Baffling Tile Illusion
Argentine illusionist Norberto Jansenson has become an internet sensation performing his tile illusion. He begins by using 63 (9×7) square grey tiles and after a little rearranging he is somehow left with 64 tiles! He repeats the procedure until he has 65 and then 66 tiles before performing the illusion in reverse to make the tiles disappear. The most bewildering factor about this illusion is that there appears to be no sleight of hand or flourish involved. He wrote on his Youtube page “I do not claim to have any kind of powers, nor do I pretend to confuse you… I’m an artist of illusion, so my work only focuses on triggering your imagination, your sense of wonder, your capacity of being a kid again, and believing in the impossible.”
