The trick is a variation of the hollow face illusion.
To achieve this, a concave mask and a convex torso are connected, and vice versa.
The rigid statues are then painted “realistically” and rotated, according to the Illusion of the Year website.
Although there are no moving parts in this trick, the illusion makes the necks appear to spin unnaturally.
This is because the face turns in one direction while the torso moves in the opposite direction.
If the viewer stands in front of the statue, the neck will appear to twist dangerously.
One of the most famous scenes from The Exorcist shows the head of Blair’s demon character seemingly spinning.
This illusion reveals some of the biases the human brain uses to interpret the orientation of the face and body.
Optical illusions show how deceptive our eyes can be.

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