That's really cool!!! It took a little while, but I got to the point where I would look at the girl herself and see her spinning counter-clockwise for a couple seconds. Very nice! :)
Okay, I've been a regular visitor of the site for several months now (and have the Mac widget), and this is one of the coolest illusions you've had.
It took me a solid minute to get the direction to switch to counter-clockwise, but once it did switch I learned I could switch it in my mind at will. I found that the key was to concentrate at the very moment when her one leg crosses over the other.

Fantastic! Took me about 2 mins but very impressive! thanks

This is cool, although I saw it spinning counterclockwise initially and had to teach my eye to spin it the other way.
My mind refused it at first, and told me it was animated to spin the other way. Now I can trick my mind into spinning it which ever way I like. At the moment, she's constantly jumping back to start with her back to us, facing away, with her leg always coming from the back to front (spinning clockwise from back to front, then instantly jumping with her leg furthest away again, spinning anti-clockwise from back to front)!

First post? I can only see it spinning counter clockwise. Even in the thumbnail on iGoogle, it spun counter clockwise.
Took about 30 secs, if you cover the body with paper, the head starts apinning anticlockwise after about five secs. I love this sort of change in viewpoint, it's like viewing pictures of cubes which can either be pointing towards or away from you. (it also works on transparant objects, such as drinking glasses.)
with the red dots attached at the top for easier versions of this, i could see them spinning in either direction or just flashing, each rectangle alternating between red and white without looking in the middle, I don't know if thats me or the illusion.

I like. At first i could only see the anti-clockwise movement, but then if u focud on the bottom right with th shadow hidden, the picture goes clockwise. COOL
The best way to see the shadow spinning anti clockwise is to cover the woman with your hand. It took me ages to see it, but eventually i did. Excellent.

Well honestly I've always seen her spin counter-clockwise... :-|
that is crazy! the amazing thing is you think it cant appear to rotate the other way because of the way her front leg and face are pointing as if you know when the extended leg is infront or behind of her body, but it changes too (if you get me). great optical illusion! took about 20 seconds to change direction
Its not an illusion. After staring at this image for a few minutes, she changes direction from clockwise to counter-clockwise on her own. When she goes counter-clockwise, shes standing on her right foot. She then makes a quick change to her left foot, and goes clockwise.
Hi! Really great! At first sight I did'nt see the illusion but when I put my hand on the silhouet and just looked at the shadow I saw it after a time! Really great! (yeah I'm first :p)
Anonymous
Not much of an illusion really. The direction of spin is changed partway through the animation.
You can tell by keeping an eye on the position of her outstretched hand in relation to her chest (!?).
Initially, her boobs are facing you when her outstretched hand is to the right. Then, after a few seconds her back is facing you when her outstretched hand is on the right.

Amazing,I never take the time to comment but this one was worth it,I was staring at it for 10 minutes and making it spin back and forth,really cool.
That's Hot in more then one way. Yeah! I found that if you trace the shadow of the raised leg in the direction you want to see her spin it helps make it happen. Very nice.
Neat-Nit
Also try so scroll up and down, it could be just me but it looks sharper. you know like lamer, made of stripes...
Graybaka
That took me a second but WOW that's cool!

