Frans-Jan Wind sends beautiful, yet scary illusion of a city. Wait for the image to load (or open it full size), and you will feel like flying through a city! Just like Christopher Walken did in his very own optical illusion. Be sure to check Scary Spider as well, but I warn you, those of you that suffer from arachnophobia or are submissive to seizures, shouldn’t watch these animations for too long :) Here’s Wind’s explanation: “I found this illusion on a very nice acid house and minimal techno site. (Don’t know about copyrights…) What I saw at first was not what was happening. For a moment I thought I went through the city instead of watching a loop…” For similar check: Stereo Dino, 3D Fireplace, Stereo Forrest, Tube Of Illusion…

WoW Acid!!
Great effect!! Thanks :)
This is so cool! It’s kind of easy to see how it’s made but It’s an awesome find! I love the widget for the site!
First???
Ah that is so cool! I love those loop things:)
Wow i am first.
Nice picture!
1st post!
interesting
Nauseating
nah i dont see the flying throuhg the city, but it is pretty cool to think youre moving a little,.
This is cool but it hurts your eyes after a while…
Odd, You really get that feeling… But this is one illusion that hurts my eyes!
these r probably my favorite kinds of illusions. 1st post!(maybe)
This picture actually does move.
cool is not as good as the spider 1 tho
First to post !! ><
very interesting effects…
wanderig creature
First! Yay yay!!!!
It’s cool, you think you’re getting closer to the building but your acctually not.
It’s great, but after a while, my head aches :D
Very awesome. It is good that there are some moving Illusions on this website, and in the Widget. This one makes you want to move your head closer and closer, and sort of draws you in. Hurts your eyes after a while of staring :P

WOW, aside from the fact i feel like im going to have a building thrown at me… it also makes me feel like im ganna have a seizure
Anyone notice that this looks like the skyline of Houston? I think I recognize the Wells Fargo Bank building.
Awesome!Did you notice the tall building to the right has a sort of “face” towards the bottom?
Yeah, that is definitely Houston, TX.
Awsome! I love it!
Why does everyone think they’re the first post? Cool illusion though.
Thats rubbish. It’s only flashing and moving closer to a building.
DUUUH
Its ok…. A bit obvious though lol
heh i was so fooled by this that the buildings actually look bigger to me now than when i started looking at them. that is, they dont seem to shrink subconsciously backwards every now and then like most of these things do.
… Er, I hope you understood that… I’m not sure I did…
All it is is black makes it go down and white goes up…. thats why its ‘moving’
A few frames inverted, zoomed and slightly rotated. Very coarse and unconvincing
nice one……… but i figured it out
it’s not zooming in
IT’S A NICE ONE
arachnaphobia is a fear of spiders, genius.
i just realized the 2 different colors
the white and black on is in one spot
the black and white is like 1/2 an inch away so it looks like its moving…
the spider one was much better..i didnt realize it on any of these kid of illusion until i saw this one
p.s white and black means more white
black and white means more black
sweet afect!!!
how did you get it to do that?!?!?!
whoa.
i like.
