Hi Joe,

Those are some very interesting illusions, what will the mind think of next to hoodwink this poor traveller.

Did you try the one with #1 and #0 to find the blind spot in the center of each eye, that is a really eerie one when i saw it was true. 8)

Our brain and mind do play many tricks on us all the time, and we think we are so smart, ha. :-[

Hi George,

That is exactly right, the eyes are really not "seeing" an illusion, the illusion is in how our brains/minds perceive what is right in front of us.

Kind of like our spiritual journey sometimes!

Peace,

Joe
