Melt Your Brain With This Anamorphic Illusion

Hold on to your heads, everyone, 'cause they're about to explode.

The video above shows three anamorphic illusions -- distorted print images that, when viewed at the right angle, appear to "pop out" as actual objects -- of a Rubik's cube, roll of tape and sneaker. At first, each image looks like it's a real item on top of a sheet of paper. But when the paper is spun in a circle, the trickery is revealed.

There's a four-legged surprise at the end too (hint: the Internet's favorite animal).

Check it out for yourself. And if your brain hasn't completely liquefied yet, try the illusions at home by downloading the Rubik's cube, tape and shoe images.
