«Visual Illusions» is a book of optical illusions by Al Seckel, published by Arcturus Publishing in hardback (77 pages, in English).
A collection of classic optical illusions and vibrant graphic patterns that challenge perception: images that seem to move, change size, or disappear before the eyes. Includes commented examples that explain how the brain interprets what it sees and why the eye is fooled.
The work was originally published as Incredible Visual Illusions in 2003.
Aimed at young and curious readers, it combines entertainment and popular science on the vision and the art of visual deception.
Alfred Paul Seckel was an American collector and popularizer of visual and other types of sensory illusions, who wrote books about them. Active in the Freethought movement as a skeptic in the 1980s, he was the co-founder and executive director of the Southern California Skeptics. News coverage arising from his connection to Jeffrey Epstein has stressed Seckel's misrepresentation of his education and credentials. In 2010, Seckel provided reputation management services for Epstein. He died in France in 2015.
