Dragon Paper Sculpture Illusion.

We’ve featured this "hollow face" dragon paper sculpture illusion a while ago, but recently I ran across a video of it and was just as astounded as I was back then. Here it is: hit play or go to Link [Google Video] – via Illusions

    That was so cool! I printed one up and cut it out.
    But it's not as impressive once I assembled it myself. I'm too aware of the 'real' structure and it's hard to look past that.
    I'll glance at it later in the day (after I forget about it for awhile) and see if it fools me.

    The real one doesn't work unless you close one eye.

    It helps if you smoke something Owen... Then close your eyes... You'll see lot's of dragons following your every move...

    You DON'T need to close one eye, it can help, but if you hold a light source behind you , and don't cast any deceiving shadows on the dragon, the illusion WILL WORK.

    Basically, what ruins it is that our eye figures out theres a discrepancy between the shadow were seeing and the shadow that should be there.

    Try it!

    I just took my scissors, a razer and some glue. Assembled it, and it works. Just stay off the LSD when trying...
