Blue and Green are the same colour?

fiveub · 26 Jun 2009 at 20:10

Take a look at this, a spiral... One is green, and the other is blue? Or one is blue and one is green?

You're wrong. They are in fact both the same colour. - It is funny how our brain reacts to what our eyes apparently see. I love optical illusion's and trickery, after all I am a magician who likes sleight of hand and other misdirection techniques too.

What optical illusions do you like, and are there any magic performances you like? Share here!

Here is one sleight of hand and misdirection routine I am growing to like:

weird.

What manner of trickery is this?

Slime · 26 Jun 2009 at 20:16

lies, I refuse to believe they are the same colour.

The orange stripes going through the "green" changes our brain pattern to think that both of the same colour are two different colours.

Aha, I didn't believe you until I checked it in GIMP. That's crazy.

Just because I am a magician, does not mean I lie all of the time!

Actually, looking very closely at the screen helps. That's just not right.

very good! Lol... My eyes are fooled!

My dad sent me an email recently. With some pink dots in a circle, and an it played an animation of the pink dots disapearing one after the other very fast, if you stared at the middle, all the dots disapeared! It was quite cool

I checked the RGB values too heh

neat optical trick

I didn't believe you at first.

If you get close enough to only see a section you can see they are the same.

Similar to the first one, one of my favourite optical illusions

For card manipulation, my favourite at the moment are Virtuoso, they are so creative. Look at their trailer here:

And the Gambit re-make here by them:

I may share a video a day, which is related to trickery or magic!
