The trick is a variation of the hollow-face illusion.
To achieve it, a concave mask and convex torso are fused together, and vice versa.
Then, the rigid statues are painted “realistically” and rotated, according to the Illusion of the Year website.
While there are no moving parts in this trick, the illusion makes it appear as if the necks are rotating unnaturally.
This is because the face rotates in one direction while the torso moves in the opposite direction.
If the viewer places themselves in front of the statue, the neck will appear to twist dangerously.
One of The Exorcist’s most famous scenes sees Blair’s demon-processed character’s head seemingly spinning all around.
This illusion reveals some of the biases the human brain uses to interpret the orientation of faces and bodies.
Optical illusions show how deceptive our own eyes can be.

While another confusing picture looks like a massive crowd at a concert at first glance but, can you tell what’s really going on?
