moillusions.com — If you look at the spinning girl's silhouette below, you will think it is spinning clockwise, probably. When you check her shadow below, momentarily the spinning direction changes in your mind, and now the girl is spinning counter-clockwise.

This worked for me very well.

This is BS, the animation has her spinning both ways and seemlessly transitions from one to the other. I know optical illusions can screw with your head, but I know I see her going clockwise then counter-clockwise WITHOUT looking at her reflection.

I only see her going clockwise.

try to imagine her playing with a basketball in her hand and shes switching the ball hand to hand and moving the ball behind her back like a star player and you'll see it change directions pretty quickly

The spinning reverses direction at some interval in the animation. It isn't an optical illusion, it is a trick.

s**t, I can see it both ways now. after you finish convincing yourself she's spinning clockwise, look at her shadow and imagine it going counterclockwise. You can see it more easily that way.
