We’ve seen many talented Photoshop Masters around the world who use their technical virtuosity and skills to creatively transform the human face, but Egyptian blogger, digital artist and video editor Mohamed Gaber who called himself "Mgpixel" takes Photoshop artistry to the next top level.

It’s no surprise that Gaber has amassed more than 160,000 Instagram followers and over 2,067 Twitter followers.

The Digital artist uses Photoshop tools to turn Egyptian stars into any famous historical and political figure.

With a skilled mastery of photo manipulation, Gaber, 30, digitally stitches pictures together into one highly believable picture.

Further, the results from these Photoshop fusions and emulations are subtle and certain to make you do a double-take.

At first peek, it's easy to see the defining features of one person, while later noticing and recognizing the facial characteristics of another. 

In the same vein, this effect is abundantly clear just by taking a look at a mashup of renowned Egyptian actor Ashraf AbdElbaky and US former President Obama: Obama's signature smirk is paired with the nose and cheekbones of AbdElbaky.

Depending on how you're looking at the photo, you might probably see one more than the other, but keep looking! You're bound to recognize another face in there.

These stunning pictures manipulations show just how efficient a little editing can be. 

From the iconic late Sanaa Gamil, Yossif Chaaban to Hassan El Sherbini, each fake image will make you do a double-take.
