Lynn Haupt emailed me this picture of a boy, probably called Treavor (like the file is named) holding a fire in his hand. I thought it is a funny and smart illusion, so I published it online as well. You may ask how is that the boy doesn’t get his skin burned from the fire? It’s quite simple, he isn’t really holding it at all! I believe this is just a plain “relative sizes” illusion, where the fire is far behind the porch of the house, and is probably few meters tall! These optical illusion are very easy to produce, and this is probably the reason, why so much of them exist. You should make one of your own, for fun at least. But be careful that you hand doesn’t melt ;)
oh wow that kid is grabing his croch haha~~~~other than that nice illusion~~~~~~unless the illusion is him grabbing his crotch BUT ITS NOT!!! hahaha
as soon as i saw this picture i thought of this tennis camp i used to go to. and it would be so weird if it were taken there!
LOL tennis camp?!?!?! :
fallapaloop, you are so dumb. Grow up… I think that its sweet that a regualr family could take an awesome picture like this. Good work Treavor
Simple. I like it, little kids are funny.
Is he Claire’s brother?

See top left of the picture ‘holding the sun’ – the original is bigger and has more impact, but it’s along the same principles as todays illusion.
Heheheh, now thanks to fallapaloop i can’t look at this picture without thinking the illusion is, “It looks like i’m grabbing my crotch but actually my hand is by my side … or is it?!”
Haha great double illusion then! ;)
Welcome to PLAY practes
I say: Awsome!!
You say: Totally!
Is this taken with a special kind of camera? Because the backround is SO dark and there is NO light around the fire.
Super Weego Camo Artist ,,as soon as you use a flash on a camera.. evrything farther then 5 feet is total pitch black .. (night shot) ;)
thats aswome.
his hand is on his shirt genius.
da kid is grabin his ding
lol
Here’s how 2 do it.He is holding his hand to where you cant see the palm. The actual He did a good job because he actually made it look like he is holding te flame, but look closer.
u can see a man in the fire standing next to it
fallapaloop u r so mean. i agree with josie.GROW UP! what r u? 2?!
Actually, you can make REAL (and holdable!) fire balls, so I wouldn’t doubt that this is real.
It would be awesome to make my own illusion.
that is like so like so cool i love it like men like the wee dude is like holdilding like his like umm croch
nice illusion, except for the kid grabbing his crotch. 0_o
