3D Art of Table Illusion

This is Roger Shepard’s “Turning the Tables” illusion. Look at the two tables below. If I told you they had an equal surface area on their table tops, you'd probably say "maybe". But what if I told you that they also were identical in both length and width. Don't believe me? Measure them for yourself. This optical illusion appeared in the Jan. 2003 issue of Discover Magazine.

The below image is given so you can print it out, make a cutout of a tabletop, and reposition it over the other one.
