The Ames room is one of the most iconic real-world optical illusions, bamboozling audiences since the early 20th century. Since its creation in 1935, there have been countless iterations but this is the first time I've seen a mini diorama version (bonus points for the added spooky touches).
As one of the best optical illusions, the Ames room is a prime example of how forced perspective can instantly trick the eye. This version may not be as grand as the original but it's a fascinating look at how the illusion works even on a small scale. Despite seeing this illusion countless times, my brain isn't any less boggled.
