Alright, this illusion is really terrific. Go here to read about it. Watch the video. If you do one thing at the link watch the video, it’s insane.

You can make your own. It’s really awesome.

It is! I made my own and everyone who comes into my room will be really freaked out when they see it. Up close you have to close one eye, but from across a room it works without closing an eye at all. It’s so neat.

Yeah, the hollow face thing on the site is an illusion based on the same principle.

</div>

Wow, that’s so cool. I made mine too, it works just like on the video. And it works for me with both my eyes open, but I think that’s just because I’m really stupid/gullible. Anyway, that’s one awesome illusion!

Yeah, try putting far away. Then you don’t have to close an eye, and it spooks everyone.

Actually, it’s within an arms reach from me, and yet it works with both eyes. Like I said, I’m either gullible or just plain stupid. :tongue:

That’s right ! I’ve put it on a shelf at the back of my lounge, and it’s very funny. A friend of mine came this afternoon, and he found it really amazing ! :happy:  
I’ve a little pet in my flat now ! :content:
