OPTICAL ILLUSIONS. A FEW GOOD ESSAYS

MY OPTICAL ILLUSION

I'm going to talk about my best optical illusion. A truck that I saw during my travel in United States.

I was in a freeway of California, inside of my car and a truck overtook me. But it wasn't an usual track, it was a Mars snack truck!!! At first sight it looked a real and big snack and I thought that the caramel was going to fall on the floor. After several seconds I understood what was happening, it was an optical illusion because it couldn't be a real snack... I was very impacted but I liked it very much.

Well it has been my favorite optical illusion of all my life and I remember it like aN amazing anecdote.

This is a photo that I took with my camera that incredible day.

Yesterday I went to a museum and saw a picture that was amazing. It impacted me so much. In this picture, at first sight you can see a man, but if you see well, you will see a woman taking a coffee and reading. It's so strange.

In this kind of picture you must see very well and know that it is an optical illusion and must have a lot of secrets hidden. Another thing that you might get impressed with  is the video. In this video appears a magician called Dynamo. If you saw some videos of this magician, you would know how his tricks work.

But if you don't see his tricks you should see them. So, Dynamo is a magician that  plays with you brain because you see things that don't happen, for example IT is impossible that he can put one coin  inside a bottle only by  hiting it. That's why all his tricks must have some trap.

One of the most things in world I like are the optical illusions, it's truth I'm very surprised with them because you can see amazing things. I have seen many when I was little and I was bored, I was looking for in internet and I found a lot of pages and explications of every one. 

I'm going to talk about two:

The first is an optical illusion where you can see two colours, black and white. You have to look at the picture during 30 seconds without wink or the less possible and later you look at a wall and you wink very fast, if you do it well, you will see to Jesus, for me it's surprising, I was very frightened when I saw it. 

The second it's sensation of movement, the principal colours you see are orange and purple or pink, they are forms more or less geometric shapes like a circle or a sphere, in the first image there are different distorted forms and these form the whole sphere/circle, and in the second there are little squares or rectangles forming the sphere/circle. You should see how the images are in moving all the time!! They bother me when I'm looking their a moment and makes me feel like I was falling down in a hole.

There are a lot of optical illusions and all the possible kinds you can't imagine, they are a lovely invent in my opinion, I'm not never tired of look at them!!
