Sometimes we need few old school illusions to lift the spirit of our community. I noticed some of you like real-life ones better, and some acknowledge only hard core old school illusions as true ones. Which ones should I concentrate more on? Since I’m not really sure which ones you prefer, I’m posting them mixed.

If you remember the famous Eclipse of Mars illusion, the one that gave you opportunity to experience whole new color you’ve never seen before, you will like this one as well. Concentrate on the center dot for a minute or two, and you’ll experience an interesting effect. I would like to ask you how many different colors you see in the animation below? Probably your answer is 3 (or 4 if you count the white circle). In reality the “purple-ish” circle in the middle is the same color as the rotating wings. Don’t believe me? Fine, but now concentrate on one of the rotating wings, and you’ll notice how the color matches inner circle perfectly! Enjoy and share this if possible.

    I looked at the illusion before I read your thing, and I just want to say that I never thought for a moment that the “figure” in the middle has any more than one color. My eyes still can’t see it as two, having since read what you wrote.

    OH my god, real neat effect. At first I only saw like the purply color of the circle, but after I saw the Eclipse of Mars I saw the green surrounding the square.

    Really nice.

    I looked at one of the spinning arm thingys for a while but it didn’t change colour :S

    Sweet. If you stare for even longer after the purple circle appears, the “wings” go green. At least…they did for me!

    Vurdluk, I think you have the balance of old and new school illusions about right.

    I dont know about anyone else, but I did this twice, the first time, I saw 5 colors, and the second time I counted 7 lol

  25. HHHhhh says:

    i thought that the circle is the same color as the wings and when i started looking at the white dot the circle became purple-ish. didn’t it have to be the opposite?
