No fake illusions consisting of animated .gif files!

Spoiler

Focus on the center and move your head back and forth. It will appear to be spinning.

Pfffffffft, there's nothing wrong with .gif files.

Most illusions are the moving .gif type anyways, I don't get why the sexy flameiguana would say no .gifs.

Probably meant don't use animated gifs to make fake illusions.

This one is amazing. I am showing this to all my friends now ^^.
Man... I was thinking of a screamer or a pop-up, so I scrolled my page down and just stared at the bottom of the picture.

Then I noticed nothing bad, so I decided to try it out. I thought it was just gonna show all black and white before when you don't stare at the dot, so I watched and guessed. When I saw the colours, I was amazed.

Gardner Dragon....

Wait...How does that work? o.o

The dragon head is actually concave, indented, but when you look at it with one eye (no depth perception) you can't tell it's not actually bulging out (like a "face" should). And an indented surface behaves different when you change the viewing angle, allowing for this kind of illusion.


You can even make one yourself. They are awesome.
