Summary: This paper introduces a new concept of mirror symmetry, called ``anomalous mirror symmetry'', which is physically impossible but can be perceived by human vision systems because of optical illusion. This symmetry is characterized geometrically and a method for creating cylindrical surfaces that create this symmetry is constructed. Examples of solid objects constructed by a 3D printer are also shown.
