Inside Out Window Illusion
Take a good look at this window. Are the shudders turned inward or outward? From the top they look out but from the bottom they appear in and the entire window seems to face left or right depending on how you look at it.

Baby in Picture Illusion
Can you find the hidden baby in this picture? The baby should pop-out at you right away but if you're stuck - here's a hint: Look at the picture as a whole.

The Impossible Picture
This optical illusion image makes my brain hurt. What's throwing me off is the grid underneath the structure which makes it appear as though the upright posts have horizontal space between them - too trippy.

The Jesus Optical Illusion
The Jesus illusion really does work. Stare at the four dots that are lined up on the screen for a while. Afterward, stare at a blank wall - a white wall preferably. Blink a couple times if you have to and then you'll see what appears to be a clear face of a man with a beard.

Face in Trees Illusion
The female face is in the open space between the tall trees with the lower branch forming the mouth.

The Spinning Silhouette Optical Illusion
This is a very bizarre dancer optical illusion. At first glance the spinning lady appears to be circling in a clockwise motion. But if you look at the spinning dancer long enough - the lady will appear to change direction and start spinning counter-clockwise.

For me the switch didn't just happen - I had to look at her shadow and picture it going counter-clockwise. After about a minute, my brain flipped and the lady just started spinning backwards. Actually - I can't seem to convince my brain to get her to start going clockwise again. But it is pretty wild when you see the switch happen.

This spinning illusion has also been referred to as a Right Brain vs. The Left Brain challenge.

It's a tough one and it takes a lot of focus.

Sailing Ship Illusion
Move your eyes around this picture and the sailboat will appear to move through the water and clouds. The picture is actually not animated at all but the colors and position of the dots make it appear as though it's moving.

The Hidden Tiger Optical Illusion
This is not an easy optical illusion. It was created by American wildlife artist Rusty Rust, and it shows a huge Bengal Tiger standing in a bamboo forest. Your mission now is to look for “The Hidden Tiger” in the image above. Where is the hidden tiger? Once you see it, it seems so obvious.

Spinning Wheel Illusion - Picture
Stare at one of the 5 wheels. It will appear to be motionless but the other four will seem as though they are turning. Whichever one you stare at will appear to suddenly stop spinning. In reality - none of the wheels are turning at all.

The Green Dot Illusion
This illusion is not near as difficult as the Spinning Lady Illusion. Just stare at the cross in the middle and you will immediately see a green dot circling around it. But if you try and follow the green dot it vanishes again.

Three Bird Smiley Face
What are the odds of three birds forming a smiley face while their flying overhead and then accidentally capturing it in a photo?


Holding the Sun
This is an impressive illusion with the sun setting on the horizon and a person on the beach placing his hands perfectly as if holding it.

YOu can't find "the hidden tiger"

I found it. it's not what you think you are looking for.
I know, I was staring at it trying really hard to see it and then it jumped at me! LOL

I was so like.........Whoa.......not what I was thinking at all! :lol-sign:

After the "its not what you are looking for" clue, I went back and found it pretty quickly. Kind of a bummer!

This is the first time I've had the spinning dancer thing work for me.
