This is the best optical illusion ever. Look at this friendly dragon what I did cut out and stick together:

Now this is the same model, photographed from the side, and I more promise that I didn’t touch it at all:

The dragon’s head appears to move and follow you around as you observe it from different positions! Make your own from the instructions at Grand Illusions [check out the downloadable video for a better preview of the effect].

COOL - I spotted this last week (THINK I miniblogged it) but didn’t print it out. Guess what I’ll be doing tonight. Is it as freaky in real life as the video suggests?

Re #1: It is, even in black & white [didn’t think my Department would like me wasting the toner on the colour printer with this ;)]. Even though I know how it works, it still fools my brain.
