A most interesting effect with a winner background.

The Magician's Illusion

The effect here is good and the lighting is satisfying. The idea is clever, however, by using a hanger wire and wrapping a part around your bicep and then you can use hot glue to place the card on the wire and now you can show the complete hand including the thumb. This is just a suggestion because evrything else about this image is great including the intense concentration and eye placement. I like it.

I am a bit lost on the form except to say it is very appealing and looking almost like a Picaso. Good job.

Very nice and charming . The clothing and the hands in the air give a sense of suspension. Personally I would have included the left side of the carpet because the strong top lighting would have aided the illusion of floating.

Dismembered hand

This is a very well done illusion which takes advantage of all that falls into the first zone simply drops out and blends in with a background of a similar zone. There is one more thing that can be done to enhance this effect. Let us say you print this out life size and then use say the pinky. Cut it out, you need not cut perfect. Then use a black magic marker and blackenned the edges. Now you cover the entire pinky and place the cut piece at an abnormal angle to create a displacement. The viewer will at once figure that you are dropping tones but then the displaced fingertip will aid the illusion by creating a double take from the viewer. However be proud of this effort since in its own right it is complete.

A very clever idea. I did a similar effort which remained an outtake for the "Broken Challenge" Everything you did here is 100% insofar as the layout and composition. The minor drawback is the lighting otherwise the effect os tops.

A very nice image and concept. There is a minor ambiguity with the lighting and it becomes apparant on second look. The pieces have the biggest highlights on the left and they cast noticeable shadows but the subject has the main light from the right. Personally I would have had the lighting coming from the same direction. However, the set up is very nice.
