Town-sized illusion
This time, if the optical illusion is clearly architectural, it’s blown up to a full Swiss village. Felice Varini applied here the rules that we well know to all the building of this nice little town.

A bottle disappears
This is more science experiment than actual optical illusion, but since glycerin and glass have about the same refractive indices, just putting a glass bottle (or any other glass object) in a container filled with water and 1/3 of glycerin makes it disappear.

Water flowing up!
This marvelous fountain created by James Dyson seems to be willing to prove that water is not submitted to the same gravity forces as the rest of the known universe. waters seem to flow up the four slopes.
As a matter of fact, water really flows in the usual direction and is obeying physics laws, but the combination of a very thin laminated flow on the top of slopes and of bubbles dragged in the flow under them build the necessary illusion.
Would I have a garden or a loft, I would want to have that fountain to decorate it.
