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 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7338400765555658225&hl=en [Google Video] - via Illusions


You can make your own!

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.

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!
