These shapes never overlap but if you view form a distance (or with blurred vision) they appear to. This is a static image but I’ve uploaded an animated one onto YouTube: youtube.com/shorts/0cq9L...

The Ratatouille fountain at @disneylandparisen.bsky.social has a hidden animation built into it. I’ve made a video showing it in action comprising 16 frames repeated.

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...

The small circles ARE moving around the larger one. But which way? #illusion

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.
