Look closely at each illustration—what do you see? Are you sure? Don’t trust your eyes too quickly, because every picture here has an optical trick to fool you. Some-times you’ll find “two objects in one”; sometimes you have to rotate drawings to solve the puzzle. Among the forms of visual magic: a bird that “flies” into a cage and a boy who changes into a monkey when the page is turned upside down. More than 300 engrossing optical illusions.

Bats and birds that look like faces. Skulls that pop up on anything white. Three donkeys with three ears be-tween them. And walls that disappear. Relax, they’re only optical illusions. Examine thousand-year-old drawings, find out about closure, perspective, and “the Rubin vase”, and how these tools can untangle the tricks found in this volume.

Puzzles in living color-and with a "trickster" personality out to confound your eyes. A vivid array of optical illusions will have you doing double-takes as they seem to deceive perspective, shift shade, change pattern, and make visual magic. Think you know what's in a picture? Blink and check closely once again, and it's become something else!· See that portrait of a young girl? Take another look-it shows her grandmother, too! Can you find both of them?· Carefully examine a real postage stamp of Daniel Webster: when you turn it upside down, you'll notice something unexpected...Plus: figure out the secret in the landscape, step into a third dimension through color's fantastic effects, and more. Even before you reach the very last image you'll know that what you see isn't necessarily what you get!

They're challenging, baffling, and wildly entertaining: here are 240 colorful, mind-boggling puzzles of every kind to sharpen anyone's thinking skills! Vivid optical illusions fool and tease the eye: try to find both a young girl and her grandmother in what seems to be a picture of only one woman. Or test those smarts on a different type of visual problem by figuring out which of six pieces isn't needed to make a cube. Sneaky lateral thinking puzzles are so tricky that there are extra clues to help: look at them first and then solve the riddle of why a tourist in London wouldn't ride the escalator in the subway station--even though he wanted to. It takes really creative reasoning to solve clever logic conundrums, including mathematical enigmas from the "addled arithmetician" and mini-mysteries to delight the armchair detective. And lots more stimulating fun!

Amazing mazes, crafty whodunits, marvelous visual tricks, sly lateral thinking puzzles, and stupefying optical illusions: all these fun challenges--packaged in a cool book that's shaped like a magnifying glass--will give kids a brain workout they'll really enjoy. Every page has a picture of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 magnifying glasses; that symbol indicates how easy or treacherously difficult the puzzle will be. For example, finding the guilty party in "Foul Play," a one-glass Dr. Quicksolve mystery, should be relatively simple for budding sleuths. The "Mystery Ruins" maze (3), where you must get from point A to point B through a series of small and winding paths, is harder. And you'll need very sharp eyes and a sharp mind to solve "Circle Quest," a 5 magnifying glass optical illusion. One thing's for sure: by the time kids are done with every one of these, they'll feel super-smart.
