the gif didnt ruin it for me.
I remember there was a trick like this in one of my fave childhood books. Something with a fox and disappearing rabbit. cant seem to find it.

I've read about this. I heard that in a certain percentage of people, it makes you go blind by the end of the day.

(It should probably be noted, that I suffer from severe hemeralopia)- You have a gay eye?TheBlueOne

It disappears for me at about 6 or 7 inches from the screen..freaky, right?

Close your left eye and stare at the cross mark in the diagram with your right eye. Off to the right you should be able to see the spot. Don't LOOK at it; just notice that it is there off to the right (if its not, move farther away from the computer screen; you should be able to see the dot if you're a couple of feet away). Now slowly move toward the computer screen. Keep looking at the cross mark while you move. At a particular distance (probably a foot or so), the spot will disappear (it will reappear again if you move even closer). The spot disappears because it falls on the optic nerve head, the hole in the photoreceptor sheet.

I'm going to try standing one foot in front of and slightly to the right of people...and then stealing their wallet.

sry TBO for messing up your thread, pictures are worth more than the words I could express - "totally mind blowing" just doesn't give off the same affect as the gif does
- yeah, but no I keep looking at the animated gif, which throws off the illusionTheBlueOne
