Ambiguous Cylinder Illusion

ERMAHGERD, How does it do that? These 3D printed objects are so wonderfully weird and mind breaking! Aren’t they just the coolest?

This video is from a contest called the Illusion of the Year in which participants develop various illusions that confound and confuse the mind. The author of this illusion is Kokichi Sugihara from the Meiji University in Japan.

Zach Muller is going viral with this wonderfully geeky card manipulation. Wow. There’s a loopback to Contact Juggling here, Zach credits his inspiration for ‘Magnetic Cards’ concept as’Magnetic Batons’ and links to Yuta & Okotanpe performing at Heso Revolutiion 2012.
On his website Okotanpe gives credit to the pioneer of magnetic baton, the wonderful French Contact Juggler Pich, who you can see performing with Magnetic Batons here.
Zach, recently shot a Japanese credit card commercial.
