Inverted American Flag Illusion

You have a pretty good idea of what is going to happen in this illusion, but it is pretty cool, regardless. Stare at the center of the flag for at least 20 second - even longer to enhance the effect - and then look at the white area of your computer screen, a light colored wall, or a white peice of paper.

Now try this - try it again, but this time don't stare at the center. Move your eyes over to the right or left. Then, when you are looking at the after image of the flag, as your eyes try to focus on it, you'll see that they can't, and the flag will continue to slide around in your vision. As you may have guessed, this is because the image is burned into a certain place on your eye, and as you naturally will try to focus on the center and get it to stop moving, it will move around even more.

You've probably seen something similiar when you look at a bright light or even the sun.

I realize that not everyone who visits this site is from America, so I do plan to add a few more countries' flags in the futre. Pretty cool American Flag optcial illusion, isn't it?

This is a perfect optical illusion for kids and adults!

Is this just a Watermelon or a Real Face?

So you're at your friends party, and they happen to have a table of assorted snacks
. As you walk up to the table of treats, you jump back in surprise, someone is looking at you from within the watermelon !

This isn't exactly a watermelon recipe
, however if you're having a party and serving it, why not have the artist in your group carve out your watermelon like this. Send us a pic and we'll post it to the site.

While we're on the subject... Are you curious if the watermelon is a fruit or a vegetable? Go ahead take your guess now before you read on because we are about to tell you! It is the fruit of a plant that was originally native to the southern part of Africa. However, the answer isn't definitive, because the dictionary defines a vegetable as "anything made or obtained from plants". But we're going to go with FRUIT.

It's amazing what people will do with food. One time my brother ate an entire watermelon in one sitting. It may have been a small one, but it still made him sick!
Watermelon Face Pretty Cool !

Shimmering Optical Illusion

Here's what to do for this Optical Illusion in above Picture:

Look into the center of this spiral for a while. After a little while, you'll start to see white lines radiating out from the center of the picture. Stare into the middle for longer, and blink a few times! You might see some more tricky white flashes, and what they call "scintilation" in the optical illusion world. Pretty Cool na!
