This book is truly a visual feast for the eyes, a fun book just to browse and look at or to learn about visual illusions.
The theory about how each optical illusion works can be very simple, or very complex, sometimes requiring advanced neurophysiology and even mathematics and calculus to understand, so there's great variation in terms of the range of difficulty and complexity.
Anyway the learning experiences you can get out of visual illusions are a greater understanding - & appreciation - of how the brain really works & its innate abilities.

Widely considered one of the great thinkers of the 20th century, Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget did for intelligence and mental development what Freud did for personality. In Mind Magic, a former Piaget student builds upon his teacher's pioneering work to offer you a program for unleashing the power of your mind. The key, according to John Miller, is learning "mind consciousness," or how one thinks best. Combining problem-solving and learning techniques from a variety of fields, including psychology, education, and computer science, he shows you how to observe your mind at work and use that knowledge to:

• Dramatically enhance the three aspects of intelligence crucial in the modern world: adaptability, creativity, and information management
• Make logic and emotion work together
• Gain the confidence needed to aim for higher intellectual achievement
