I find this very cool! I wonder who figured it out? - zone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3thats reeeeeally old, but i think not many ppl know about this one. i build my own once.. here, i found it: http://www.pontomidia.com.br/ricardo/greatweb/gathering_for_gardner_paper_dragon.html
- kinkysexradio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Some say, "old." I say, "classic".
It was awesome then, it's awesome now.
+digg, yeah, it's old. - wotcher, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Who cares if it's old? Get the hell over yourselves, *****. Bitch and moan to your mommies, not to people who don't ***** care.
On a lighter note: Yes, that's awesome. I made one a little while ago and freaked my parents and friends out with it. The video doesn't work for me very much anymore because I know what it really looks like, but the one I actually made wasn't affected by me knowing how it works. - drshabazz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2STOP complaining that things are old. I've never seen it, and chances are the majority have never seen it, so click on the next freakin story if you know what it's going to link to instead of trying to sound like an elite internet web scourer.
- Misanthrope, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The very first post mentions that this is old. So does that make all of the "OLD! NO DIGG!!!!" comments dupes??
I think it does...your comments are SO ***** OLD!!!!! And they're NOT NEWS!!! - matt4u, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2This is cool!!! Almost like this Brooke Burke w/ Burger King:
http://videoblogdemo.kolablog.com/ - roastedbagel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1to all the people saying "omg wtf its old!!11!!! and DUPE" big ***** deal, get over it. Most of us had not seen it, maybe because we dont scour digg 24/7 or for that fact, scour the internet 24/7 like you jobless-sit in mommies basement all day-acne filled hardcore computer nazis. It made it to the front page FOR A REASON *****. You people must have been the same nerds who were safety patrols back in elementary school....have a nice life
- drshabazz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1exoendo, you are truly an idiot - i think you really feel pleasure for being a "true digger" aka "I've seen every story on digg because I obviously have no professional or social life".
I guess you deserve applause? - jacinto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Has anybody ever been to the Haunted house in Disneyland. They have the same type of things.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lol I have had one on top of my monitor for ages as well.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i downloaded the diagram and put the dragon together last year and it was more impressive on video than what i built. still cool though.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1It's not a new article, nor a new illusion.

http://deathball.net/notpron/ - diggplusplus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I've had one guarding my cubicle for a while now. Anyone tries to "borrow" my scissors... he's got his eye on 'em.
- Mojave, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Disneyland has had that effect for over 30 years.
- SurePete, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2google video link = no digg.

- headphonist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yea I've seen this before, made one myself and keep around my work desk all the time.
- Double-Z, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I've had a large one of these on my desk for a very long time. It's quite superb.
- rusty_g, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0we need a google video section for just this type of submission...
- ndm007, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0:[ i dont get it. Am i retarded?
- lavawalker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It totally fooled me. Now when I see the video from the beginning again knowing how it works, it's noticable. Crazy, though.
- tek1024, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I'd just like to point out that "cielerella" (first comment this post) exhibits a fine example of how to say "This is old, and I'm not digging it for that reason" without coming off like a completely overreactive jerk.
- spacebar14, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow -- that's awesome.
My dad has a lamp on his computer desk that is an egyptian lady or something. It's made out of stone/glass/pottery or something. When you look at it, the eyes follow you. Its pretty cool as well!
:) - zone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0oh I think I saw it first here.. http://www.grand-illusions.com/ (cool stuff back then)
- redalert, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1so old, but still cool
- cielerella, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I loved it when I saw it a long time ago. No digg since it's so old, but still, it's cool.
- TWiTarmy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1dude.
- exoendo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"I guess you deserve applause?"

- Choppy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very nice, I'm gonna try to make. I'll probably forget about this in rhe next 10 minutes though... xD
- Fitzavig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yea, it's old, but that doesn't make it any less cool. I dugg it anyways. If I haven't seen it, it's new to me.
- besouza, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I tried making one of these a while ago and it didn't work. Damn dragon...

- WolfwoodX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0there is a house artpiece in Washington DC that uses this effect
- exoendo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"It made it to the front page FOR A REASON *****. "
and there is a report feature for every story - FOR A REASON!
idiot. - Skrolnik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The ones at Haunted Mansion in the various Disney parks are actually shallower than a regular face, to allow the illusion to be viewed from a wider angle.
- theonlybigboss, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I think that all of you who ***** repoted this should all do society a favor and ***** kill yourselfs
just because you have seen this a year or to ago, doesn't meen that everyone under the ***** sun has. go ***** yourselfs - zone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"It made it to the front page FOR A REASON *****."
