Painted Einstein Hollow Face Illusion

- This our Einstein Hollow Face Mask, but it has been hand painted so as to give an amazing life-like impression of Albert Einstein. A true work of art. Also, the optical illusion works incredibly well.
When you view the mask from the 'hollow' side, the face still seems to be sticking out towards you - the human brain just cannot compute a hollow face! As the camera moves left or right, the face seems to swivel, and follow you. And if the camera moves up and down, again, the face tilts, to follow you. Amazing. And even more realistic in real life!
This would grace the wall of any museum wanting to show amazing optical illusions!
Multiple layers of paint are needed in order to get the final effect, and it takes the painter a week's work to create one of these.
Made in the UK
Thanks to David Chaudoir at www.freelancemotiongraphics.co.uk for creating the new end title sequence for us. Thanks David! - Věda a technologie
This was the first ever grand illusions vid I ever saw and that’s when I entered a world of wonder
stg
@Decker Abram bro I saw you on another video please stop
@Isaiah Atlas You too butch
@@al09dln What's wrong? Can't she comment whatever she wants?
His eyes have small happy faces in them
came here for this
Imagine putting just one of these in a normal gallery of portraits. Would be epic for a haunted house!
Boy do I have news for you
Thanks Richard Dawkins - a whole new set of nightmares to follow.
Amazing, this is one of the coolest illusions I've ever seen.
STOP LOOKING AT ME!
the video production quality has gone through the roof. Love your work
Truly magnificent! One of my favourite illusions!
Nice new outro!
The first time through I had to keep shifting my focus to get the effect. The second time through I couldn't see that it was concave at all. I think that's particularly interesting because I had already watched another hollow mask illusion. I have to "reset" each time.
People with some psychedelics and schizophrenic people actually don´t see this, they see it as it really is
Cooool. Also, I need an hour long loop of that whirr-y sound effect for ASMR lol
I like the new ident at the end!
someone got a new tripod, love it its grate, nice to see the channel evolving like this
SMILEYS IN HES EYES!
The hollowness of the painted side is easier to spot when they're tilting the mask than when they're rotating it.
I bought one of these from Grand Illusions about 6 years ago. I paid £1,100 for the mask and it's recently been valued at just over £6,000! I think I'll keep mine for a few more years...
Excellent idea...!!! 👌
That is really awesome!!
Yeah, I had the genius idea to watch this at night
XD I feel bad for yuo
Mona Lisa hollow face illusion is what I really want to see.
thats incredible
Einstein stahp! Stahp!
this video was a lot more interesting then i thought it would be
Spectacular
The hard thing is that I keep on thinking it's concave and is not giving the effect of convex
I had to focus on the nose and eyes so as not to see the shadows on the edges of the face for the illusion to work. Also rotating the mask caused a clearly concave shadow to appear on it at some point. When they started rotating the camera around the mask the illusion worked slightly better for me.
So sad.. it's amazing looking...
Same thing happened to me, if I concentrate hard enough I manage to see as if it had volume.
wasn't able to see it pop out for a while after figuring out how it works but now i can control it.
Can't be unseen!
My eyes caught the illusion once you turned it around and now i can see it as going in instead of what the illusion wants. First time that has happened with one of these, probably because its coloured
Truly amazing (:
Love this channel
You can do a slightly similar effect with a pound note and the queens head. A £20 note is preferable. Make three folds down through the queens face, one on either sides of here mouth and one between those two folds. Then if you lean the note forward and backwards and she changes her expression from happy to sad and vice versa. "A lovely little trick, quite fascinating" is what Tim might say.
our brain keeps sticking to positive angle... it's a nice evidence to check how our mind works.
What sorcery is this!
Can't unsee.
this would make a wild halloween costume, where your head is in a box with that on the front, maybe the back and sides aswell
I can't see it pop out anymore :/
nesfan8 naw you can force it to appear however you like with proper mental control
@Rich 91 How?
