  • In the eighties there was a pop video featuring this effect. The song was about 100/115 bpm and in the video a white spinning mask was to be seen, which sang repeatedly "Make it happen, make it happen, ..." does anyone know which song this is? Thanks in advance!

  • Mindfuck. Aww I'm not schizofrenic :C lol

  • If you cover the eyes with paper you see the trick much clearer,because no one saw eyes from behind .thats the most irritating factor here.

  • all the faces are looking at me. am i ill? i'm afraid ..

  • I thought it was the front at first, I guess I'm not a schiz then. :)

  • MINDFUCKED SO HARD

  • Straight away thought "that's the inside." before it even moved. I guess I'm a schiz then :P

  • Some parts it is hollow and sometimes it isn't so I'm only 50% sick haha

  • @youthinkitsfunny126 where is f6 on my phone...

  • this face will give me nightmers for the next 6 years!

  • @ummokayyeah

    Egomaniacal

  • I've stared at this so many times now that I can easily see the mask as hollow. Not at first, but once it turns once, I can make myself see it as hollow for the rest of the video. What does that make me?

  • Yup, I saw the hollow side alright...

    I seem didn't like it much...

    I can see the hollow side....

    But if I adjust my eyes I can't

    But I can unsee it...

  • Yup, I saw the hollow side alright...

  • Very detailed response. This agrees with what we have observed in formal experiments.

    THANK YOU!

  • When the face was lying sideways i could see the hollow part of the mask , so i replayed it and when the mask was rotating vertically i tilted my head so i would look at it perpendicularly (i guess that's how you say it) and then i could see the hollow face. But straight on i could never see the hollow face no matter how much i try -__-

  • lier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • okay second time around worked on me when it was on it's side now I can see the "moving" nose ring

  • Really fucking irritated that this only worked on me for half a second at like 1:23

  • DONT READ THIS CAUSE IT ACTULLY WORKS. YOU WILL BE KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMARROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DO NOT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN THE NEXT 2 DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READING THIS SO DUNT STOP. THIS IS SO SCARY PUT THIS ON AT LEAST 5 VIDEOS IN THE NEXT 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR LOVERS NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT WORKS

  • Thank you for fucking my brain up.

  • this is computer fucking animated if u pause it it fucking plays so its a FAKE AN FAIL

  • @joeboej Actually, this IS real. You can do it without a computer and the illusion fools guests daily on the Haunted Mansion at Disney parks. Comment "FAKE AN FAIL".

  • wow! That is bloody amazing!  I had to look at this long and hard before I saw it was/seemed to be the colouring 'above' the eyes and 'under' the eyebrows that flipped the illusion on for me. And I couldn't stop it, even when thinking that the eyes on the concave side looked like lobster eyes. They did so until the 'eyebrows' came into view.

  • omg this video just freaked me out that's creepy I mean I only watched 33 seconds of it or LESSSSSSSSS I'm scared now!!!!

  • Great Video :)

  • haha I didn't fall for it the second time. (: But the first time, I went nuts! Good video!

  • if you focus on the nose of the hollow side you can start to easily see that its hollow

  • They also use this for testing schizophrenics, a healthy brain will see both sides as if they were normal. A sick or schizophrenic brain will not see the illusion at all and will see a pushed out face and a hollow pushed in face....so be glad if you cant tell the difference.

  • ohhhhhhhhh i get it. man the people who made that mask are really good drawers

  • im confused... which side is which??

  • this is satanic xD

  • OMFG ITS SATAN!!!!!

  • why does this make me feel the same way after looking at it as when I get carsick?

  • WwwWWwW THE ANGEL DEMON ILLUSION WwwWWwW

    Nominated for Best Illusion 2011 - CHECK IT OUT !!"

  • Whaaa thats scary ....

  • WTH what hapened./? / ? ?

  • yu6

  • what did i just witness?

  • WHAT THE FUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKK?!!? I now know what it feels like to be mind fucked.

  • Great and a bit creepy too.

  • ow my brain :/

  • you can beat it by focusing on a hollow characteristic of the mask, by not looking at the product of the whole or individual characteristics of the hollow mask that become the illusion. In this way the periphery characteristics will adhere to your focal point and the mask will stay inverted.

