An optical illusion is a phenomenon that tricks our brain to believe in something that's either wrong, or not there in the first place. Our eyes and brain work together to help us see the things around us. There are two types of optical illusions. Our eyes cause the first type of illusion, Eyes see something wrong and send false visual signals to the brain. The second type of illusion is caused by the brain, where it automatically makes a false assumption based on the information sent by eyes. Optical illusions are fun! Check these fifteen best optical illusions of all time.

8.Multidirectional Face Illusions
Using his Samsung L100 digital camera and Photoshop, Venezuela-based student Jesus Gonzalez Rodriguez mixed layers to create some of the trippiest face illusions we'd seen in a very long time.
9.IMPOSSIBLE TRIANGLE
The dice appear to form an impossible triangle. Your eyes and brain are fooled because they assume that all the corners of the triangle are touching one another. In reality, the photograph has been taken from a very specific angle. If the position of the camera was to shift slightly, you would see that in reality the 'triangle' is actually created by three lines of dice arranged in the shape of the letter 'Z'. As such, one of the 'corners' in the photograph actually consists of two ends that are very long way apart. This idea is based on a drawing of an impossible triangle originally created by physicist Roger Penrose in 1954.

10.SPINNING SILHOUETTE DANCER
This is a bistable illusion by Nobuyuki Kayahara. Where you can see movement both clockwise and counterclockwise direction. An amazing Illusion!
11.IDENTICAL COLORS
The color of both A and B surface is same. Don't believe us? Just use your finger to cover the place where both parts meet, and you'll see.
12.3D Grass Globe at Paris City Hall
Artist Francois Abelanet has played tricks on our eyes, making us believe there is a three-dimensional grass globe sitting right in the middle of Paris' City Hall. When viewed at different angles, however, the illusion quickly falls apart.
13.Rotating snakes
Fantastic static image by Akiyoshi Kitaoka.Circular snakes appear to rotate spontaneously. It is based on the concept of visual perception and optical illusions of geometrical shape, brightness, color, in motion illusions and other visual phenomena like Gestalt completion and perceptual transparency.
14.Blue Chairs
Peek inside the windows of the Issey Miyake store in Tokyo, and you'll think you're looking at a room full of blue chairs. But that's where you'd be wrong. The white floor only has blue chair backs popping out of the floor, the rest of the chair, the seats, and legs, had been painted on the ground!
15.Albert Einstein or Marilyn Monroe??
This fantastic image looks like physicist Albert Einstein. However, move a few feet away from the screen and suddenly it'll transform into Marilyn Monroe. The work of Aude Oliva and her colleagues at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the illusion was created in three steps. First, the researchers obtained a photograph of Marilyn Monroe and removed the fine-grained facial features, such as any wrinkles or other blemishes. Second, they obtained a photo of Albert Einstein and removed the more coarse features, such as the shape of the mouth or nose. Finally, the two images were superimposed on top of one another. Because the fine-grained features are visible during close-up, the image looks like Albert Einstein when you're just a few inches away from the page. However, move a few feet away and suddenly only the coarse features are visible, magically transforming the image into Marilyn Monroe.
