Dragon Illusion

A practical optical illusion for children and adults. Here are the instructions to build it.

How does it work? If we move around when viewing a solid object, our brain knows how the object we are looking at should behave. However the dragon gives us the wrong clues, because we mis-interpret what its shape is. We assume that the nose of the dragon is pointing out towards us, but in fact the dragon’s head is concave.

Below are links to the images found in this video so you can print them out and try it yourself. You’ll have to print the template onto a transparency. If you have an ink jet printer you have to use a special transparency made specifically for ink jet printers. When you print the images and the template make sure to print them all at the same size

if any of the sizes change the effect will not work.
