Magical Illusions|Optical Illusions and Magic tricks revealed

Cylindric mirror optical illusions are  fun, and something I  posted before at other of my blogs. Today I show a collection of  cylindric mirror illusions . The optical illusions works when a cylinder mirror is placed at the correct center position of seemingly non-understandable and blurred image.

If the cylinder has been placed correctly, you can see what the artist wanted you to see -  This would be interesting to use among cyphers to code and encode hidden messages.

Today it is probably easy to create these kind of images with modern computers and image editing software, but back then it used great amount of talent to create something like this. The effect presented here is called Anamorphosis, or anamorphic cylinders illusion.  I believe this was the correct procedure. Am not sure though… Many more examples can be seen in Anamorphism.
