The first illusion is an excellent one that I've enjoyed ever since I first saw it.
However, #3 is a bit questionable. The image actually shows two crosses with different-coloured center pieces. There just happens to be tow pieces of coloured film in the way. The fact that the colours of the films are picked to make the center pieces the exact same colour when photographed (or in this case, computer rendered) ends up seeming sort of besides the point. It's like setting up a huge, perfectly planned and executed scheme to trick somebody, and then somehow thinking it was UTTERLY SURPRISING that they were tricked.
