This thesis describes the journey from the theoretical idea to an experimental proof of a novel optical effect. Only recently, in 2009, an elusive beam shift phenomenon was predicted. This geometric spin Hall effect of light (SHEL) amounts to a dis- placement of a light beam, which surprisingly depends solely on the photon spin and the geometry of the detection system. In fact, this very fundamental beam shift has always been hidden in plain sight, in the structure of circularly and elliptically po- larized light beams, and can be revealed theoretically by employing a non-standard, i.e. tilted reference frame. Experimentally, the observation of the geometric SHEL relies on a physical oper- ation breaking the symmetry of a light bea...
