It works "EVERY TIME" for me.

EVERY TIME I tell you.

Even when I try to make it not work, it STILL WORKS!!!!11

It works for me, but like any optical illusion, I can see it both ways if I try to...

Web search for "dragon illusion print out" In a few minutes you can make something that works in the same way.

I found the copy of the file I had on my hard drive and uploaded it to imgur. Here.

Edit: Bonus, video!

Edit edit: More bonus. I found a torrent with 25 Hollow Face Illusions. I'm downloading it now.

The thing is, that kind of illusions only works if you look at it with one eye. The internet videos are recorded with a camera - from a single point of view, so the illusion works. Any king of depth perception will ruin it.

I am the King of Depth Perception. I will ruin it all.

[–]The-Beer-Baron 1 point2 points ago

That's not true. The illusion is actually more pronounced (and impressive) in real life.

It helps if the light source is behind or below (since it's paper, it'll shine through somewhat), so the shadows add to the illusion.

I have a living proof that this is does not work with both eyes standing on a shelf next to me.

I'm mostly just messing with you because a lot of purists hereabouts say this subreddit should pretty much just be a somewhat toned down r/spacedicks (dont go there, seriously). There are places like r/mindfuck or r/shitbrix but r/gifs would probably appreciate it as well.

[–]swiftjab[S] 30 points31 points ago

[–]suo 0 points1 point ago

Linking to /r/spacedicks and then warning people not to click it has become the biggest circlejerk on reddit.

This is a similar trick to the one Disneyland uses on The Haunted Mansion to make the statue heads look like their gaze is following you.

One is pictured here.

You can find more information , as well as more info on The Haunted Mansion than you ever thought possible right here.

[–]UnashamedPacifist 0 points1 point ago

Kinda not wanting to visit your links because The Haunted Mansion is my all-time favorite Disney attraction. Some childhood memories should be left unmolested.

Yup. Saw the same thing in Vegas at Caesars Palace. I spent a good 5 minutes walking back and forth. After I realized I looked like an idiot, I took a picture and walked away (So i could analyze at home)

My first thought before it fully loaded was that a penis was going to punch through the paper and the cube. I'm not sure if I am relieved or disappointed.

Normally it means you are a sociopath. Or schizophrenic. I didn't get this illusion either. And I don't see this type of illusion as well: http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/pictures/illusions/movingwheels.html

/I can't be a sociopath. I like kittens!

[–]AuntieSocial 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Not all sociopaths are evil. High-functioning sociopaths are able to learn how to "fake" empathy because they know it's the right thing to do, culturally and/or because they prefer to for whatever reason. Many become doctors (especially in surgical specialties), scientists, CEOs and so on, careers where their ability to detach emotionally from their work is a plus and where self-centered, analytical behaviors are either expected or at least not a handicap. Liking kittens (or anything else, for that matter) is not behaviorally out of bounds. In fact, I would venture to guess that kittens/cats make great pets for sociopaths, since they are so self-contained. Like little furry sociopaths with weaponized cuteness for camouflage and protection.

[–]UnashamedPacifist 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well, gee, you confirmed my long suspected fear.

Liking the kitties was the mote between reality and my sociopathic tendencies. Gone.

That actually causes a sharp pain in my brain if I watch it long enough.

[–]Aarmed 0 points1 point ago

Only works from one single point of view like a camera lens. If seen in real life, you'd have to close one eye to get the same effect.

[–]Carendil[!] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If you watch it again you have to sort of force your brain into thinking that it's a cube again. I can swap in and out of getting tricked by it now, which is even tripper than before :S

[–]kaett 0 points1 point ago

reminds me a lot of the spinning dancer illusion.

ninja edit: not in the way that it uses light and perspective to fool your 2d depth perception, but that focusing can make you see past the optical trickery.

Once I saw the inside of the cube, I couldn't re-see the outside of the cube... Even upon rewatching. What sorcery is this?

Tl;dr - I saw the cube, and my brain has now "noped" it.

Whoa was crazy to see this on here. My moms boyfriend invented this new technology. It's going to be used to sell products. For example, you hold a magazine up to the webcam and it will show a 3D preview of the products. Some video games and movies when held up show little commercials. He showed us over Christmas. Pretty cool but overall kind of seems unnecessary IMO
