Who knew about this visual illusion, the Shepard's Tables?

I recently came across the Shepard's Tables illusion and was completely flummoxed.  Those tables just "cannot" be the same size.  But they are :)

Shepard's Parallelogram illusion




not my art..... it was borrowed from:

Or how about The Dress?  This optical illusion is even more stunning because it is about Color!

It is still quite surprising that our perceptions can be “tricked” by reality!
