You (or your prankster friend) can become a head on a platter, plus there’s an Anti-Gravity Room, an Infinity Room (a hall of mirrors for the 21st century), and a room where you’ll walk on walls. Nothing is as it seems, it’s all illusion. Open daily, until midnight Fridays through Sundays! 77 Eighth Ave. (14th St.), 212-645-3230, newyork. museumofillusions.us

Every Sunday on the Upper West Side you can check out Grand Bazaar NYC, the city’s largest curated market—and most distinctive. This week you’ll also find the Vintage Treasure Bazaar. Meet over 100 vintage dealers selling a curated selection of fashion, accessories, vinyl records, art, glassware, cameras, jewelry, home décor, and more. You never know what you’ll find! Shop indoors and out as part of an Earth Month series. Come hungry! There are great artisanal bites as well. It’s all for a good cause, as the bazaar’s profits go to supporting local schools. 10am-5pm. Columbus Ave. & 77th St., 212-239-3025, grandbazaarnyc.org
