Description Presented here is a vast gallery of many different forms of Optical Illusions. Whether these optical illusions are conveyed through fractals, photographs, architecture, art, or old fashioned pen and ink, they are bound to remind you that "seeing is not believing."

Caution!!!! Some of the optical illusions on this blog may cause dizziness or possibly epileptic seizures. The latter happens when the brain can't handle the conflicting information from your two eyes. If you start feeling unwell when using this website, immediately cover one eye with your hand and then leave the page. Do not close your eyes because that can make the attack worse.

Pyramid Power Optical Illusion

Answer this simple question. Is the circle:

1. Half way up the pyramid?
2. Above half way up the pyramid?
3. Below half way up the pyramid?

At this point many viewing this optical illusion pause. They know it wouldn't be an optical illusion if it wasn't different then it seems.

At first glance (even second and third glance) the circle appears above the point that is half way up the pyramid. The truth is though the circle is exactly at the half way point.

Feel free to pull the ruler out and measure for yourself.
