A REAL Optical Illusion

This is an illusion that has been around for a while, but never ceases to fascinate. Relax and concentrate on the four small dots in the middle of the picture for about 30 to 40 seconds. Then take a look at a wall near you, or any smooth, single colored surface. You will see a circle of light form. Blink your eyes a couple of times and a figure will begin to emerge.

What do you see?

Done this one in the style of "Bob The Crate" a few months ago on an email. Laserprint it out and you will see they are the same.

Had a mate of mine who was ex-Cambridge, very intelligent in finance, convinced they were different until I made him print it out AND cut out the squares individually.

Man, he was quiet after that!!!

Well done Chico, I guess that proves the existence of HyperD's gardener.

I like the one with the revolving circles, does anyone have a link to that.

You mean this one where you rock your head back and forth?

Or here where there's a whole variety.

That's the one! Had a copy a while back. An absolute corker, it even works if you print it out. (Especially vomit inducing when set as wallpaper.)

Thats the one thanks. Had that printed out and pinned behind my desk for ages (multiple copies) used to send people daft when they came to talk to me.

And before you start....it was the picture that sent them daft.
