Another popular one – and quite unnerving if you’ve never seen it before… Close your left and eye and just focus your right eye on the tiny cross. At some point the big circle will disappear as it crosses your ‘blind spot’. If you can’t see this effect, then try sitting closer/further from the screen.

it won’t work… :’(
didn’t work for me … i have a 180 degrees vision – left and right, 90 degrees vision – up and down ..
sorry
I don’t have a blind spot with either eye
i don’t have a blind spot
i cansee it when my eyes closer to the monitor
so not working i have no blind spot at all
umm i tried but it just doesn’t work for me..
The real illusion here is that there is an extra word in the description. It’s one of those end of line tricks!
probably because it’s your domenent eye
lol… i did the oppisite.. i looked at the moving thing and the cross disapeared.. i think its a better effect
the thing is i don't have a blind spot it is prettey weird. In school we were doing the same thing and still i dont have a blind spot. My teachers had to move the paper for me and still couldnt see it.
XOXOX(ILY)XOXOX <3
WOAH!every time the circle goes to the end i cant see it; so i coverd my right eye and followed the big circle/kept my eye at the right end and saw my blind spot!
No blind spot. O.o For some reason, every test I try for it gives my no results. I have no blind spot!
whoa thats awesome
near the left end
no matter how close or far away i get im not getting my blind spot
guys if it doesn’t work get closer to the screen it’s written in the description if it doesn’t work your too far from the screen…the big circle doesn’t reach your blind spot so just get closer to the screen.
lol thats tight, worked for me when i got closer to the screen lol
Aha! Saw a version of this one in “Stumbling on Happiness” when I read it for my health psychology class. Love this trick! ^^ Wigs a lot of people out… you shoulda seen my class when I showed it to them.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THAT’S REALLY SCARY!”
the only time i notice my blind spot is sometimes im reading and i cant see the words and irritates me. MY BLIND SPOT DOES NOT WORK ITS MAGIC WITH THIS CRAP
thats creepy
Ha that scared me :)
… Ah… Ugh that really freaked me out the first time :O
LOL! Didn’t disappear for me I can still see it.
same here….. i can still see it, even from 5-6 ft away….
OMG!!!Thats so creepy!!I had to lean away from the computer
I’ve done this before and its still scary!
scaaaaaary, i had to lean in a lot to get it though
woah it did! btw, all of us have a blind spot in both our eyes
How was it scary?
I read the comments first then some people said it was scary, so i didn’t do the test.
Its not that scary just strange! give it a try!
will i did not see that the ball was gone and the pplz daat saw iit yyaaa probelY lian… cause i did NOT see nothiin at ALL….. yaaa losers..
it didn’t work for me too
It’s no lie. Everyon has a blind spot in either eye. The backs of your eyes are covered in light-receptor cells, save for a small spot just off of the center. This is where the optic nerve connects to your eyes, and there are no light-receptors on that spot.
:3
TRy watching the Moving ball with your left eye, the little one, guess what happens.
im like 11 years old,still new to this site and all i gotta say is WHAT THE FUC_
i still see the big circle…
Look like my eye dont have blind spot LOL
everyone has a blind spot
if u didnt it would be because your optic nerve doesnt connect to your eye, which would make you blind
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgh im blind :D wieeeeeeeeeerrrrrddd
I closed my right eye, looked at the big moving dot and then the cross disappeared.
didn’t work for me. after a few minutes i felt like an idiot moving closer then then farther away from the screen staring at this stupid dot.
it didnt disappear for me.. i guess i dont have a blind spot LOL
thats weirddddddd
it doesnt completely dissapear (did i spell that right) it just turns a greyish colour
it doesn’t disappear? even when i take off my glasses, lol.
Holy Shit this is no lie . i looked the cross with my right eye then i opened my left eye and looked at the moving ball and the cross disappeared .
NOT scary! but it didn’t work for the BIG one…. i did what they told me to do and the small one dissapeared instead…
it never disapeared on my left eye lol
i dont think i even have a blind spot… i cant see it even if i keep moving forward and backward it still doesnt work
um i wanna go to the eye docter and get these blindspots removed lol …but i can’t :’(
Very cool. Had to sit closer to the screen! My blind spot is right at the corner of my eye’)
amazing…
crap…how long do i have to look….na’n hapnd 4 me..
IT BURNS BOTH OF MY EYES! i dont see how its scary, when i cant even see MY blind spot. SAY! i’m half blind, so i think thats why it dont work :(
ahhhhhhhhhh…. I don’t get it! its not working….

o(“)(“)
That is sooooooo awesome!!!
It funny cause I have blind spot halfway through but then it goes through it and then I see it at the end also…agh!
To be honest it didn’t do anything for me either. I tried from far and near as well as both eyes, but it never disappeared to me. I think it may possibility blink lightening quick at the farthest point from the x… but I don’t know.
it didn’t. work for me iether. But my son and my husband said it really dissapeared. weird!
lol! im crosseyed so i can do it with both eyes open. its pretty darn awesome aint it!?
it didnt dissapear for me!
i move like 3 metres away from the laptop and then went as close as 5 cms away from it but still the big dot didnt disspear
Honestly, I tried with both my eyes,and it won’t work with me. So, I give up.
i saw it, i saw it, i saw it, i saw it, i saw it, i saw it, i saw it, i saw it, i saw it, i saw it,
haha thats funny it dissapers and then it comes back
I was eating pizza so only the 1/4 of the circle disapeared
I do not get it
oookay…it disappeared…but it doesn’t seem scary to me.
dude thats freaky
close your right eye and focus on the moving dot the cross will disappear when the dots all the way to the right
D:
scary…very VERY scary…
It just fogs up for me..
that was amazing!
at first it didnt work but then i leaned closer and then it dissapered!!
amazing!! (:
if it doesnt work for you, youre doing something wrong
I had to get about 8 inches from the screen.
when i looked away from the screen and looked back again everything on he screen was blury but the big dot didnt disapear!!! O_O wtf
Welll…. 5 inches from the screen or 10ft from the screen.. I apparently have no ‘blind spot’ because I can see the moving dot the entire time with my left and right eye. Advanced Peripheral vision FTW.
Just focus on the cross so you only see the dot in your peripheral vision. It is physically impossible to not have a blind spot because it is caused by your optic nerve.
you have to hold your face about 6 inches away from the screen.
First of all you are to close your left eye.
Close your left and eye and just focus your right eye on the tiny cross. I found my blind spot by accident one time. I asked my eye Dr about it and he said everyone has a blind spot, that I just happened to find mine.
