Grab some pocket change and put your depth perception to the test with this simple experiment you can play at home. #BrainGames | National Geographic TV

Shadows can distort perception by altering the way we see depth, size, and shape. Light direction, intensity, and surface angles create illusions where objects seem larger, smaller, or even floating. This tricks the brain into seeing something different from reality, making shadows a powerful tool in optical illusions and artistic perspectives.
