I've checked this out, and it's true, but I still can't believe it!

Here's a version of the photo that proves it... (I had to resize it so it would fit.)

Here are some more I've seen over the years...

The first one totally threw me. Thanks for posting the "proof" because I was extremely doubtful!

The Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise? If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa. Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

-------------------

I see it as starting to move anti-clockwise, then it seems to jump into clockwise...

I saw clockwise first but then was able to see it counter-clockwise.

Good one face. I started seeing counter-clockwise, then clockwise. I found focusing on the more stationary foot made it easier to change direction.

It was actually easier for me to look away, with the figure still in my periphial vision, then I could make it change.

Here's one.

Watch the gap in the pink dots as it circles around the cross.

Then focus on the cross, and watch all the dots disappear, and new green dot circle the cross.

It took me ages to find the car in this illusion

you can't fool me bat, there is no car - good try

I think you need to squint at it for a few minutes like those Magic Eye pics - then the car magically appears. It's not worked for me yet.

FYI, if you log out, some of the postings / images disappear (I think the ones which link to folder "files/"

Post by **faceless** » Sun Nov 04, 2007 2:12 pm

that's not an illusion - that's a setting... file attachments can only be seen by members.
