Last week I took the challenge by visiting the fascinating world of illusions in Grand Illusions, the <strong>first optical illusions gallery of Malaysia<\/strong> (and probably the only one in South-East Asia).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2014\/20141222_23.jpg\" alt=\"Malaysia Book of Records for Grand Illusions, the first optical illusion gallery of Malaysia\" \/><br \/>\nPic: Grand Illusions was officiated by Mayor of Kota Kinabalu City, Datuk Abidin Madingkir on 20 Dec 2014 and it was certified by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.malaysiarecords.com.my\/\">Malaysia Book of Records<\/a> as the first optical illusion gallery of Malaysia.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2014\/20141222_1.jpg\" alt=\"building of Grand Illusions\" \/><br \/>\nPic: the building of Grand Illusions<\/p>\n<p>Grand Illusions is like a land of magic but the difference is &#8211; you will be tricked by your mind rather than crafty magician. Even though you know those are just illusions, your body just can&#8217;t help responding to them in wrong way. It&#8217;s a fun house suitable for all ages (5 years and above is recommended) and both kids and adults will be intrigued by the illusions created by principles of art, physics, biology and mathematics.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2014\/20141222_3.jpg\" alt=\"ticket counter and entrance of Grand Illusions\" \/><br \/>\nPic: ticket counter and entrance to the gallery<\/p>\n<p>Grand Illusions was opened in Nov 2014 by Chester and his wife Lena, after they were inspired by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.puzzlingworld.co.nz\/\">Wanaka&#8217;s Wonderful World of Weirdness<\/a> in New Zealand. The owners also add some designs of their own. Now it has become one of the most-talked about attraction in Kota Kinabalu City (KK). You may have heard or seen some of the popular illusions on the Internet, but this 2-storey gallery is the only place in Malaysia where you can experience and interact with these illusions in closer and larger scale. Furthermore, kids love to touch things. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2014\/20141222_4.jpg\" alt=\"guide of Grand Illusions\" \/><br \/>\nPic: our pretty guide, Kattie. Thank you for your hospitality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The tour takes about 40 to 60 minutes<\/strong> and a guide will come along playing with you. Their staff will show you how to enjoy yourself in each gallery and reveal the secrets behind the interesting phenomena you see and feel. His\/her another role is to help you to pull yourself together when your mind is screwed by the illusions. But seriously, a few sections would make your senses a bit disoriented. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2014\/20141222_5-big.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2014\/20141222_5.jpg\" alt=\"map of Grand Illusions galleries\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nPic: map of Grand Illusions galleries<\/p>\n<p>There are 12 illusion galleries to make your world seems so &#8220;unreal&#8221;, as shown in the photo above. Photo-taking is prohibited in four of the galleries. Surprises are important for getting the most fun, so I only highlight a few things here and let you go there to figure out the rest.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2014\/20141222_7.jpg\" alt=\"gravity room\" \/><br \/>\nPic: you can do the anti-gravity lean like Michael Jackson in Gravity Room.

It&#8217;s called Cornsweet illusion, first described by experimental psychologist Tom Cornsweet in the 1960s. After trying, you will say &#8220;No Way!&#8221; but you have to believe it.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2014\/20141222_12.jpg\" alt=\"floating burger\" \/><br \/>\nPic: staff showing there is no string above and below a floating burger.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2014\/20141222_17.jpg\" alt=\"Electrostatic generator\" \/><br \/>\nPic: Though I had seen electrostatic generator many times on TV, I&#8217;m still amused by the effect, so is the kid.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2014\/20141222_15.jpg\" alt=\"kid playing with Nebula globe\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2014\/20141222_16.jpg\" alt=\"Nebula globe\" \/><br \/>\nPic: the super cool Nebula globe, even adult loves this big toy.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2014\/20141222_18.jpg\" alt=\"shrinking room of Grand Illusions\" \/><br \/>\nPic: <strong>Shrinking Room (or <em>Ames Room<\/em>) is the favorite of most visitors.<\/strong> Kids are so happy to see themselves grow bigger than their parents. This illusion is very popular and I think you had seen it on physics textbook, now you can try it yourself. Chester says you need very precise calculation to get the visual effect right. *Note: no loss of height after trying it.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2014\/20141222_19.jpg\" alt=\"shrinking room\" \/><br \/>\nOh No Honey, I Shrunk the Kid&#8230;<br \/>\nThis invention, created in 1934 by American ophthalmologist Adelbert Ames, Jr., is really a masterpiece of illusion.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2014\/20141222_20.jpg\" alt=\"shadow wall\" \/><br \/>\nPic: Shadow Wall is totally new to me.

My vestibular system is so confused that I couldn&#8217;t walk straight upon exit, like everything around me was spinning. Some people would feel a bit dizzy. No worry, it won&#8217;t harm you and you will regain balance again after a short moment.<\/p>\n<h3>The Lobby<\/h3>\n<p>People are quite excited about this shiny new attraction, so you may expect a waiting line in Grand Illusions during weekends.
