This one got me... stare at the cross in the middle, and watch what happens to the pink dots...

That was because of something else

The illusion is that although if you freeze the frame the dot has disappeared, when you watch it moving the dot shows as a different colour, like when you look at a lightbulb and then look away. you still see the image on your retina.

the trick is the pink ones disappear. Is it really a green one moving around though, or is that too an effect? If you stare at anything too long, the edges begin to disappear.

For this one below, focus on the central dot and move you head towards and away from the screen





The king of all kings. The colour of tile 'A' is the same as the colour of tile 'B'. Check it in photoshop

Benz... that last one's a cracker


JoelP - 14/8/05 at 08:56 AM

yup, alarming. Even if you cover all the rest up, it still looks different, but in photoshop (or paint) they are the same!
