Colorful Illusions: Tricks to Fool Your Eyes

They're beautiful, subtle, and they all play visual tricks! Step into the color zone...where cool effects are the rule and nothing is what it first appears to be. Colors can always fool you -- making objects seem larger, smaller, faster, or even better looking than they really are. And, when they interact with a range of very special forms and shapes, the optical magic becomes more powerful still. The trick is in those backgrounds: the black makes the complementary colors come forward, while the flatter gray (closer in tone to the arrows) pushes them back. Each illusion will really grip your attention -- and the fascination never ends because every one is like a multi-part puzzle, with so many different aspects to figure out. Just try one out and see if you can tell what's going on!Nurosi, Aki is the author of 'Colorful Illusions: Tricks to Fool Your Eyes' with ISBN 9780606248730 and ISBN 0606248730.
