Ever wondered how it feels like to hallucinate? Me too! It’s just that I never wanted to use any illegal substances, and nor should you. Meanwhile, I found this wonderful video clip, that let’s you experience real-life hallucination, without even moving away from your PC! This is what you have to do: Stare at the center of the video clip. After you jumped to it, keep your eyes still, and then look away when instructed. Simple as that! Previously I posted similar Pinwheel Illusion, so you might want to check it out if you like this kind of illusions. If you have another spare minute, be sure to check dozen of more interesting video optical illusions inside the “Videos Category“. Enjoy!

holy crap. how does that work!?
HUH??? I feel like I just wasted 1:39 of my life. I didn’t see anything at all.
the video is verry laggy (even when i downloaded it).
Is that on purpose?
Omni magazine printed a copy of this in the late 1970’s or early 1980’s. It had a hole in the center to put on a record turntable. As I recall, the illusion was very effective.
The video is too laggy, is there an animated gif of this illusion?
I didn’t see a “look away” instruction. I don’t get it.
hey – i didnt realize you could download these movies…. im downloading it now – ill make a gif of it later… this one is alot more effective then the “pinwheel” one.
amazing…. by the way.
Yeah, the vid is pretty bad. I can’t get a good effect. keep on working on that gif, Pouch.
you can see a different version of this illusion, that runs more smoothly, here. wait for it to load all the way before watching, and play it fullscreen.
wow very creepy!!!!
whoa my god thats amazing!
what do you see? I cant see it.
Thanks Bravery Onions, that version was much better. The effect only lasted a few seconds but it was wierd, is it supposed to last longer?
I’ll just stick to drugs.
Same Colored Checkers Illusion: You don’t need to check it in photo shop, simply cut two holes in a piece of paper and place it over the picture. Of course the holes have to be small and cut to fit the checkers so you can only see the central part of each. It’s now very clear that it IS the same color…
Doesn’t do anything…doesn’t tell me to look away from the black screen. Is there another video that works?
Oh nevermind, the other video version works, wow that’s cool!
i dont get how to do it.
i dont see where the look away insrtuction is.
where is it?..
-Cf
…only effect: sore eyes…thx…didnt have any affect that was either amazing or hallucinative
i was getting dizzy so i loked away ealeir and it didnt last long
That. Was. Amazing.
im probably drunk, without drinking! I am a 11 year old!
Did anyone notice that when you blink it kinda looks like it stops?
omgsh, that's amazing!!!! (:! Lol, i watched it over and over again and now i have a headache ><…worth it
oh my gosh!!!
that was awesome!!!
Okay Now my eyes are watery, and all i saw was a green and red flowwer thing….U know what? I dont know what i saw it only lasted 3 seconds!
How it works is easy!
You look into the middle and then when it tells you to look away, look at the wall or the floor and you will see it moving up and down!
Its sick, I seen this b4.
I’ve done drugs before, and I’ve had hallucinations, and although this effect is cool, that’s not what drug-induced hallucinations look like.
holy crap it worked but i think i am blind
When we look at a moving object for about 30 seconds our eyes tell our brain about the moving object. when we look away our brain is still thinking that this object is still there using the same principle as making yourself dizzy. the same illusion happens when you stare at a waterfall then look beside it and fell high and relax.
woah that sreally weird and it lasts for a while.
OMG IT DISORTED MY HAND! and my monitor
holy … son of God
i look at it for 1:30, someone time me, but no look away instruction so i look away everything fuzy. it awesome,
i tried it many times but it didn’t work, then i had a friend time me then try to stop moving my eyes, which is hard cuz i had coffee
oh wow, very nice! I felt all nice and wobbly for a minute there, lol.
ok so i was looking at this and then looking away and nothing was happening. Then i decided that i was bored of it and i clicked on the next illusion. Then i noticed the screen moving…
That was interesting. It was cool how my monitor was wiggling..
If you want to see something even cooler, stare at it and then look at your hand (any body part)
pretty cool, if you look at it for a really long time then look away everything is all wiggly and somewhat colorful.
