Optical Illusions

These are some optical illusions that 'caught my eye.'

First picture, [think] - is this possible?
Second - Focus on the dot in the center and move your head backwards and forwards.
Third - Are the purple lines straight or bent?
Fourth - Do you see gray areas between the squares?
Fifth - You should see a man's face and also a word.... (hint: try tilting your head to the right, the word begins with the letter 'L')
Sixth - This is not animated. Your eyes are making the picture move.
Seventh - The instructions are on the picture...

Cool, huh? ;o)

I don't think I've ever gotten a copy of that particular hoax before; most of my 'hoax-like' ones seem to be 419 scammers these days. Got a copy of the email on hand?

I've been a fan of OIs since grade school.

And if you want to be really impressed, check out Julian Beever's work! Look at the Anamorphic Illusions. They are incredible!
