+InsertFlashyName Ask for the straw first, then when the waiter returns with a straw say "I found one", then pull it out of your hand. Then take the good straw and smack the waiter with it.

Totally agree. Hard to watch anything in non HD, so spoiled.

[@Rukalin]

That illusion with the turned around eyes and mouth have always looked weird to me no matter how it's oriented.

[@ThisNameIsBanned]

+Linkaru The deal is, a "normal" human will look mainly in the eyes and mouth if they look at a face. If you make that primary parts upside down, it will look way more out of place, than if you look at the correct eyes/mouth but anything else flipped. It will look weird no matter what, as it is wrong , the focus is just different.

[@Ryu_D1st]

God:Nah fam ima retire God after he finds out the tricks:Hmmmm ima be 10000000 times stronger.

[@TheVibeDude]

The one with the glass of water is really stupid... it mirrors the word and since wow is the same forwards and backwards it doesn't change...

[@MrMathEli]

No shit sherlock

[@TheVibeDude]

Go Pros That's exactly what I'm saying... why was that even an optical illusion.

[@EclipsisTenebris]

+Charles Burgenson It's not an optical one... It's a mental one... you just set it up like an optical one, so that the one watching it, doesn't expect the mental one.

[@TheVibeDude]

Dracul JOSHI Then why is it in a video about optical illusions lmao.

[@EclipsisTenebris]

Charles Burgenson Because it's performed like one?

[@DD9and10]

Who noticed at least the final illusion, the 3 letters on the door closer to the camera spelled out TEN as in 10th illusion, weird!

Ahhhh man.. You really looked into it very well.

the wow was reversed just like mom it wouldn't change since it looks the same either way

[@ahoors1812]

Wow and wee illusion is easy When you put a glass of water in front of something it turns the thing from right to left to left to right or left to right to right to left, right? So since Wow is spelled the same way, both from left to right, and right to left And Wee Isn't.... Wee is obviously going to be different.
