«Amazing Optical Illusions» is the children's science book by Al Seckel, published by Firefly Books in hardcover (32 pages, in English).
It collects thirty optical illusions of various types, presented in photographs, illustrations and computer-generated graphics. Each image invites a second look and shows how the brain interprets, and sometimes distorts, what the eyes see. The explanations are aimed at young readers and turn each illusion into a visual game.
The edition is from 2004; although the cover shows the name IllusionWorks, the catalogue entry attributes the work to Al Seckel.
Suitable for children aged 6 to 10 and for adults curious about visual perception.
Alfred Paul Seckel was an American collector and popularizer of visual and other types of sensory illusions, who wrote books about them. Active in the Freethought movement as a skeptic in the 1980s, he was the co-founder and executive director of the Southern California Skeptics. News coverage arising from his connection to Jeffrey Epstein has stressed Seckel's misrepresentation of his education and credentials. In 2010, Seckel provided reputation management services for Epstein. He died in France in 2015.
