Are these planks of wood the same size? Stunning optical illusion leaves people scratching their heads

An optical illusion has left people scratching their heads after it was shared on Instagram.

Tiffany Verafrom Ontario, Canada recently shared a clip on her Instagram page during a visit to the Museum of Illusions in Toronto.

In the clamp with the caption 'Glimpse of what you can see, Tifany hHe picks up a piece of curved teal wood and places it on a carving that appears to be exactly the same size and shape.

However, she then moves it to another piece of wood which appears to be a different size, but reveals that both blocks are the same exactly the same size.

bBut not all Instagram users were convinced that the wood was actually the same size, which sparked a debate in her comments section.

One user said: 'Now I'm just more confused,' while another joked: 'My ex claims to be the same person I met 2 years ago…'

She shocked viewers who expected the blocks to be the same size

And one user didn't believe her at all: 'It's clearly longer than the top one, you guys are just gullible'.

Another user accused Tifany of playing with the angle: “Showing it from this angle is the best way to confuse people.”

Another agreed: 'It doesn't fit the top silhouette, you can clearly see the difference before she changes the piece on it.'

The film location decided to intervene to quell the rumors.

They explained: 'The Jastrow Illusion is an optical illusion in which two identical figures are placed next to each other.

'Although they are both exactly the same size, one seems bigger.

“The fact that the shorter arc of one figure is next to the longer arc of another somehow causes the brain to perceive one shape as longer, and the other as shorter.”

This comes after one Optical illusionist left viewers open-mouthed with his expert video editing skills that give the impression he's doing push-ups under zooming cars and stroking his own leg.

Kevin Lustgarten, from Venezuela but living in Boston, has stunned the internet with his viral clips that have astonished viewers thinking, 'how the heck did he do that?'

The illusionist, who has built a massive six-figure following online, regularly posts his videos on social media that appear to be created by an act of sorcery.

A chilling clip shows Kevin blindfolded doing push-ups in the middle of a busy road as traffic races towards him.

With his arms outstretched and fully extended, a black Mercedes is ready to crash into him, but just before he strikes, he pushes up once more and seemingly goes under the vehicle.
