Russian Cyrillic Optical Illusion

Hey people! We had some issues with our RSS feed last few days, that prevented the feed from updating with newest articles, thus resulting in your widgets not showing the latest illusion. Hopefully Feedburner fixed it, and we should be operating in full capacity again. If you encounter something fishy, be sure to drop us a line. In the mean time check this ad for a Russian Vodka. Can you read what is says? Is it Cyrillic? Explanation after the jump…



Advertising company that goes under the name of “Lowe Bull” (South Africa), produced an interesting advertisement for this Russian Vodka, and placed it on the walls facing bathroom mirrors in pubs and clubs. If you look directly to the poster, you’ll probably only see some mumbo-jumbo in Cyrillic Alphabet. Right after you give up, use the toilet, and are just about to wash your hands or face, you look at the mirror in front you.
Everything is clear now, and you haven’t got a slightest problem reading the poster. It says: “Men Don’t Drink and Drive“. How could you missed it the first time, you ask yourself? Was it because you were so drunk, and only after washing your face it got you sober enough to read it? Probably it hits you then. You finally understand how they fooled you, and that everything was just a mind trick and an illusion. Never the less, the message got through to you, and you’ll surely remember this ad.
I have to give props to the person responsible for this creative advertising idea. Like I always repeat myself, optical illusions in adverting are guaranteed way to get some exposure for your message. Be sure to remember this if you work for a media company.
Boy, this was probably the longest post I wrote this years. Feels good to see so much of the new content, doesn’t it? You can see a zoomed mirror photo of previous Russian ad, below.

Lionmouse Optical Illusion

Chances are slim that you could spot another animal’s face in this picture on your left. Yet, apart the animal king there is another, more insignificant animal hiding there. Before you check the solution below, I can give you a little hint: the illusion works in a quite similar way the Hidden Owl Illusion did. This should be more than enough for you.

As there is not much more to say about this funny flick, I’ll update you with some site concerning news. If you noticed, apart from translating the iGoogle gadget, we updated both Yahoo and Windows widgets as well. You can get the from here if you’re interested in recent changes. Even though there weren’t any major tweaks, it’s just they should be more stable now, plus I’ve added some design changes. Go ahead, try them and report what you think.
On the personal level, I’m constantly getting hit by additional offline and online tasks. To keep with this pressure, I’m going to invest more energy in hiring additional helpers for Mighty Optical Illusions. Don’t worry, nothing will change from your view, except maybe more illusions and new technical options :) Enjoy today’s illusion, and check the solution part below:

9 Hidden Eagles Optical Illusion

Again, I would like to thank you all for your sincere care for my health. In these times I learned how warm and carry my readers are. Good news is that my head pain dropped slightly, and I hope this is beginning of my full recovery! As a present I bring you this majestic print with 9 hidden eagles in it. The artwork was created by Steven Michael Gardner, and is “ingeniously” titled – “9 Eagles”. You already know what to do! Search and find all the hidden eagles in this picture below, and if you find some extra, drop me a line, so we can sign a petition to Gardner to change the name of his artwork. More similar posters from Gardner can be found inside “Spot The Object” category. Enjoy…

Cosmopolitan Optical Illusion

Can you detect a hidden “illusion“ in these two photographs? It shouldn’t be too hard, and the illusion is quite similar in both images. It took me few seconds before I figured the cow one, so decided to share with you to test your senses. The only problem with these two, is once you figure them out, there’s no going back. Photoshopped? Most definitely!

Horse Head Illusion

There is a cleverly hidden object inside this photo. It is only one, but really hard to spot. Can you see it? Once you notice it, there’s no way you will take your eyes of it. If you find it, please don’t ruin the fun for others so don’t post where it’s located. I had similar post once, called Rose Illusion, somewhere inside Spot The Object Category.
