"Hello. Thank you for your support of our work.

Our first project, 'Crazy Optical Illusions: Artbook', is delayed from our initial estimated shipping date. The new estimated shipping date is now October 2026.

We can only apologise. Thank you for your patience.

Using this extra time, we've been busy adding new designs, commissioning artists for spreads, and putting extra surprises in the box.

If the new estimated shipping date means you're no longer interested in receiving your book for any reason, you can cancel your order by emailing orders@crazyopticalillusions.net. We'll be happy to refund you in full.

Thank you again, so much, for your patience. We really hope you enjoy the book when it arrives.

A render of a book page, featuring replies from confused or mischievous social media users.

From top to bottom: a user replies 'iont get it', with a screenshot of the quoted 'Endless Staircase' illusion. Another user replies with 'what are you talking about about its an endless staircase'. The original replier says '?'. Another user replies 'why cant i remember my childrens names'.

A separate reply says, 'This isnt the endless staircase. None of your tweets are actual optical illusions, are you taking the piss?'.

Another reply says, 'Who cares its a drawing'.

Which way does the staircase go? In this famous 'Endless Staircase' optical illusion, it's impossible to tell if the stairs are ascending or descending, leaving the observer thoroughly perplexed.

An illustration of a strange-looking staircase. The steps of the staircase appear to lead both up and down at the same time. Text near the bottom left says 'FIG. 14-2'.

A diagram on a piece of paper. 21 grey boxes are placed inside a larger box's outline. They are all rotated at different angles. Text above reads: 'This is the mathematically optimal way to package 21 equally sized boxes inside of a larger box - minimising the space taken up as much as possible.'

A picture of a book, featuring a set of 12 yellow cubes on a page, framed inside a blue border. The cubes are arranged in a square pattern that may or may not be possible in the real world.

Can you work out how many blocks there are?

An illustration of two characters, stood either side of an indeterminable number of blocks on the floor. Text below asks: 'Can you work out how many blocks there are?'. The left character claims '4' in a speech bubble, while the right character claims '3'.

English is a strange language.

Facts about English as a tricky language. Each box has it's own short fact. From top left to bottom right:

'English is the only language where you can drive on driveways. It’s also the only language where you can walk on walkways.'

'Your fingers have fingertips and your toes have toetips. You can ‘tiptoe’ and reach high up objects with your ‘fingertips’.'

'The word Queue is Q followed by four letters.'

'You can be a jailer in prison, but you can’t be a prisoner in jail.'

'When you transport something by car, the ‘car’ ‘go’. but when you transport something by ship, it’s called a shipment.'

To break character - in 2022, Roger Shepard, pioneering cognitive scientist and creator of many famous illusions, passed away from Parkinson's. We use a version of his Shepard Elephant as a mascot. In honour of Roger, 10% of profits from our artbook will go to USA + UK Parkinson’s charities. ♡ 𓃰

How many legs does the elephant have? At first glance, the answer maybe be obvious - but look a little closer, and this fiendish illusion reveals itself. (HD reupload)

A graphic of an optical illusion. There is a 3D plane textured with a dark grey and light grey chequered pattern, with the letters 'A' and 'B' labelling two side-by-side squares, and a green cylinder on the right side of the plane, casting a shadow. Square B is slightly in the shadow of the green cylinder. A green text box to the right asks: 'Which square is darker? A or B?'

Exactly. Thank you Grok

Screenshot of an X conversation, a user asks Grok "@grok Is this true?". Grok replies, "Yes, it's true. This is the Hering illusions - those vertical lines are perfectly straight, but the radial background makes them appear to bulge. Try covering the background or using a ruler to confirm!"

X screenshot. A user says "@grok remove all lines but vertical lines". Grok replies with an gen-ai edited image of an illusion with everything removed but the very straight lines.
