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

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!!!!!




I still believe in the excellent joy of the Catholics

Thank you for making the dragon available on your site! You have turned a dull weekend at the office into an exploration of the wonders of the visual centers of the brain.

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?

That's it, trippy.

I still get upset because I can't seem to do the magic eye pics.

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!

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...

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

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?!"

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.

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

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.

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.

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