    Default seriously amazing optical illusion

    http://info.break.com/static/live/v1...ain/brain.html

    that is by far the coolest illusion i have ever seen. which way does she spin for you when you look at it right away? if you focus hard enough, you can make it spin the other way...

    Is this some kind of trick? It looks clockwise to me.

    I couldn't get it to switch while I was looking at it but when I closed the window it was spinning the other way when I opened it again. Rigged?

    That's cool I can make her switch at will. When she goes clockwise her foot is coming down to the floor when she goes counter clockwise it's like she is jumping off the floor. Watch her feet and hte floor and stare for a while it'll switch

    i thought it was something that was rigged and changed over time, but i figured out how to change it when i want. what i did was cover up her head/boobs with your hand, then cover her legs up to her stomach with your other hand. you should only see just about an inch of her torso and her arms... focus on her arms and eventually you can make it spin the other way, slowly remove your hands and she will be spinning the opposite!

    it was clockwise for me originally, and by doing that i can make it spin either way.

    Surprise surprise the shemale is opposite of most of utes.

    She was always counterclockwise for me but then I started making the counterclockwise circle with her and she switched.

    EDIT: Grrrrrrrr - now I can't make her go back to counterclockwise. You've ruined my brain.

    I just got the roses picture to work - I've never been able to do that before.

    I wonder if I'm missing anything...?

    EDIT: I got my brain in the relaxed state with the roses and then I saw E=mc squared.

    I wonder what else would pop out if you were shrooming?

    lol i really can't even comprehend how it could possibly be spinning clockwise. it's just counter-clockwise and that's all there is to it.

    What the fuck, this really works. I was saying clockwise 100%. Weird...

    I just focus on the outside foot. If I want it to be clockwise then I think about it kicking towards me when it's on the right, and I do the same on the left if I want it to be counterclockwise.

    Holy crap, I'm on dope now. I can make it switch by focusing on her outside foot for a few turns, her pivot foot for a few turns, and then the shadow of her pivot foot for a few turns.....then it'll reverse to counter-clockwise.

    Weird stuff.

    No hindsight for the blind.
    Wtf I was sure it was rigged. When I look straight at it it's clockwise. When I shift my focus to the left and let the peripheral vision take over, it switches to counter-clockwise and stays that way when I focus on it again.

    i cannot see clockwise no matter what i try. obv i don't use the right side of my brain at all.

    I'm definitely right-brain. She spins clockwise at first every time I look at the image.

    But I can make her spin counter-clockwise by reciting the alphabet backwards, starting with "Z". The change happens when I get to about "T". This should work for most of you that can only see her spinning clockwise.

    For you left-brain people, perhaps try to imagine that she is a color other than black. Try to see her as dark purple or dark green or whatever and keep focusing on seeing her as a color. This should cause her to start spinning in the other direction.

    If you were a bird looking down at her, clockwise would be her rotating in the same direction that a clock's hands rotate.

    I cant make it switch either.. though I could imagine you could see it the other way around.

    The conclusions are totally bogus though.. it's clockwise for me and it says I'm all about feeling, philosophy and religion, which is the exact opposite of the truth.

    I CAN'T MAKE HER GO COUNTER CLOCKWISE AND IT'S PISSING ME OFF
  37. #37
    OMG OMGOOMGM i just got it

    i can get her to switch by staring at her pivot foot in her shadow

    that's fucked up
  38. #38
    haha this is awesome..

    one other way i can make it switch back and forth is by looking at it spin in the corner of my eye. like focus on the middle of the page but just kinda glance at it and picture it spinning the other way. works for me.

    I finally got it. To make her spin counter-clockwise I just focus on the shadow of her outside foot. Once she's counter-clockwise, I can't switch back until I focus on her pivot foot.

    I never would have guessed that I was right-brained.

    I was able to make her switch by watching the outside foot as well, but she definitely spins counter-clockwise unless I make her spin the other way.

    And I am most definitely left-brained.

    It's funny, here, everyone's first reaction was hoax/rigged, but on the other non-poker forum I post on, everyone immediately accepted it was genuine. Wonder what that says about poker players?

    yeah i thought i was never gonna get it and thought i would just never go back for fear of going insane, but i finally got by focusing on the shadow of her foot (the foot on the middle of the page).

    its so satisfying when you finally get it.

    lol i thought it was rigged too but i got it now

    I focus on the shadow of her outside foot and kind of force it to go the way i want. then the rest of the picture just follows.

    Okay so I had three people looking at my computer at the same time, and we all had saw her moving in different directions. For me, it kept moving clockwise and never switched once. Everyone else had it switching back and forth frequently. :S

    at first it was spinning clockwise, but i got it to switch back and forth pretty easily. It makes sense because ive always been a pretty even split between left and right brained.

    It took me like 15 min to figure it out but now I can change her direction at will. I just focus on the shadow of her swinging foot. If I want to imagine her going clockwise, I imagine the shadow of her swinging foot goes in front of the shadow of her stationary foot shadow. If I want her to go counter clockwise, I imagine the shadow of her swinging foot going behind the shadow of her stationary foot. This is one of the craziest illusions ever! good find
  66. #66
    GAWD I AM GOING OUT OF MY MIND!!!!!

    took me forever!!!

    the only way i can do it is to look at the feet. i realized that the reflection means that you can see her turn either clockwise or counter-clockwise. so i looked at her feet UPSIDE-DOWN!!! then i turned my head 180 degrees.

    here's the weird part...at 89 degrees i'll see counter, BLINK ONCE, bam at 91 degrees is goes clock!!!

    AHHHHHHH GOING CRAZY!!!
  67. #67
    OMGWTF!!!! if i tilt my head from 89 to 91 back and worth she doesn't spin!! she just pivots back and forth!!!! AAHHHHH i'm going crazy!!!

    I couldn't get her to go clockwise for forever. Then I do the whole "look at her feet thing." and she'll turn around.

    And yes; My first thought was "OMG RIGGED!"

    I do not get it...Is this a hole in the matrix?

    i tried this technique and it seems to work the best. however, i can only get the bitch to stay counter-clockwise for like two seconds. when i focus back on her she starts clockwise again. this fucking whore!

    also, i swear to god this works for me, if i think sexual thoughts she starts the other way (and not sexual thoughts about the spinning lady in case you're wondering).

    I got it to switch, when I glanced over as I was reading a book. But when I tried to verify the direction, I tried to visualize a right-handed coordinate system to describe the rotation and she went back to clockwise.

    So possibly the presentation of the problem (visual and asking clockwise vrs counter clockwise) is inherently right-brain? Or possibly its just inherently right-brain for just me.

    Just have to cover the body and look at the legs, tell yourself when the leg swings to the left it's moving away from you and she'll go counterclockwise, tell yourself it's coming towards you and she'll be going clockwise. If i don't cover the body i can't do it. really no way to know cuz it's a shadow. The real issue here is what color are her panties???????

    it took me 3 minutes to try to explain to my idiotic coworkers what i meant my clockwise or counterclockwise. better question is, right or left foot?
