Colorful Illusions: Tricks to Fool Your Eyes: Amazon.ca: Aki Nurosi, Mark Shulman: Books

Product Description

Step into the color zone...where cool effects are the rule and nothing is what it first appears to be. Colors can always fool you—making objects seem larger, smaller, faster, or even better looking than they really are. And, when they interact with a range of very special forms and shapes, the optical magic becomes more powerful still. Just try one out and see if you can tell what’s going on.

About the Author

5.0 out of 5 stars A book you will geniunely enjoy, Jan 14 2003

Gina Trelane (San Diego, California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Colorful Illusions: Tricks to Fool Your Eyes (Hardcover)

I noticed that a previous reviewer gives Colorful Illusions as a frequent gift. I do too! The book is a skillful blend of art book, puzzle book, gift book and educational book (but don't tell my children!). We learned a little about how colors can trick your eyes and we enjoy going back and forth over the puzzles. Very artistic, not at all your usual black and white slap-dash illusion book. It is really a book of art. I was also attracted to the easy-to-follow writing, I think Aki Nurosi is a genuine talent and my family looks forward to more books.

This review is from: Colorful Illusions: Tricks to Fool Your Eyes (Hardcover)

My teacher had us read ColorfulIllusions for an assignment and we didn't know what to think until we started reading it. The book is really pretty and really fun to use and figure out the puzzles and it's just so plain and simple and nice to read. You should read the book and try the puzzles and buy it on Amazon. com and you will see what I mean!
