These “Frankentoys” are made up of recycled parts.  Notice how the head on the right casts a shadow on the one to the left, reinforcing that the two heads are indeed in the same space.  http://bit.ly/cR0ySz

This optical illusion shelf looks like wallpaper rippling off the wall, but notice the slight shifts in the pattern where the shelves join the wall. http://bit.ly/3uGHP2

This Japanese chair isn’t really floating.  Made out of clear acrylic, it is painted with woodgrain that fades to clear down the legs.  Look closely to see the faint outline of the legs below the paint.  http://bit.ly/dhaDbh

Look carefully at what appears to be the sky in this clever reflection photo.  The greenish clouds are actually algae at the surface of the mirror-smooth river.   http://bit.ly/8W4s3G

The owner of this guitar store decided the security fence looked like a guitar amplifier—and decided to decorate this Southampton, England, storefront accordingly. http://bit.ly/9z3Eia

Look carefully at the cloud patterns in the water and you’ll see that they aren’t actually reflections.  The horizon and fishermen were added to the scene as well.  http://bit.ly/BDHa

The final product of a Photoshop tutorial, notice that there is no other object in the picture to give scale: the airplane is just a model. http://bit.ly/6BOHWZ

Tiny people or a giant hat?  Neither!  This is an example of forced perspective: the hat is much closer to the camera than the people.  The lack of other objects to provide scale makes this illusion more convincing.  http://bit.ly/7H0yC
