  1. Anamorphic Art
  2. Essence of Escher
  3. Everyone is You and Me
  4. Hidden Images
  5. Impossible Triangle
  6. Lovely Vanna
  7. Mirage (Pink Pig in a Poke)
  8. Multi-Dimensional Shadows
  9. Mysterious King Tut
  10. Pointillist Physicist
  11. Reverse Mask
  12. Squirming Palm
  13. Vision Collision
