The Moebius Strip is NOT an impossible shape. Take a long strip of paper, twist one end 180 degrees, then bend the two ends together and tape it. Now you can take a pencil, and starting from any point on the strip, draw one contiguous line on both sides of the paper, ending at the starting point, without lifting your pencil.

Stretch you beat me to it. But you missed the Union Flag is not he Union Jack.

"The term Union Flag refers to the de facto national flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland"

"Union Jack" should only be used for the flag when it is flown as a jack (a small flag flown at the bow of a ship)

I thought these were good except that the mobius strip can actually be made and that some of the illusions went by very quickly.

msot of the insiluols wree cool - but... it mybae jsut me but I c`ludont raed msot of the wrods wehn the leertts wree jmbueld up:

most of the illusions were cool - but...it maybe just me but I couldn`t read most of the words when the letters were jumbled up. I read WROD as ROD, had to read LSAT again and PCLAE as... I had to pause for a while. MSES is what?
And the color and word thing - I did it fine. my roomate did it fine.
sorry. but 2.5/5

Very impressive illusions. It makes you feel kind of vulnerable when you see how easily can our sight be manipulated.

^^ oriqin, its not that the colors (yes i`m an american, sue me) and words are hard, it takes you longer to do it than saying the word it has written.

Mixing up letters in a word isn`t that difficult, the fact you could still read most of it says something. MSES is mess, if you`re wondering... i didn`t think that was all that difficult, they moved 2 letters...

I think the best feature of the video is its presentation and how its synchronized with the music. Aside from the moebius mistake, it looks and sounds good!

Meh, half the illusions there didn`t work for me. Maybie they`re just too common. Or maybie I`m mentally ill. Yeah, I`ll go for the second one.
