Cool and original this website has it all

sorry i ain't commented on all the other illusions but i've been in Ocala, Florida at a Horse Fesevial thing it was prettty cool

i dont get it. will someone explain why this picture is deceiving?

It doesn't do anything for me.

Worked for me! Click on the photo to pull it up in another window. It doesn't change to B&W on this site. You need to pull it up in another window and it will change.

you have to click on the pic to see it, its not really an illusion because its a gif

i don't like this. some are cool, and this one isn't. when you click the image to enlarge it, it automatically switches so that you can "see the magic from black to white" its shortlived and not as neat as my favorite illusions, which are those of the chalk drawings. those are amazing. get some more of those...and i have seen some things lately of like giant fountain shows where you see images in these giant shows.

Also, a good audio illusioin is the works of Toxic Audio. They do some crazy stuff. its all done ac capella and it sounds like a full fledge band. its amazing. ^^ i still come here everyday! its a good site. very well organized too...

WOW!!! THAT IS SO FRIGGIN COOL!!!!

THAT IS SO TRIPPY, MAN!!!!!!

GREAT ILLUSION!!!!!!!

Awesomeness

i like this one :}

i was staring at it for like, a minute and a half, waiting for it to change, and i gave up. then read the comments, and felt pretty silly...


good job on this, keep up the good work :D

thanks anonymous post 4. It worked when i did it yur way. I agree, this is one of the best sites on the net

Cool illusion

haha the colour inverts when it goes black and white..hehe that is so cool

I agree with Fizzwizzle. It's an animated gif image.

don't be fooled. my girlfriend and i were looking at the pic at the same time. it switched back and forth for us at the same time. some people just can't keep it real.

Wow! Thats really crazy and cool!

Wow, this is amazing. At first I thought my computer monitor was the cause for the change. Is this available in a wall poster?

For those that don't it's not an illusion....

The point is that the second frame of the animated GIF is greyscale only, but the colour of the first frame causes your eye to see the second one in correct colour.

The linked spanish castle one is a lot clearer

> its not really an illusion because its a gif

It's an animated GIF for sure, but the illusion is that the second image is actually black and white. However, if you've been staring at the dot for a while then this black and white image seems to be a color image. Try! And indeed: one should also look at the two alternating GIFs without staring at the dot, to see what the second image really looks like.

Hi! This is not a proper illusion, it just turn to b&w indipendently of your sight. Though, you usually post terrific illusion!!

Thank you, anonymous and fizzwizzle, for explaining that you have to open it in a new window.

ha ha very funny. it would be nice if the comments could just give advice as to how the illusion works and not spoil it buy telling the end product just cos you have no sense of humour(anonymous 6)

Yeah, this is what i am thinking about illusions.
--> Indeed, you have to click the image

Don't you feel sometimes, when you stare a well illuminated picture, on the beach for example, and then suddenly close your eyes, that you still see something like the negative of the picture floating in the dark of your eyes, until it vanishes? I think it is the base of the illusion, better done in Spanish Castle illusion, where you first see a negative, that will turn out positive in your eyes after a while, and then mix with the b/w image, painting it with the phantom but real color image of your retina... Isn't it?
But why does eye or brain invert colors this way?
Grrrrrrreat illusion!

This is a animated GIF which is just switching between two pictures. Sort of disappointing that it would included in this web site. Usually the images are more interesting.

thats pretty cool...
but i think it needs more time to melt in ur brain.
Example: The B&W pic isn't as colerful as the spanish castle. i love this type of illusion, however, the pic needs to be more colerful, so that the overall trick is more clear.
thanks.

this was a bad illusion?>< i usually like this site...but not today




first comment©

It's a fake illusion. It has nothing to do with any optical trick. Whether you stare at the dot or not, the gif image is programmed to change to black and white after a while.
They got you, man. :-)

Maybe some do not understand this illusion completely. First, like others have mentioned, you must open the "picture" in a different window. The image will be in color, but will switch to a black and white image after a few seconds. After this happens, you can still see the rainbow in color. Basically, you are able to see color in a black and white photo. Pretty neat.

that's so cool!! I love your site!!

thats rubbish its not an illusion at all

I stared at one single pebble once, I got the same effect.

Sorry for not having trusted you! Beautifull illusion. Sorry! (the 8th post's anonymus)

I enjoy this kind of illusion :)
By the way, Vurdiak, I already have a link to your site on my blog, I hope I'm bringing some people here :)

omg this is amazing!!!

u guys have to click on the illusion to get the effect, tho... try it!

That is such an awesome illusion! You look at it and it's just like...POP! Then it's color. Now that's a REAL illusion.

The CPU screen is too bright, I don't get how anybody can see it. It hurts my eyes to stare, I like whining.

Hey, this is a awesome sight by the way! I'll put a link to your website on mine if that's okay!

About THIS illusion, it is good, try this: Stare at it until the image turns to black and white. The rainbow will be in colour. THEN blink and the rainbow will be in black and white!!! Have fun

AAA thats scary and asom at the same time! O_o

wow, so kl! my brother would appreciate this one - he wants to work in film buisness so likes effective photos - so i will tell him ...

the affect is amazing. i wonder how they get the blak and white photo to look like normal day colour! its as kl as the most recent illusion - the 'Widget Problem Solved' one.
wonderful...

This illusion is a fake..it's a gif animation not an illusion it's animated to change colour every few seconds

yes, anonymous number 40, but dont u get the effect that wen it changes bak to blak and white, the trees look green and the sky looks blue and it all looks in colour?

It looks like this Rainbow Illusion came from here:

http://www.stareclips.com

There are others like it.

this is rubbish it dosent change the picture changes its not an illusion at all

This is cool.

The first picture is negative an when you stare at the dot and it is in b&w if you keep looking at the dot it will look normal.

not that bad

its a stupid gif file. its not an illusion.

i dont get the illusion. dude yr illusions are starting to stink now. no offense or anything.

HUH!!!!!!!!!

ok!

the rainbow disappeared
