions. The children kept coming to us as they discovered the secrests of the numerous illusions and puzzle pictures. The book has kept them amazed and amused for days, in fact they don't want to put it down. The book is a great size to take on a long car ride. The enjoyment we have received from this book has made it an excellent value. This is a great gift for others, or for your own family.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED-GREAT VALUE FOR PRICE

We really enjoyed this book-while it contained many versions of what could be called 'standard' illusions, there were a large number of variations on a theme that were new to us. One thing we really liked was the fact that the book had been done as a 'hotch potch'-no chapters on various categories of illusions-the children kept coming to us as they discovered the secrets of the numerous illusions and puzzle pictures. It has kept them amazed and amused for days, in fact they didn't want to put it down. The book is a handy size and it is ideal for children to take on a long journey-we have had lonts of enjoyable time with this book. Hours of fun! Highly recommended
