Impossible Optical Illusions more books like this

by Al Seckel

They defy the rules of space, but captivate the mind. Most of these visions can't exist in the real world--only on the flat page where artists can play with perspective. "An Impossible Staircase" goes up or down endlessly, with no highest or lowest step. All the other images are equally mind-boggling.

Geometric Optical Illusions more books like this

by Al Seckel

It defies logic! When you look at these images, you'll have a hard time believing what the captions say about their size, shape, or other geometric aspect. For example, two tables "appear" radically different to the naked eye--but they're actually identical in size and shape. Each one is eye-opening.