  • Oh, then I squizophrenic

  • 0:24 0:16

  • cool stuff

    

  • cool

  • Our eyes lie to us, great video =)

  • TOTALLY reminds me of Haunted Mansion DISNEYLAND!!!

  • woa

  • coooooooooooooooool

    

  • holly fuk!!!

  • Now I can't sleep... But nice illusion anyway!

  • don't know 

  • that creeps me OUT MAN!!!

  • VERY ORIGINAL! Thank you for sharing! I can't wait until the next snow...

    Please see the other video in my site.

  • @TVPapathomas It's not really a hollow mask though, The eyes are still popping out on the hollow part, just as the other side. Probably if the eyes were not popping out you would see it as hollow. So this is definitely NOT a normal mask. It is made for illusions.

  • @Rodoriginal101 You are absolutely right!

  • I've got a vid search 3D faces in snow. You can see the effect better. Also you can do it yourself.

  • you are awesome dude.....

  • @lossuperagentes101 you can also use any mask

  • he looks like a freaking punk! wtf is that nose ring for lol...

  • awesome!

  • is interesting

  • I feel the need to blink once. A sorta mental refresh. When the sides flip to get the illusion.

  • that looks fuckin scary!

  • lol to who say fake. trollin ?

  • Fake and gay, camera skips.

    HERP DERP, NO SERIOUSLY GUYS, WE REALLY PROMISE THERE ARENT ANY CAMERA TRICKS, HONEST!

  • @O4archer this is actually a test, the idea of the mask is not the illusion, but is how you see it. if the face is looking at you, your brain is healthy, if you can see the face from behind, like a mask, you have a "sick" brain. it was also used for LSD testing, "mind expansion". our minds, actual "healthy" minds are limited in seeing more.

  • @thre4t perhaps that's one part of it, but the mask also tests your ability to inhibit the illusions your brain casts, which is something I can do but only if I engage my full attention.

  • @thre4t What if, in the beggining i can see the hollow side looking like a mask. Then after a few minutes i can see it regularly.

  • @thre4t It is funny how you say this. Because you would think that someone who could actually see more than the majority of people would be the smarter ones. They understand the world better. It is no wonder why they go crazy. No one will listen to them. How would they be able to explain to a 'normal' person what they see, if 99% of the population, including me, don't see how they see. I atleast understand them in a way.

  • Great job! I've seen a similar illusion at the Heureka Science Park in Vantaa, Finland, where encarved faces put in a wall and representing the Finnish presidents were staring at you passing over!

  • Imo, If you fixate your eyes on the black platform that the mask is attached to as it rotates, you can distinguish the 'hollow' side with your peripheral vision until you look up and your mind reverts to accepting the illusion as real again. Apparently, people on LSD can tell the difference with no help.

  • FAKE!!!!!!!!!

  • you would not say its the hollow or convex side of the mask, this illusion is awesome!

  • wow. pretty impressive. nice shadow work

  • i allways loved this ilusion ^.^

  • @lossuperagentes101

    I bought a regular plastic mask and had it painted. I added the nose-ring and eyeballs.

  • It's not like with Chaplin's mask, this one is really easy to see~ and the added features, nose ring and eye balls, are a plus~

  • That fucked with my head

  • what majors usually take this class?

  • old school

    

  • AGHH! It gets me EVERY TIME! D:

  • I hate it when i got fooled!.. and this fcking mask fool me over and over..! fck u stupid mask!!! btw.. was g8 cxreation tho ^^

  • MY EYES!!!!!!

  • AGH

  • No special effect my ass.

  • scaary

  • full = on the inside i can see it inside, but i know what is requested. there have been other times that i see it like its supposed to be. any other schizo like people like this? that's why i'm curious with the ohers on here.

  • i can usually see it full but i know it's wrong. some of them are easier than others--this one is harder on the second go around. you did something to the nose. your eyes focus on a point and they generate an image back. my eyes are sometimes untuned, so they get various parts but not whole.

  • today i cannot see it, the illusion. i don't have emotions today.

  • after watching this when i read teh text for a while my eyes are seeing it in a weird way as if it is in block mode, thats the only way i can describe it, did anyone else experience the weird after effect

  • "HEY MOM! what are you doin on Youtube!?"

