Variation on the Curvature blindness illusion by Kohske Takahashi. The line shapes does not change. The shading pattern creates the look of either circles or diamonds. View an animation here: youtube.com/shorts/bgK6C...

I'm a huge fan of geometric vanishes. This is a cute reworking of Sam Loyd's 'Get off the earth' puzzle. I made it to use in my school maths magic shows.

Colour illusion. I only used red, blue and yellow lines to make this but can you see any more colours? Viewed best from a distance or zoomed out. Animation based on @akiyoshikitaoka.bsky.social research into colour illusions.
