Optical illusions challenge our perceptions, revealing that we see the world through subjective filters. This collection showcases a variety of illusions, including trompe l'oeil and perspective tricks, that captivate and intrigue. Readers will encounter images with dual meanings, like a seemingly joyful dance hiding an ominous face, and artworks that transform when flipped, such as István Orosz's piece that reveals a portrait of Jules Verne when turned upside down. The book explores illusions that play with size and motion, enhancing the wonder of visual perception.

From the world’s greatest master illusion artists, including Guido Moretti, Tracy Lee Stum, Vladimir Kush, Rob Gonsalves and Bev Doolittle, to Istvan Orosz, John Langdon, Scott Kim, Oscar Reutersvard, and Donald "Rusty" Rust, THE ART OF DECEPTION is not just an ordinary collection of optical illusions. Author Brad Honeycutt has collected 200 of the finest deceptive images ever assembled that will excite both novices and long-time fans of illusion art. The spectrum spans from classic optical illusions to art that is "made real from the impossible." This collection includes famous paintings, stunning photographs, and computer enhanced visual eye treats that will make your mind's eye blink twice . . . and then smile. Every image was handpicked to feature a specific segment of the illusory spectrum that has one sole purpose--to illustrate the best artistic presentation possible. With commentary by the artists about their vision and techniques, this is an extraordinary book on the art and science of the illusion.
