#1
Look closely at tile A and B. They seem to be different shades of gray. They are actually the same exact shade. Don't believe it? Try opening up the image in Paint or another image editor and put the 2 tiles side by side.

[No.1]

Those are quite good... a few oldies, but i haven't seen half of them :)

[schnell318]

I felt pretty stupid with number eight, you really do ghet stuck trying to say the colour.

[Toronto]

www.ebaumsworld.com
well that must be a new site to somebody that just got the internet :D

[he7lius]

I seen some of them but not all.
number 8 is very tricky as you have to pause to say the colour.

[black_magician]

i always like #23, and some of these that I haven't seen make my head HURT!

[DanielW]

i don't get #4. i see 12 people. is that good or bad??? what's the trick?

[vv1s34ss]

Some of those are downright freaky. Like the one where the images appear to be moving.

[Sachmo12345]

very vey cool

[roverlover]

#1 is really incredible,

#23 is not working on me,i always see the coloured star.

[DanielW]

#1 is really incredible,

#23 is not working on me,i always see the coloured star.
it works for me when my head is about a foot (30cm) away from the monitor.

[SFDMALEX]

Guys are you serious about number 8? I can read it without stumbling or anything, not tricky at all.

[DTM8]

Ive never seen #21, thats a good one

[Fleischmann]

Now that I've opened PS I can say that no1 is fantastic. It seems impossible, but when ya slide one of the squares between the other two..I was pretty amazed.

[hemi_fan]

those are really good. I have this book filled with them, and lots were in there. but some werent. pretty cool stuff.

[DanielW]

this is why eye witnesses should not be a deciding factor in a case with the death penalty. sometimes your eyes can play trick on you.

[Squeek]

i don't get #4. i see 12 people. is that good or bad??? what's the trick?

when the people move, the number changes from bout 7 (i think) to 12. quite funky like the rest if ya ask me :D

[Balls]

i forgot about that blind spot one!!! that's sweet!

[sads]

Learnt most of those in school, but #7 is just plain wierd

[Schwalbe]

This is really cool and original as post. This reminder me a course of psychology when I was in college. :D

[BaseRSX]

You can even print some of these and they still work on paper... like this one...

It's even more impressive seeing it on a piece of paper!

[ARMAN]

cool stuff
