10 Most Disturbing Home Decoration

 Drawer pulls made of doll body parts! While the drawings look fine enough, the finished project in the flesh is a bit unsettling




Anatomical print chairs and pillows by AK-LH remind me to exercise proper posture when sitting.

Millions of people would love a chance to wipe their feet on Adolf Hitler and now it looks like they could have the chance with this 'Hitler rug'. The work is by Israeli artist Boaz Arad who says he is hoping to show how the Holocaust has scarred Israel, but also been misused by it. He says the rug is a representation of what a Nazi hunter would do if he caught the ultimate prize, the Nazi leader.


Apparently the designer Dzmitry Samal takes the term “table legs” quite literally and they're a bit disturbing.


                                                Imagine a room full of this tile, a little weird.




Made of two-tone wax (white on the outside, red on the inside), these Bleeding Pillar Candles look perfectly normal when sitting atop your coffee table. But light them up and watch as a creepy wax “blood” oozes out the melting candle!


This lampshade is actually a mass of people-shaped ornaments, twisted and frozen into torturous positions, intended to depict humanity's metaphorical fall from grace. All religious commentary aside, it's a dark, dramatic delight. Design by Lux Merx.


Every morning feels like a scene from a horror flick with this circular saw-shaped mirror by French company, Domestic.



Upon entering the bathroom, give your guests the shock of their lives with our Blood Bath Mat! It's the ultra realistic horror genre piece of homeware!

Gruesome, bloody, and absolutely offensive, the Blood Bath Mat is the perfect partner for our famous Blood Bath Shower Curtain. This terrifying blood stained bath mat, we feel, truly pays tribute to those classic Hitchcock and Hammer horror movies of old. 


Worrying that you don't think about death enough in your day-to-day life? Pratt student Charles Constantine is looking to change this and inject a bit of morbidity into the daily routine, with his new design for a coffee table coffin. . Not only can it store books and other knick-knacks like personal mementos, but its ultimate goal is to store YOU – or what remains of you – when you pass on to the next life.

Mobius Magic

Effect: 

The magician tries to fit a loop of paper around his wrist (or around the magic puppet's neck) but it won't fit.  The magician says, "Hmmm, I'll have to cut this loop bigger".  The magician takes a pair of scissors and cuts the loop in half up the middle.  Instead of two loops, the magician ends up with one larger loop that now fits around his wrist!
(Normally, you would expect a loop cut in half up the middle to turn into two loops, instead of one big loop).

OPTIONAL:  Have an audience member cut a regular loop (one without a twist) in half up the center before you start your trick -- they will get two loops.  Before cutting your loop, you can ask the audience to guess what you will get if you cut the loop in half up the center... as long as you don't have anyone in the audience who knows about Mobius Strips you should get lots of guesses like "you'll end up with two loops".

Supplies: 

  • Construction paper
  • Tape
  • Scissors
     

Secret: 

Take a long, fairly wide strip of paper.  Twist the paper once and tape it into a loop.
This type of loop is called a "Mobius Strip".

HOW IT WORKS

A loop with a single twist in it is called a mobius strip.  The "Mobius Strip" is an actual mathematical phenomenon.  You aren't really doing magic, you're doing math!
The Möbius strip has several curious properties.  A line drawn starting from the seam down the middle will meet back at the seam but at the "other side".  If continued the line will meet the starting point and will be double the length of the original strip.  This single continuous curve demonstrates that the Möbius strip has only one boundary.   The example they always give in university is that if an ant walks along the edge of the strip, he'll travel twice as long as the loop before he gets back to his starting point.
Cutting a Möbius strip along the center line yields one long strip with two full twists in it, rather than two separate strips. This happens because the original strip only has one edge which is twice as long as the original strip.
When you do the trick, you have to be careful to cut as close to the center as you can, because there's a second magical mathematical ability the Mobius Strip has.  If the strip is cut about a third of the way in from the edge, it creates two strips: One is a thinner Möbius strip, the other is a longer but thin strip with two full twists in it.   So keep your cut close to the center so you don't accidentally end up with this.
Grandma asked me... yes, but now how do we explain this all to a five year old!?  The answer is, you don't have to... you can just tell them it's magic!

As with all tricks, it's best if you practice this a few times before you do it for an audience!
