They are labelled Optical Illusions, but they are not, really, they are animations. You actually do see what you see, because the slots hide different things at different times.
COOL! :-) Did you see the one he linked to VIA this video, the one with candles? Very effective, and must have taken immense patience and concentration!
Jeff, yes indeed, movies is the illusion of animation, I discounted that as being something else than those things we normally call Optical Illusions, though I guess technically it is one.

"...They are labelled Optical Illusions, but they are not, really, they are animations."
Really? The illusion of movement doesn't count? How does one define "illusion" then?
(Or... are movies "illusions" I wonder. After all, they are made of still images; [arguing against myself].)
Amazon has a great little book on these here
Endless fun.
Thanks for the link.
OMG!
I just saw the price at Amazon. $99!
I bought my copy for $9 a while back.
What on earth is going on?
