You could describe that in one word:

Escher-ish

Photoshop?

Now it does. This is fake, this can be drawn, but you cant reproduce it in real life. Just look at the midbeam. Commonsense will tell you that if the two sides are parallel and on the same plane, there is no way the midbeam could go through the front of both.

Yes, you could actually reproduce this in real life-- although the illusion would only work when viewed at certain angles.

Actually, I'm betting this isn't a photochop at all.

Oooh sweet pic.

I'm gonna call shens.

The geometry doesn't add up for me.

Probably just a diagonal piece of wood made to look like it's some illusion.

 

[JujuFish]

I don't think it's a photochop. Look at that middle horizontal bar. I think it just sticks out, and the camera angle makes it look like it connects. Just look at its shadow.

The wood grain between the three sections of the picture does not seem continuous.

Yeah it's probably real and that middle piece isn't connected.

Another "impossible object" along the lines of the better known "impossible triangle" and "impossible cube".

Some of these "impossible objects" can be made, but the actual object only looks impossible from one viewpoint, which is the camera's viewpoint in this case. The actual object bears little resemblance to the "impossible object". If one Google's "impossible triangle" or "impossible cube", one can find real photographs of these impossible objects as well as alternate views showing how the object was built. One can probably find an Ames room too.

M. C. Escher was a master at drawing impossible objects. On my walls, I have four of the prints from this site but the waterfall is my favorite. I ask people "what's wrong with this picture?" Some get it, some don't. But if you could build it, you would put Exxon out of business in a day!

The tone on the center arm changes on the right side, and the shadows dropped by the piece suggest the middle arm indeed does not connect, as others have mentioned.

Looking at the top left corner, you also see where the cardstock was cut and folded - which implies at least a significant part of this is real. It might, however, have still been touched up in photoshop to get everything just so.

Yea, here's an Example

From over at digg, possible.mov which changes angles to show how it was done.
