Reviews

[H · Rating 3 out of 5]

This volume of Optical Illusions 2 ventures into the realm of having you build the model and then seeing the illusion. It can be very much recommended for those who like to build and for those who want to see the "man behind the curtain." If you would not like to assemble these illusion, there is still plenty of eye-trickery to be had.

Another great DK Books book, this one offering you a variety of optical illusions you can try both by putting the book up to face and watching things move or popping out the paper crafts at the front of the book and making your own.
