Hi,

As we just opened a new temporary exhibition on illusions, one of my
collegues is putting together a show about illusions.
The idea is to give more in depth information to the audience about why we
observe illusions.
The show has to be performed 2 or 3 times a day for an audience of ca 100
persons (children and adults)
He has an extremely long list of 'nice illusions for the show', but most
tend to be of the 'flat visual' type.

But we like to engage the audience (fe. sausage between your vingers, hole
in your hand) and involve other senses (fe. Sheppard tones)
But that list is rather short.
Does anyone has some ideas which might help him out?
Suggestions for more interactive illusions, and illusions who involve more
than seeing (and of course: are easy to do and cheap) are very welcome.

Thanks in advance


Patricia
