Crazy Japanese Optical Illusion Makes This Arrow To Always Point At Left No Matter How You Rotate It

Mathematician Kokichi Sugihara from Meiji University Japan has proven once again that he the greatest illusion inventor of the time. Apart from creating mind-twisting images, he also creates real-life 3D objects which seems to be ignoring the laws of our universe.

The illusion still works when the arrow is placed next to a mirror and the reflected image always points left. In his video, Sugihara has revealed a trick which is not magic but an optical illusion.

Sugihara uses his skills to design different 3D objects which can change their appearance based on which angle you are looking at them. If you look from above, the arrow is perfectly symmetrical but not uniform in shape. If you look at it from a different angle, one side appears to be more pointy than the other. When the brain tries to process what it is seeing, it looks at the pointy end only.
