Prepare to be amazed! Inside the covers of this incredible, colourful collection are hundreds of the world's most powerful optical illusions. They're beautiful to behold and stunning in their trickery.

Some of the mind-boggling images seem to spring into action, vibrating, pulsing, and spinning like a hula hoop. Other ambiguous illusions feature two subjects in one: the fun is in finding them both in the single pictureβ€”including a mouse playing hide and seek in a cat's face and a strange desert mirage where palm trees imperceptibly morph into camels.

And still more, like "The Impossible Terrace", which couldn't exist off the page: just try to figure out if you're viewing the space from above or below. Every one is astonishing.

The Ultimate Book of Optical Illusions by Al Seckel invites you into a world of visual enigmas and fascinating tricks of the eye. Discover illusions that will delight and perplex in equal measure.
