The illusion of a "mixed-cylinder" created Kokichi Sugihara of the Meiji University (Japan) and submitted to the contest "Best Illusion of the Year", which holds the Company neurological research. The best experts to create illusions once a year present their works to the contest. Cylinders Kokichi Sugihara took 2nd place, but in the opinion of the audience (and the editorial board Website as well), they are worthy of the Grand Prix! After looking at their brain simply lost: how is this possible ?!

Kokichi Sugihara cylinders on one side appear as squares, on the other hand - as circles. Thus, if you put them in front of the mirror, the top of the cylinder face will look like a square and a circle at the same time!

Work Kokichi Sugihara has caused genuine interest among specialists. One of them made a thorough reconstruction of the original form of this pattern and printed it on of 3D-printers. In his reconstruction of illusion it turns out not worse than the Japanese.
