It's even better if you print it and fold it yourself. |

Hey LBF I wanted to post that one - I have it on my computer, but couldn't find it on the internet. One of my favourites! |

I don't understand either. I can't not see it. Even when i'm close to it. |

I wonder what it is that makes some people unable to see it. Like, I have to focus with all my might NOT to see it. I wonder if you're trying too hard to see it?
One guy that I finally got to see it yesterday said that for him he had to sort of focus past it, like he wasn't really looking at it but a little past it.

Did you try looking at it with one eye closed like it suggests on the instructions? Loosing your stereo vision makes it a lot easier to see.

The printed dragon didn't work for me either. It's resting in my garbage bin.

Yeah, it's very strange. I know lighting/shadows play a big part, but I still couldn't get some of them to see it.
Definitely folded correctly, though.

Maybe you've somehow ...folded it improperly?

I thought that at first, but they were different groups (not everyone at once). I showed someone who said they thought they saw it the video and she was like, "THAT'S what it looks like?!"

I think they were teasing you.
If you put the dragon far enough (say 2 meters), everybody will see it. |

I brought the dragon thing to work and people would look at me like I'm on crack. I can totally see it (looks just like the video) but they do not.
Odd...

This last one is amazing, I didn't believe it either, but then I just opened it in Paint and erased everything but the two squares... I still can't believe it when I look at it, but they really are exactly the same!

Yeah, I'm still not convinced they're the same, I don't care what Photoshop says.

Cool stuff. I printed it and have it guarding my inbox. Some people get it right away and others just don't, but I love it.
A coworker was telling me about this one where you stare at some pattern of dots or something and then close your eyes and see, in this case, a picture of Jesus. Anyone seen one like that before?

I like how it says "Grand Illusions" and thereby reminds
me of one of the best albums by one of the greatest
bands of all time!!!!!