thats not an illusion she des som spins goes to her rite or left when you cant see1 of her leg she spins the ofer way
AHHHHHHHHH! omigosh that's scary! she just switched directions!
Love the site. BTW, do you have ESP? because two things i really love are optical illusions and magic tricks. how did you know?
Anonymous
I saw it going Anti-Clockwise first... then i saw it clockwise for a few seconds and looked away... :( the trick is to look away from it quickly and you usually catch it in the right place to see it going a different way
super cool! I too had a hard time seeing it a first but I held up two fingers between me and the right side of the spinning girl - pointing at the girl to see the spin change and then held switched to pointing two fingers at her from the other side to see it change back. I think my fingers were enough of a side distraction to get to me look to one side to catch the illusion. Funny thing - while this comment box is open, it's covering everything but one of her arms and half a leg swinging around and they look like they are spinning in opposite directions! funny :)
Anonymous
its because since its a shadow you cant see which leg is passing over and which under. so if you look right, it'll look like its spinning in the opposite direction without watching shadow.
Anonymous
this is a fake, the animation change...
Anonymous
Have to say, Been comming to this site for a while now, and this is the best, at first could not see what you where talking about and then look again, she was going the other direction, took me even longer to get her to go back in the original direction. two thumbs up from me.
ariella
woah baby. that's pretty cool
Anonymous
it took me like 10 minutes but i got it. its really easy now, you just look away and imagine her looking clockwise then look again and she is doing that, do the same for counterclockwise
Anonymous
THIS ISNT AN ILLUSION.
As someone else said. If you watch long enough you'll see the animation blatantly just change direction. And yeah, sometimes her outstretched arm is on the left when her back is facing us and sometimes its on the right.
Whoa!! I've been looking at this tooo long!!! I see her spinning both ways and now I can't tell which way she was suppose to be spinning. WAY COOL!
Anonymous
I saw her counterclockwise first. I think the easiest way to make her switch is to blink at her really fast for a couple of seconds. Sounds goofy but seems to work.
Anonymous
whoa now i can only see it clockwise... i try to see it counter-clockwise, but it doesnt work
This is a badass illusion, and it's actually real. I wasn't sure at first so I opened the GIF in ImageReady and looked at the individual frames. There's thirty frames, just enough to make a complete rotation then the animation repeats after that. This is not fake.
Ok, that is really awesome. At first, I was like WTF ... he's nuts. This chickie is spinning ONE WAY ONLY! Then ... while I was looking at something off to the side of the page, she switched! Thanks ... I truly enjoyed that!
Anonymous
I can't get it, I'd tried staring at her legs for a minute and I couldn't get my mind to make the switch. I tried doing the same thing except sated at her feet the second time and still didn't see her switch. She keeps turning clockwise in my mind... D=
And to "ermergingmatt", "Ampara" and the other doubters - the animation does not change directions, it is an optical illusion. If you don't believe me, open up the GIF in a graphics editor and have a look, it is the one sequence of images (34 to be exact) cycling continuously. The illusion works because of the lack of depth cues - you can't tell whether she facing towards you or away, so your brain "picks" one direction and interprets the rest of the images appropriately.
Cool trick: open teh image in2 browser windows and have her cycle in both directions at once. Then, try to get them *both* to change directions. For added challenge, at the same time. Note: I haven't succeeded with the simultaneous switch yet, but it's fun to try. :)

It took about 30 seconds to see her going counter-clockwise and now I can't get back to seeing her going clockwise anymore. freaky.

This is so frustrating, i can only see it spinning counter clockwise, I can't make it spin any other way! Whats wrong with me?!
Anonymous
Sorry I couldn't pry my eyes off the anatomically accurate nipples long enough to notice which direction the feet were going... I was mesmerized by this "illusion"! Great one!!
Anonymous
That is weird!!! My trick was I kept looking at her feet and suddenly she went counter clockwise!
dantheman
Umm, I JUST SEE IT COUNTER CLOCKWISE!! HELP! Can someone give me some tips. I can't imagine it going the other way!!
I got suspicious when I read Amparos comment. Then I asked my girlfriend to tell me which way the girl was spinning. Funny enough we disagreed quite a lot! At first I didn't even see the illusion. what crap. But then whup, she changed. It even looks as if her leg changes to. Wow I'm dizzy now...
Anonymous
thats cool . they way i did it is, i made my eyes blur slighly then it is hard to see any definition. she then flipped over so she is looking down not up ! then i focused again and she was back to normal. doesn't take long just look at it like you do with the magic eye illusions .
Her head also tilts to the side she's spinning to. Cool, but something wasn't right from the start :) Then I figured it out.
Anonymous
Ow come on, follow her legs, it's not an illusion! It's just how she moves. Once in a while she switches her direction, nothing special about that.
Good from the ones who could make her move with their own thoughts... respect. --------------------------------- Ow kom op, volg haar benen, het is geen illusie! Het is gewoon de manier waarop ze beweegt. Soms verandert ze haar richting, daar is niks bijzonders aan.
Goed van degene die haar konden laten bewegen met hun gedachtes... repect.
I feel so stupid.. my mind refuses to see her going counter-clockwise! It's so frustrating!

