CLASSIC SCAMAPALOOZA

In the first episode of Scamapalooza, I talked to Lawrence Leung about his TV show Unbelievable and his love of the paranormal.

Can someone please explain this? It's really ruining my day.

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

[Nicholas J. Johnson @CountLustig]

CLASSIC PODCAST EPISODE

I talked to Glenn Hester, the carnival cop, about his 28 years of dealing with dodgy carnival games.

CLASSIC PODCAST EPISODE

I talked to my old friend ventriloquist Sarah Jones about belly talking, creepy dummies, and necromancy!

[Nicholas J. Johnson @CountLustig]

It's like the car park owners asked themselves, how can we make parking even MORE disorientating?

Friday Optical Illusion!

This isn't the walls of a tunnel but rather the floor of the Duomo cathedral in Florence, Italy.

Only visible from above, the illusion works because the pattern narrows and shrinks towards the middle, creating the illusion of walls.

This rug by Belinda Rio Henderson utterly melts my brain.

This video by Oyvind Kolas is actually black and white with a grid of thin coloured lines over it. Because our eyes struggle to differentiate colours, the colours from the lines "bleed" into the greyscale video. #illusions #opticalillusions #trippy #deceptology

I'm certain Mario is running down the stairs!
