An optical illusion is when your mind perceives and interprets visuals differently. Basically, people call it a flaw of the visual system but basically it means that you are just experiencing and sensing things that are clear to you in a different way. It happens to everyone, and usually happens when you are not looking closely... \n\nWanna try a really cool optical illusion?

I think it's hard to say because it's hard to define what "sense" means. The url below from wikipedia has a good, thorough explanation of the human senses. Hope this helps!

The true magic is his ability to make illusion seem real. It is all a trick, but boy what a trick.

Get really good at something you really enjoy, find new people who are really good at the same things and involve yourself. This will define "who" you are and give you confidence in being you.\n\nHonesty- Deception is a complex concept which the human mind is unable to resolve.\n\nHumility- One without humility is one without knowledge.\n\nSelflessness- The view from the center of your universe is the most extreme form of tunnel vision.\n\nGratitude- The secret to happiness.

Here....I found this.\n\nMaya, in Hinduism, a term used in the Veda to mean magic or supernatural power. In Mahayana Buddhism it acquires the meaning of illusion or unreality. The term is pivotal in the Vedanta system of Shankara, where it signifies the world as a cosmic illusion and also the power that creates the world.

Adaptations are hard-wired into our brains, and thus under some artificial manipulations can cause inappropriate interpretations of the visual scene. Or, as Purkinje put it: "Illusions of the senses tell us the truth about perception" (cited by Teuber, 1960).

To me it means that what you think you see isn't necessarily what you want and that it may be something that will cause detriment to your life and not having it will in essence make room for better possibilities in your life.

Nothing magically appeared. God created it. Magic is using illusion to mimic powers such as those that only God has....

For me it was David Copperfield's illusion that made the Statue of Liberty disappear. I had the pleasure of meeting a magician that assisted with that one. I didn't ask him how it was done because I knew he wouldn't tell me anyway..lol. I think I know how it was done but none the less it was dynamic and wonderful to see.\n\nIf you are not familiar with this one, It's been a long time since I've seen it but I think it went like this...\n\nThe illusion was done at night. A stage was created for people to witness the illusion. They were seated on bleachers similar to ones you see in schools. Cameras were stationed around the statue. Helicopters flew around with cameras on board. David introduced the illusion. The lights went out and fireworks were in the air. The lights came back on and there was no statue! I believe the base was still visible but the statue was gone. Coooool...\n\nCan you guess how it was done?

It means that your unconcious is trying to make sense of random facts or things you absorbed those days. But, in mythology, I guess it would mean that you will find your true love and she will leave you forever.

There're two kinds of activities people refer to as magic.\n\nOne is the kind put on by those who now prefer to be called illusionists, rather than magicians, like Houdini to David Copperfield, and who put on shows for public entertainment.\n\nThe other kind, are those performed by highly evolved individuals, who, because of their knowledge of, and mastery over nartural laws, can use these laws to perform what's popualrly called 'miracles'.\n\nThe former, as the preferred name implies (illusion) smacks of deceit; whereas the latter has nothing to do with deceit, but on the contrary, it's pure science.
