It seems LEGO finally recognized impossible object illusions as another great (optical illusion) way to promote their product. I’d like to think their inspiration came of this website – specially Escher Style category, but it’s much more likely they stumbled upon some of Andrew Lipson’s work, instead. I liked LEGO very much back being a kid, and have spent hours creating all sorts of incredible structures. I’m sorry it never occurred to me how fun would it be creating something like this. If you like these impossible creations, you’ll surely enjoy Lego Venice and these. Have to go now. Cya tomorrow!

New day, new illusion and some newly registered visitors! Yes that’s right. I’ve never announced the new “Mighty Optical Illusion Members” feature (which is located at the bottom of the sidebar, but I see some of you were smart enough, and already made benefit from it It makes great joy every time I visit my homepage, and see that someone new joined this community – Thanks people! Keep doing it, and as the user number grows, we will gradually roll out some new member-features for you to enjoy. Now for the illusion…

Peter Cami explained everything, so no need for me to elaborate further. Thanks Peter – “Hi, I love your site and because of your widget, I’m drawn to it daily. For a while people have been working on the included piece of art. It’s situated on a steel/glass roof above an open space at the theater. You can see it’s not totally finished yet, but the guys are finishing the last letters. From the first day I knew it was gonna end up like something I’ve seen several times on your site. I’ve always loved these and even thought of integrating something like it in our shops. The text says ‘Zie wat ik zeg dat ik niet zeggen kan’ in Dutch – translated it is ‘See what I say, that I can’t say’. Kind regards and keep updating your site the way you do.“

I thinks we had some pretty quality optical illusions lately. Do you share my opinion? As you probably noticed, Mighty Illusions has always been up to date with world news and politics. Those of you who follow this blog more deeply, remember my reflection on current economic crisis and USA Presidential Elections. Few weeks ago we presented you with brand new Barack Obama afterimage, but this wasn’t our last Presidential illusion – No Sir! Today we bring you another awesome Obama animation. This Scheibe Illusion was first conceived as the Margaret Thatcher Illusion, then updated to George Bush illusion, and finally updated to Barack Obama version. Barack states he is “pro-science”, so he probably won’t mind this.

The explanation of the image should go something like this: “Vestibular Correction keeps the image on your visual cortex steady even though your eyes are moving around wildly. But the vestibular correction system has its limits. What you see below is an animated GIF image which flips every five seconds. First look at the upside down image. Both faces look normal, but when they flip you will see how weird one of the faces really is. We have no trouble recognizing the person, but since we recognize facial features with a whole other part of the brain, the vestibular thing got garbled in part”.
