I recently attended a rather special conference at which was held the 2009 Best Illusion of the Year contest. There, I met Dr. Shen Lin, a mathematician, who soon solved one of my mentalism tricks, after some head-scratching and deep thought! At dinner that night, I also met Professor Thomas V. Papathomas, Director of the Laboratory of Vision Research with Rutgers University Department of Biomedical Engineering. He forwarded me an excellent illusion, to be viewed at YouTube. Take a look, and be amused and amazed!
Well it's good, but hands up who hasn't seen it at least ten times already.

Why would the fact that you have already seen something make it any less interesting?
Nice illusion, new to me

It's bizarre how our brain will shift its visual interpretation of something. One second it's a face following you with its eyes and the next it's a negative image.

This is great illusion. Many of you may have seen this with the "statues" in the pre-show/queue area of Disneyland's "Hanunted Mansion" attraction.
