Charlie Chaplin Optical Illusion


Watch as a mask of Charlie Chaplin rotates around on a stick. The hollow portion of this mask appears to stick out even though it is concave.

It seems that I only notice the illusion once the back of the mask is directly in front of the camera.

I see it all the way through the rotation on the back of the mask. It was very disorienting at first.

Really cool, i´d love to reproduce it!

You’ll have to forgive me for thinking this is rather pointless, and anyone “fascinated” by it should really get away from the computer & go outside for awhile.

The lightning setup is perfect for you to see the illusion.