This is very nice
오! 대박!!! 대단하네요..우리가 정말 바로 보고 있는가에 대해서 점검하게 해주는 영상이네요... 감사합니다..._()_
Once I've been in a motel and I've seen one of those on the wall.
Then the other day I realised that was just a window.
Why, once I've seen the other side, can I not see the illusion?
Like stop seeing the face as if it's sticking out at you? I've found with myself that when they face is tilted up or down, if watching say between the eyebrows and eyes, the face will look inverted for a moment, then you've just got to keep watching that cue afterward and it usually breaks it. Pretty fun challenge to do haha
When you realize that this is one of the only few Illusion Videos he made on this channel called Grand Illusions
I don’t understand, when he turned the picture around to the coloured version. I sometimes see it as hallow and switched to seeing the nose sticking out. I can switch back and forth. What does this mean?
If it wasn't so incredibly expensive I'd buy one myself.
It is really good
The eyes have smiley faces
He's looking in to my soul
Ohhhhhhhh man what the illusions
Is there a way to break the illusion?
At first I could see it but then I saw the 3D side and couldn’t see it anymore- oh now I see it again
I've seen this ilussion mulitble times. But on this video, well, its just the best one.
Can add more, what I wanna text in my lack of English, but I won't. Its just way beter then the other videos
good thing he reminded me it was just a hollow face, I thought it was actually einsteins head on the table
As soon as you think about the depth the illusion goes away. Very cool though.
Is it as convincing in person when you actually have the benefit of binocular vision to evaluate what you are seeing? I would definitely order this if I could get the word of someone from Grand Illusions.
awesome
wtf my brain hurts now
i could see it hollow only temporarily and then when i watched again i couldn't see it hollow anymore
I can switch between convex and concave by thinking about it.
me too
Sounds like Richard Dawkins
The video description it says "Multiple layers of paint are needed in order to get the final effect,"
I've seen several examples of this illusion and they were not painted, colored, or shaded
If I concentrate I can see the sunken image as opposed to the 3d image for as long as I want, but if I blink or loose concentration my brain flips it.
coooooooool!
When you stare into the Einstein, the Einstein stares back.
How does the effects of this compare in person versus on a screen?
The effect is stronger in person.
Wow
this is a life lesson
when camera goes up and down I can see it is hollow but when it goes side to side it pops out !
The dragon masks in Skyrim have this same effect, It's a bit disorienting too when you try to flip it to the "back" and the front comes into view.
I can switch fairly easily depending on what I want to see. You can train your brain to do it.
What is this kind of art called
Wow.
Ah yes, planting the seed for many nightmares to come.
Have you tried viewing it through a pseudoscope? I guess it would slightly add to the illusion.
where can i get one of those?
you sir are a comedy genius
Amazing one of the best ilosions that i have ever seen wooow
oh wow i focused really hard and could break the illusion but when i did it looked like the face had those stalk eyes on crabs lol.
What was the song used in the video?
Ahhh looks like a demon when your brain auto-corrects the face from popping out to imploding inwards lol.
Oh, you know, this is just like playing with normal axis controls all your life and then trying to switch to inverted axis controls XD
How long until the Tim Hollow Face? Will science realize what it's doing before it's too late??
can I buy that thing :0?
The eyes are smiley faces lol
Is it just me, but it looks hollow the whole time (except for the back) like, it generally looks hollow, not popping out.I don't know why XD
I can't see the illusion. I can only see it in a still picture...
kinda like a trippy hologram
How is that?
saw these as a kid at Disneyland in Mickey's Haunted Mansion!
You can tell its backwards and it hurts my eyes to look at after a while
dat outro!
wow... my head is all swimmy now xD
They had one ten times better at frontier village in san ca when I was a kid.El Sito Mysterio
oh no i've gone crosseyed
Loooks like a deep bowl to me, I only see hollow
Scary af omg
Haunted Mansion
It worked first time but when i saw it again it didnt work Why???
Isn't Einstein's image licensed?
Ahh.... it stopped working on me after I saw the grey side. All the time my eyes were not thinking it was a popping out image and merely the opposite.
