【明報專訊】The Smarties are decorating their room with beautiful paintings. But that isn't easy because Eason is doodling on the floor of the room with his pencils, creating an illusion of a big hole on it!

These realistic scenes may surprise you, but you will get excited and become part of them if you discover they are 2D paintings with optical illusions that trick your eyes.

3D painting has become a phenomenon since the Trick Eye Museum (特麗愛3D美術館) opened in South Korea. The trend has spread, and some have even brought such paintings to streets and shopping malls! Visitors pose as if they were in a river or on a tightrope. People enjoying taking funny pictures very much.
