New York Exclusive Illusions:
THERMAL GRILL
The thermal grill illusion is a sensory illusion. When someone presses a hand against the grill, he or she experiences the illusion of burning heat.
FOLLOWING EYES
The following eyes are an optical illusion in which the perception of hollow concave eyes look like normal convex eyes. If you stare at them and walk left and right – they seem to follow you around.
ZOETROPE
A zoetrope is a device that produces the illusion of motion from a rapid succession of static pictures. This variation uses a rapidly flashing strobe light to illuminate the models, producing an illusion of motion.
