I would just like to clear up my illusion. Most of you got it (I think) but I got some coments telling me that balancing on a chair wasn't an illusion. I fooled them I guess. ;o)
I was actually holding the chair against the ceiling, taped my little moose and diliberatly moved my hand to make it more realistic. And yes, the lighting was this way on purpose. I tried it shining "down" and it didn't look that good, not to get the desired effect anyway. :o)
Well, you didn't fool me. :) IMHO, you were too far off to have been balanced. If you had turned the chair around, so you were more centered over it, it might have been more effective. And probably would have broken your arm. :)
it was an interesting idea for sure.. I just thought that the light shining from the bottom made it look like you were holding the chair up and not balancing... a light from your feet would have made it look more like you were balancing on the chair...