  • It barely works. The nose ring is perfect though

  • trippyD:

  • This works for me only about 70-90 degrees of 360 on backside, it is disturbing, that when the mask is near sideways, it starts to look like it was plexiglass and I can see both sides at the same time, although it should not be possible. I see 2 noserings too at the same time.

    Am I scitsofrenic now, or can alcohol do the same trick?

  • It's like, we value life, but we don't like you do, but we value life, so we value you. We're just going to put you over here. Except, you don't really know where anything is. Of course, we sometimes touch due to reactions. I'm sure shades of pink in our meaning are equally disturbing. They really value mountains.

  • It depends. If you can't process the image, then it won't make sense in its whole, but you saw it. I've learned this from seeing it then not seeing it. And by the way, all that's there are shades. We live in an optical illusion, just an FYI. Intelligent beings are moral, even if they're scary. It's what you wanted.

  • That is so weird, because when the face was turning in one direction all the way around, it looks like it is turning the opposite way!

  • Oh shit this is so weird. Interesting optical illusion...

  • oh ya!Very creative!!

  • i think im drink o.O cuz i dont see any diff XDD

  • nai nai sigoura otan to girizi meta apo ena simio to stamataei kai to janarxizi pali apo tin ali meria kai to girizi sinexos gia na mas mperdepsi einai pseutiko

  • give me that mask lol

  • Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat !?

  • That's crazy!

  • That's crazy!

  • GRAND optical ilusion!!!!!!

  • it appears to be spinning the opposite way when on the concave side if you imagine it as the convex side.

  • whoa i thought it was just 1 face O3o

  • I just read an article about this, its because the brain perceives all faces to be convex, regardless of what they really are.

  • nuts

  • thats awesome and scary lmao!!!

  • really cool video liked it.:)

  • No comments except for CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

  • scary lol

  • my posters stare at me like that their eyes follow me. robert pattinson stares at me

  • This is also how the busts on inside The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland work too.

  • Oh gosh! I got vertigo

  • this is like mobeus strip cool!!

  • That was so freakin kewl...I'm glad u didnt put up a pop up picture 0.o

  • COOL

  • it is VERY CREEPY!!!

  • even if you can understand that its reverted you lose it

  • WTF !

    Weird & Scary !

  • i saw something like this in psychology... it was awesome. it all has to do with perception.

  • this is just really weird... he looks rlllly rllly weird im serius oh gosh. oh and byt the way oh never mind these pppl need to get a life i mea n seriusly gosh, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(sorry just trying to get ot my 500 letter limit) !!!!!!

  • awesome!!!

  • deff CGI, hence the PROGRAMMING guy on the credits.

  • No this is not CGI. The Programming credit can have many different meanings according to the context. Not so for the Painting or Sculpture credit!!! This was an actual art piece and contest...you can find information about the 2008 Best Illusion of The Year contest on the web, it was held in Naples Fl. I will send you a link if you would like. The Hollow Mask Illusion has been around for Many years. Here are some Ytube examples

  • it is possible to force yourself to see the hollow side of the mask as hollow. i can. it's fun.

  • lsd

  • however i cannot see the optical illusion maybe it's because i know that the back side of the mask goes to the face and it's painted with the same design as the front side

    that explain the illusion...

    it looks like a cgi mask too

  • Check out my illusions I have got on my channel they are amazing.

  • OH MY GOD ILLUSION MUCH!

  • The nose ring and popped out eyes on the hollow side gave it away. I could tell right off the bat by the way those two moved in relation to everything else...

  • that is AMAZING! the first time i saw it i could not tell the difference between the hollow side and the normal side, but then i saw it and was like omfg its no lie! my eyes hurt though

  • where can i buy one of these??

  • This one was done really well. :)

  • Really very nice done tricks those extentions of the hollow mask. I know how difficult it is.

    I send you some video's of my own work.

  • Thank you for your kind words!

    We both now how difficult it is...

    I have been working with hands, too, and I have an example but it is hard to film. I have a project on torsos but it takes too long with real sculptures. Your videos are astounding!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!

  • Some scientists noticed that non schizophrenic people, when looking at the hollow face, have 2 parts of their brain getting connected: the one that collect visual info and the fronto-parietal one that is charged of its interpretation. This connexion is supposed to allow the brain to use passed experiences: used to seeing human faces, the subjects tend to understand the hollow face as a normal one. They made out that this process has a defect in schizophrenic people who're not duped by the image.

