Yea for Solve says! this was in an old scientific american magazine. The article said it could be done using paper money (It is illegal) by taking thin sections and putting them together to make an extra bill, but all of the bills will be shorter than the original bills. fractionizing!

the 6th person from the left appears and dissappears. How it works is that every person gets a little bit shorter on the change. In the image with 13 people, every other person as contributed 1/12th of the height of the appearing 13th person.

I’m 10 and I know how this works!!They take 1 one hundreth of each person; a little bit of one guy’s feet, a litle bit of a dudes head,and when you add all of those parts together, kaboom a new guy!Thats why when the 13th person is added some of the people are mising some parts of their bodies,like on guys missing part of his head and another guy is missing part of a shoe!!:)

I still don’t see how it’s done. I thought the animation was playing games or doing something secretly behind the scenes. I printed this and cut the paper exactly how it’s split on the screen. It works on printed paper just the same! Try it!

Okay guys. The answer is that when it changes the feet of one of the people are used as a head. Its complicated. But just look.

Yeah, there is one that moves (Hole Body) instead of part of the body in that way makes you think all have just parts of the body moving when really the full body of the male is moving, 10th & 6th person on each if you count like upwards & then redo it upwards, 10th & 6th. Making him move & then there is only 12 but makes you see 13 with the body parts.
5Mins to figure out.

it isn’t any of that, see the tallest person watch where he was both times around, in one he disappears it is because the two top halves are not the same I’m guessing its a trick of the brain when you see an illusion with two pictures in one if you see one picture it’s hard to see it differently like a box in front of a bigger one or it a box cut out of another, I have been able to see both twice in a couple of seconds once you figure that out its fairly easy to see.

very cool. but if you watch the slide action they dont move all the way over and match up the 5 on the right with the 5 on the left. it stops short. so the guy all the way on the left doesnt get his hair, and the guy whose whole body but his feet on the top lands in the empty space. it seems like you could do this with everybody mirror imaged except those two. but that would probably make it easier to spot the trick so they made everybody a little off. i watch this for like 20 minutes though haha.
