These shapes never overlap but if you view form a distance (or with blurred vision) they appear to. This is a static image but I’ve uploaded an animated one onto YouTube: youtube.com/shorts/0cq9L...

Each year I produce a compilation of the previous year’s illusions that I’ve made. This video on YouTube is not a full account of 2024 but it does feature 10 of my favourite hand crafted effects. Enjoy. youtube.com/shorts/ikc4X...

Variation on the Curvature blindness illusion by Kohske Takahashi. The line shapes does not change. The shading pattern creates the look of either circles or diamonds. View an animation here: youtube.com/shorts/bgK6C...

I'm a huge fan of geometric vanishes. This is a cute reworking of Sam Loyd's 'Get off the earth' puzzle. I made it to use in my school maths magic shows.

Colour illusion. I only used red, blue and yellow lines to make this but can you see any more colours? Viewed best from a distance or zoomed out. Animation based on @akiyoshikitaoka.bsky.social research into colour illusions.
