Talk:Spinning dancer

The trick

The illusion is in her legs, more specifically her knees. If you stare at the dancer's chest or head the illusion becomes much harder to see (change direction). When the dancer brings her leg in front of the other, it's impossible to tell whether shes facing you or facing away from you (since you can't see her breasts - and the image is completely black). One way to make the dancer change direction is to deliberately blink when her leg comes in front of the other, and imagine she is turned away from you. With a bit of practice you can make her turn back and forth. Hope this info helps.

clockwise, or anti-clockwise?

No matter how hard I look at it, it is obviously spinning clockwise. Dengero (talk) 00:34, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
