Hey everyone! I have not posted something in a LONG time so I thought I would try and post something that raises your intrest and makes you think. I am a magician an I LOVE illusion. Illusion is one of the passions that God gave me. But there are more than just magic tricks when it comes to illusion. I am also an artist and as an artist I create anamorphic art. Anamorphosis is a word that most people are unfamiliar with. Anamorphosis means that you must see it with the aid of something else before you can the full effect, Whether that be a certain angle, a mirror or any other tool. Some of you might know about an artist named Julian Beever. He creates 3D sidewalk art using anamorphosis. My question is this. How do these optical illusions relate to the magic tricks we know and love? How are they different? Below I have posted some examples of anamorphic art if you are curious as to what it is.
