The best illusion I've ever seen!

[Darkman]

Here's an optical illusion you can print out and put on your desk at work...

There's a video demonstrating it here

I just had to try this, so printed out and spent 5 minutes cutting and sticking with the 3yr old.

It's brilliant fun as your mind interprets the visual input and converts it into 3d. It really does look like the head follows you around

I can only see her going counter clockwise? !

Look at her leg that sticks out and imagine it as 3D, rotating atoun and then behind her body. As it does that, imagine it backwards and it will work. lol
Rubbish advice, I know. Took me a couple of attempts.

 

[Vita]

I swear if I forward the video from 0.25sec to 0.33sec she goes from clockwise to anti-clockwise.

 

[Locky]

I can make it go both ways, if I start to think about somert it changes direction.

 

[Felix]

Only anti clockwise for me!

 

[.Kencs]

I've tried this illusion so many times, only clockwise for me...

me and my wife just had this arguement lol..
clockwise for me too but she says she changes.....oooookkkkk, moving swiftly on lol

 

[Felix]

Finally both ways! :S

 

[.Kencs]

How the HELL is people seeing her both ways~?????

 

[Felix]

Stare at her inside foot. Once you crack it you can change her mid turn.

The shadow hints at it going anticlockwise... surely?

There's a site where that's on the whole page, works a lot better.

The shadow isn't anything to go by, considering it would extend past the shadow of her foot on the floor if she spun round.

 

[WHAT!!!]

The only part which seemed to move clockwise or anti clockwise for me was the leg, the arms always seemed to move the same way.

Not seen that illusion either, its not the best i've seen though

TBH

That was cool

 

[Moredhel]

Ditto, but then again I'm considered mentally healthy. I think you need to be on the same level as Angus Higgins to see it spin counter clockwise.

Thanks

I can see it either way, I just think about it and it changes mid-spin.

I can see it both ways, have to close my eyes and think about how it would look spinning the other direction to change between them though.