Wow, that is amazing.
For a long time I could only see her going counter-clockwise - I had to look just at the shadow of her foot to get it to go the other way.
Spectacular illusion.

Ick. Does she have to be naked for the illusion to work?

If you can't see it, concentrate on her leg for about ten seconds, then look at the bottom corner of you screen and quickly scroll down. Try it a couple of times.
Anonymous
Try covering one eye with a darkening filter (e.g., sun glasses), leaving the other eye uncovered. In a few seconds this with force one of the two directions -- clockwise if you cover your left eye, counterclockwise if you cover your right eye). For an added bonus, the silhouette becomes 3D.
This Pulfrich effect is due to a time lag experienced by darkened eye, which takes slightly longer to register the image.
Anonymous
I usually love your illusions, but I have to say there is something a bit creepy about this one. It almost feel Steven King-ish to me.

I don't see 'her' going clockwise
Anonymous
I only say her spinning counter-clockwise. I've stared at this for a while now and I can't see it any other way. She's obviously spinning backwards, her right leg is her center of spin, and her boobs moving from left to right give the whole thing away, shadow or not. I just don't see her going clockwise.
Anonymous
The .gif file can't just move by itself, because every time I try the illusion it happens at different times.
I managed to spot it just by following the leg, but its a nice one!
Really cool illusion! With some practice you can even make her change direction every turn so she looks like she's going back and forth
OMG - Yes! I can see her spinning in both directions, what a spinout man!!!!
Took me about 20 secs.
nice one
I can see the girl spinning clockwise, but the shadow also looks like it's spinning clockwise.
this was so much easier than the hidden tiger illusion
this is to cool to be treu!!!
i made her spin counterclockwise in 10 seconds - but now i cant make her spin clockwise again! hmppr :D
Nice one!
That's really cool!!! It took a little while, but I got to the point where I would look at the girl herself and see her spinning counter-clockwise for a couple seconds. Very nice! :)

i dont see it going the other way
i see it one way and thats it
huh????????
Cool! That is amazing! First comment?
The animation changes!! It is not really an illusion
that is cool, am i the first to see it?
I don't believe this is an illusion really. I think it's just how the gif moves.
she also switch legs... that's really freak me out
Wow really cool! I didn't figure it out yet.
Sweet! First comment! I tried to see it but my brain isn't doin' it.
wooot 1st pots. anywwho, thats strange, i think i get u but i cant be sure.
great , it took me 5 seconds to see her spinning the the oppocite direction.
kepp up the good work!
Her nipples are hard.
this is really AMAZING!!
it took me awhile to make it turn counter-clockwise..but now I can't turn it back again!!
I wonder which direction is supposed to be the right one..
Holy Cow!! Took less than a minute. Not bad considering I did't believe it could be. (and it took me over fifteen minutes to find the hidden tiger)
at first i din't get it but now i do and wth! :|
first comment?? Newayz, It's not that brilliantly cool... as an ilusion, but I still looks pretty damn coolio!
I realy don't see/get this illusion.
any one else?
i can only see it goin clockwise...... no matter wat i do
best illustion i've seen in a long time!

A spinning girl? She's not spinning at all!
I got so confused, but then i figured it out
I first looked and noticed that she is spinning clockwise, I looked at the shadow and noticed that something was messed up. Iwas like WTF.
