Ok, good one mr Derren Brown. But you know everyone will realise, being an extremely traditional optical illusion theme, that the item which appears smaller is in fact bigger/same size. So really, I would have preferred you to conclude that we should stop trying to be clever and just say what the fuck we see it is bigger. duh. Jus' saying... also if nobody has invented 'optical illusion boxers' that make men's penises seem larger, i'm so off to the copyrighters!!! (Cocktical illusion??)

It is another paid trick of Big Bad Tobacco to utilize cigarettes in the illusion instead of something healthy such as carrots or cabbages. Surely someone has been paid a pretty penny by Big Bad Tobacco to create this illusion online as a subliminal trick to hypnotically force more people to smoke cigarettes beyond what is humanly possible until they are uncontrollably under Big Bad Tobacco's spell. I hope the next such illusion will incorporate the image of a Nicorette to offset the damage already done by showing that of the nearly publicly unmentionable taboo, c*g*r*tt*.

Very good example of an old idea, only the post title gave it away. My cursor almost matched the filters on both cigs, otherwise it was very convincing.