  • Both schizophrenics and trippers see it the way it really is. For all that LSD is called a hallucinogen, in this case people using it see reality more clearly.

  • nice quad post

  • I did make four or five posts about it, but they were in reply to people talking about it. This whole schizophrenia/LSD thing is why I started looking up this illusion in the first place.

  • because everything (including the eyes) in the side where they rotate, any one who watched the dog illusion knows that everything is facing opposite way it appears, because its faceing in, you see it almost the same from any angle, so it appears the eyes are following you (you see eyes move more tan face cause eyes go in deeper than the face

  • Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • LMAO that was freakin awsome!! lol

  • taht is freaky!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Schizophrenics apparently can tell straight away that it is the back of the mask at the beginning.

    Something to do with the way their brain processes images.

  • Also, people on LSD.

  • No, you will realize how foolishly you attack a video without further realising what it is about.

    So for your small mind I will help you. Type hollow face illusion and then you will see.

    This is a very good animation (computer model, whatever) but it performs exactly as it would if it were real, FOOL.

  • its not a computor model you moron, its real. it was MISTAKENLY found out when someone saw a mask from the wrong side

  • (continued) they then said that the mask was looking at them them.

  • Thats awesome! And it is real cos i've seen one at a science mueseum!

  • It is NOT a digital 3D sculpture. It is a physical plastic mask rotating on a turntable and passively videotaped by a stationary camcorder. The ONLY thing that's computer controlled is the rotation pattern of the turntable; it was choreographed to give a good impression of the illusion. In retrospect, I should have rotated it always in the same direction... It would have been a lot simpler and clearer.

  • alright. i agree that its a real mask and a real illusion but it is a digital 3d sculpture. no physical representation of this mask. just digital modeling. obviously. pfft.

  • thats soooooooooooooo creepy i love it!

  • no that is a real mask ive seen this type of illusion before they have some at disney land in the hunted mansion ride.

  • acupuncture I hear envolves preforming what is called an insult that causes chemical's to rush to the wound and do something. I am not sure that what happen's is with this "insult (hollow space in your body)" you turn to whoever caused it in much the same way as to this hollow mask and it being to much to comprehend you come out saying pretty much what you do with the hollow mask and bang you have it your own quack. So chinese medicine does really look at causes of mentall illnes

  • So it's explained as being hollow but start's as a normal face and that when it turn's will you see it or not. so at this point your like what is that? and then the answer to your question is? and then it being to much to comprehend it comes back as something else because you say something else and somehow later the world rushes in? Atleast, I guess, people aren't swearing at thing's anymore. I am just curious at how things work. Prephaps that's how illusion's work by preforming an insult.

  • wow o.othat was kinda freaky and awsomeXD

  • You are right, up to a certain point. Namely, this illusion does not work in real life if you see it with both eyes FROM A SHORT VIEWING DISTANCE. However, if you see it from a long distance (more than 2-3 meters; this varies from viewer to viewer), then you still get the illusion. When you see it with only one eye, you get the illusion even at shorter distances.

  • Thanks.

  • BTW this doesn't actually work in real life. The reason in because humans have built in depth perception, so each eye works with the other to figure out how far away something is. On a screen, this is obviously impossible- we are showing something 3d on a 2d screen.

    When you view this in real life you see very quickly it is a hollow mask, due the fact we can see where things are in space.

  • It works, but not as well. It will work in real life if you use only one eye, OR step far enough to not see all the fine details accurately.

  • The eyes work awesomely, but the nose ring just doesn't seem to work for me. It seems to be going the wrong way on the convex side. Neat video, though.

  • Apparently, schizofrenics and stoners see right through the illusion. I shall have to try this whilst high.

  • @TheStickyNoteKing it will be while you're low that you don't see it after your experience.

  • Thanks this was great.

  • I watch this video every time I feel like I'm going insane and it calms me down a bit. :)

  • That's cool! :)

  • OMG... :D Originally heard of this from the book The God Delusion and I thought, "Wtf, I need to check this out." and I saw this and well, this is pretty cool.

  • omg lol that was so cool the mask like really confused me and my friend!!

  • there should be moer videos like this, most of them are pop ups

  • hahhahha bravo!!!

    this is the optical illusion
