You won't believe your eyes - and you shouldn't! Every image in this sequel to the popular Optical Illusion Magic is out to trick your perception with afterimages, visual traps, and distorted perspectives. Sometimes you will have to shift the page to see the magic, as in "Slants on the Side" where parallel lines seem to come together at the bottom and spread apart at the top. In other illusions, pattern and shape make all the difference, producing spirals where they don't really exist. * Distorted shapes * Twists and challenges * Misguided processing * Microviews * * Room for mistakes * Tall stuff * Shifting attention * Creature feature * Illusions in print * * What's my line? * Standing out * Problematic patterns * Highs and lows of light * * Towering tilts * Building illusions * Hot stuff * Moon illusion * Rise and sink * * Shady comparisons * Primary colours * Colour tricks * 4-colour rainbow * Disco spin * * Weird spinners * Fantascope * Zootrope * Diving into depth * Overlap overload * * Vantage advantage * Stereophotos * Red/Blue 3-D * Making anaglyphs * Megaviews *
