This is not a Rubik’s Cube. We know it looks like a Rubik’s Cube, but trust us. It isn’t. It’s an illusion — an anamorphic illusion, to be exact — and its one of the best examples of the medium we’ve seen in a long time.

The artist, who goes by Brusspup, reveals the perspectival trickery behind the illusion in the video — he’s even included links to hi-res, printable versions of the images he uses so you can try it out for yourself. He recommends printing them on legal size paper (8.5″x14″) and cutting them out to heighten the visual effect. Click here, here and here to see them in hi-res.
