Okay, this is the coolest optical illusion I've seen for a while. Basically it's an image of a dragon that literally moves as you move! I made one of these yesterday, and it really is a weird effect. One minute it's a funny little paper model, the next omigoditswatchingmehowthefrellcanitdothatwow!

Watch the video. It's all to do with folding, but you WILL be unnerved the first time you see it. Freaky stuff!

I can almost make it work but it's very slight, not at all like the vid. Bummer. I think it's because of my glasses.

I could swear I've seen those things in Spencer's before.
Still, it IS pretty cool!

I think it works better when you close one eye.

You really need to close one eye in order to defeat your depth perception.
Also helps to drink heavily beforehand... (Not essential, but why not, eh?) ;)
