Do you perceive a sphere in the image below?

Most people will perceive a sphere in the white space of this image, but the fact is that no sphere physically exists.  The placement of the “spikes” makes it appear that they are somehow attached to a sphere.

To say that “Brusspup has done it again” would be an understatement.  In the following video, Brusspup creates a series of very realistic anamorphic illusions that will simply blow you away.  The objects look so real that you want to reach out and touch them… and then he moves the paper revealing the illusion.

The Mirage 3D Hologram Generator creates a small, full-color hologram using curved mirrors.  It looks like an object is hovering above the unit, but when you go to touch it, there is nothing but air.  The object is actually located inside of the unit itself.
