Results: We have heard the phrases "I'll believe it when I see it." and "Seeing is believing." but there is also "If my eyes deceive me." This last one has been used by magicians for centuries. Our eyes do deceive us. Here are some examples.

Smoke and mirrors, sleight of hand , props, the power of suggestion and secret compartments are all used to trick our eyes into seeing something that isn't there, or to overlook something that should be obvious or to see something but be convinced we are seeing something else. Can you trust your eyes? Let's put them to the test.

'How many girls?' In this optical illusion, shared by Tiziana Vergari via social media, we see girls sitting next to what looks like a mirror but struggle to figure out just how many girls are present as opposed to the images we see.

Beach or Car Bumper? When this image was shared on Twitter @nayem, it was suggested it was a beach at night. Then, it was suggested it could in fact be the damaged bumper of a car. This optical illusion perfectly demonstrates the power of suggestion. Your mind will try and see what it is told the image is.

The three-headed deer. A three-headed deer is a thing of nightmares (Image credit: Renatas Jakaitis ) This accidental optical illusion left the internet baffled when a photographer posted a photo of what looked like a three-headed deer. Despite what it looks like, there are three separate deer in the photo. This illusion was a total accident, and it shows that you don't need the newest photo editing software to produce some truly baffling images.
I saw right away what had happened.

I wonder if I can give one of my kids a cat or dog's head. Will they stand still long enough to take the photo?
