A sheet of white paper ... And various optical illusions [video]

Anamorphic illusions are not exactly new. I mean, you probably already saw some news about a guy who painted Coke bottles or underworld tickets on the sidewalk of some populous city. But the effect never seems to lose its ability to surprise, as the artist responsible for the video footage below showed.

“This is very simple, but always very interesting to watch, ” said YouTube user brusspup. In fact, it has to be said: both Rubik's cube and tape and sneakers really impress - one has to wait for the paper to finally spin to convince itself that they are flat images.

It is worth noting, however: Unlike what the pose might suggest, the cat in the end is not an illusion.

Make your own anamorphosis at home

In addition to making the video available, the helpful brussup also shared the downloadable files. “I include the images in this video for you to download and try on your own, ” the description says. “Print them at 8.5 x 14. Cut the paper any way you want to add more than one effect.” For those interested in DIY, just click here, here and here.
