I recently received a copy of a new optical illusion book by Philippe SOCRATE titled Tous les secrets des illusions d’optique (which translates from French to “All the secrets of optical illusions”).  The book was published this month by Eyrolles in France.   Unfortunately, I do not speak French, so I was unable to read the text included in the book.  That did not stop me from enjoying the terrific visuals that Philippe created for this volume of optical illusions.

Presented below is one of the images that I particularly enjoyed from the book.  It is called Shared Flame and is a take on the old face/vase optical illusion concept.  Do you see a candle and flame or two faces looking at each other?
