    These pages demonstrate visual phenomena, and »optical« or »visual illusions«. The latter is more appropriate, because most effects have their basis in the visual pathway, not in the optics of the eye. When I find the time I will expand the explanations, to the degree that these phenomena are really understood; any nice and thoughtful comment welcome. You may be glad to know: There are no tasteless surprises here; you know, these infantile pranks where you scrutinize a picture and suddenly an ugly face (or the opposite end) screams at you… Donâ€t distress yourself if you donâ€t see the effect described, even if trying carefully. For many illusions, there is a small percentage of people with perfectly normal vision who just donâ€t see it, for reasons currently unknown.

    Fantastic 'visual' illusions. Proof that what we perceive of the world happens in our heads. A picture is worth a thousand lies. Trust your ear, watch your eyes. You won't see it till you believe it.
