**Your favourite OPTICAL ILLUSIONS...**

The woman can spin either way, if you concentrate hard enough on it changing it will!

As for Einstein, don't need to go over the otherside of the room, just squint. The 'tasche is her smile :)
 
Stare at in for 30 secs then look at a plain wall

I broke the spinny lady GIF at the top of this page (page 2), and drawn arrows on it. Clearly it is clockwise and her stationary leg bobs up and down slightly on the spot. The reflection (or what little can be seen of it), is just the flipside. I fail to see how it can be the other way or both ways.
 
Got her spining both ways.
Very strange been looking at the image about 10 times she was always going clockwise trying to will her to go anti-clockwise,
Thinking this is sad here I am trying to make a image go the other way looked down at my keyboard looked up & she was then going anti-clockwise,
now I can't make her go clockwise again.

Re doing a drawing no point just the same as yours but with the arrow pointing the other way.
 
Took me ages to work out the spinny woman. Still cant do it on command. If i cover up everything but her legs I can make her 1 moving leg shake from side to side and alternate (rather than actually spin - more doing the okey cokey). Its a good one. For people trying to dissect the image, you are working it out from your viewpoint, the angled arm and leg change from left to right depending on which way you are viewing her so putting arrows on it doesnt really do much.

Dancer one is clever, trick is in not focusing on the entire silhuette, as that way she will spin for you only in one direction and you just can't imagine it changing direction, since she's clearly spinning in constant motion and you can see her stretched leg clearly going lower in front of the other (meaning it spins clockwise for me btw). Focus on her feet or shadow and imagine it changing direction (constant jerking of the gif helps) - suddenly she spins the other way, lifting her leg up as she spins.
 
I can see it spinning both ways too :)

If you scroll the page down so you can just see the feet/shadow, then picture which way it should be spinning from the shadow.. then scroll back up.
 
There are a couple of other versions of that GIF with coloured limbs that make it only work one way or the other, so you can see how and why it works. It's down to which limbs your brain perceives as being in front IIRC.
