Analytical Illusions: Video Analysis

In the video there were several different illusions that showed us how one’s perception can be easily manipulated. One showcase was about the “crazy nuts”, which showed two perpendicular nuts that seemed to be moving or sliding across each other, when in actuality, the notes were rotating. Each time the movement occurred our minds had a momentary lapse before realizing what was truly happening in the illusion.

I found two optical illusions enjoyable. One was about the manipulation on shapes. In the beginning it seemed that the box was a rectangular image. The man rotated the box displaying a mashed up curved shape. The second surprising illusion was the image on the cologne bottle. I have seen that image surfacing all over social media testing
