OUR REVIEW

Optical illusions deceive our sight, confound our reasoning, and throughout the human history have starred plenty of "supernatural" phenomena. This book tells us about the mechanisms that cause us to have optical illusions, but above all, it displays a wide collection of these, seen in different drawings. Thanks to them, the readers can experience per se such optical illusions, and be amazed as they see things that later they can check as being unreal.

In our opinion, the best characteristic of this book is its capacity, almost always impossible in a book, of allowing the reader to carry out direct experiments with its own pages, in this case by means of the exclusively visual nature of the theme dealt with here.
