In this single page PDF, I go over a hidden structure of extracting methods from ordinary objects. I use this framework in my daily work, through years of practice my assessment of an object happens in just a few seconds now. The purpose of this structure is to learn tools that can allow an illusion designer to discover illusion methods at a more efficient speed. I use these techniques in my daily creative process for designing illusion.
There is no magic formula to creating illusions but this might help you.
