Not engraving related, but well worth a look!

Very cool! Thank you for share

on a vaguely related note, over the years i've often noticed that some photos of knives, guns, etc., in magazines & books were not shot from the same viewing angle as displayed in print. for better lighting, composition, camera postion, etc., the photographer might have been shooting the object upside down, sideways, or whatever. sometimes when you rotate the page, the image will suddenly 'line up' how it's supposed to.

My, what you can do with computers nowadays! Makes me wonder if all of the great engraving I see on the web is real!

I downloaded the images and printed the Rubik's Cube on 8.5x11 heavy weight matte photo paper. Then cut out the "top" area with an Xacto blade as per the one in the video. I can sort of get the illusion to work but not quite as nice as in the video. The cube appears to change in height but doesn't get to look just like a cube. I have tried various viewing angles, etc. Maybe it needs to be printed larger. But, you'd figure it would work at any size. My grandson was wowed by the video however.
