- explorer1972, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16The Dragon Illusion is my favorite version of this because not only do you get tricked by the depth perception, but you also get a very creepy feeling that the dragon is turning its head to look at you. Check it out - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIZcl8q0u4Q
Plus you can do this at home. Go to this page with the explanation and follow the download link to print out and make your own dragon. http://www.grand-illusions.com/opticalillusions/dragon_illusion/ - khandy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiAyQ-p9HrQ&NR=1

"who gives a ***** about that thing who is albert ionstine n e ways!" - COLDshiver, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9Holy crap, i watched the first few times and it did look hallow but on the third turn it came up! crazy!
- HydroSliders, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Reminds me of the dragon papers, or of the eyes that follow on the Haunted House ride as Disneyland.
- Burner, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Yeah, I gotta say I was pretty disappointed with the Haunted Mansion after I went to Disneyland again when I was 17. It really spoiled all of the mystery.
- sirgolf82, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Same thing in the lower lobby of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland.
- mu0p, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3just what i was about to post.
but yea, same exact thing, finally someone explained it to me though, everytime i was a kid, people just said "Its haunted"
then i give them this look -_- - RanIntoTheDevil, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Wow, I wonder why it took me so long to see what I was supposed to. Now I can't go back to seeing it as it is!
- cyphin6, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Amazing how the human mind has a king of firmware that just can't be overwritten even when you know it to not be true, twisted stuff.
- simonwalton, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1The dragon is indeed incredible - really easy to cut out and assemble too. I would warn however that I've had to bin mine because it made me dizzy whenever I caught sight of it. I think your depth perception and eye focus don't like being screwed with.
- dbug, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Wow, you must be special!
- Sornos, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I made one a while ago. It's fantastic. It's currently sitting on my printer.
- Radionesiac, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1stand back from the screen and blur your eyes if you're having trouble seeing it hollow. it kills the illusion and gives it perspective.
awesome video. - BlackOp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1That's from grand-illusions.com. They have tons more videos like that.
- Silthrim, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Whoa.. thats screwed up!
- thesergie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0this may be the twentieth time i see this on digg. nevertheless, it's pretty neat.
- DEADGAME, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0wtf says it all
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1after the third go round my mind finally saw it as hollow. it takes a while to adjust though. this is weird.
- digg5, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Anybody have a higher resolution link?
- IheartZombies, on 10/10/2007, -3/+3looked hollow to me.
- dodoman90, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1If you concentrate really hard you can see it not as an illusion, at least I can :P
- xtmno3, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1The lighting setup on this video made it fail for me, the shadows are a dead seller.
- per1213, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0that mask is rigged!
- theblt, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Dugg for description.
"good way to ***** your eyes up" - holygram, on 10/10/2007, -5/+4BURIED FOR ANTI-SEMITISM.
I kid, I kid. - holygram, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2haha...from the youtube comments:
"This is what life is like." - hils, on 10/10/2007, -4/+0I saw it. I don't care. It was boring.
