Illusions

During one of our book club discussions, we talked about the word illusions in the classroom and tried to come up with some examples.  As a follow-up, I have posted below more illusions to view.  As a challenge, it would be great if a student could find more informaton about illusions to share with the class.  For example, why do we see things differently, how do magicians use illusions, etc.?

Stand 5 to 10 feet back and you'll start to see Marilyn Monroe instead of Albert Einstein
