The trick is that the ones that actually see the illusion as real can interact with it as if its real, while it behaves like an illusion for the ones that see through it.

Illusory bridges, illusory pillars holding up a ceiling, illusory walls blocking pools of acid, etc.
Assuming you're using [shadow] spells in 3.5, the bridge-type stuff works but the others do not; objects auto-succeed on their Will saves, so the pools of acid and ceilings will collapse right through the shadows most (all?) of the time.

Homebrew Sigbox and Quotebox are overflow. RACSD and Top Ten fix and highlight some 3.5 rough spots. See also Gentlemen's Agreement.
