1. I wonder how someone hit on that design for the illusion.
How did they know those colors and those shapes would have that effect? Trial and error? Focus groups, so to speak?

3. Someone posted this ...
about a month ago - perhaps SOCalDem.

It has been on my desktop ever since. The image I have only has 6 circles, and it was obviously scanned from a larger set of them. Looks like you have the original.

If you focus on a circle, it stops spinning, but all the others in your peripheral vision will spin.

Cheers
Drifter

6. Can anyone make "Magic Eye" pictures?
You could come up with some real doozies with Shrub as a subject.

7. Another easily done optical effect
Take anything with a blue background and red dots/squares/whatever sprinkled around on it.

Shake it in front of you. Unnerving to my eyes. Anybody else?
