That was amazing. My stomach did flip flops each time the illusion was revealed.

My mind has been blown. I'd like to know what printer can print out these high-res images, it's pretty convincing.

Any nice photo printer I guess.
Just find yourself some software to transform images for viewing at odd angles like that.

You could probably just use the perspective transform in GIMP to get the effect, the fact that it worked is all in the angle of the camera.

Julian Beaver has been doing it for some time now, I still think that one of his earlier chalk drawings is best, the coca-cola bottle, He has got the glass effect so perfect.
