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.

5.0 out of 5 stars
This is one beautiful, tricky book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Colorful Illusions: Tricks to Fool Your Eyes (Hardcover)
Entertaining and beautiful, with clear explanations. I thought this would only be a book of illusions. So I started reading it and found myself paused by the real beauty of this book. It's so attractive, page after page. I teach elementary school students and brought the book to my class. They were captivated, and I was impressed by how easy it was to read and follow. The writer really explains, in clear language, how color tricks the eye. A few teachers borrowed it for themselves, and got just as much out of it. Children and adults. Entertaining and beautiful. Art and writing really working together. That's the measure of a great book. I recommend Colorful Illusions.

A book you will geniunely enjoy,
By 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.
