Don’t worry about her switching directions. Just watch her leg in the air. It’s amazing. One minute her left leg (and arm) are lifted in the air and then her right leg (and arm) are lifted. That’s when you perceive that she’s going in the opposite direction. I’ve stared at it continuously trying to find the exact moment when she switches legs but can’t figure it out. This is awesome!!

For me, there’s no illusion. Just click the ‘ESC key’ and It will surely stop spinning.

Wow that is amazing! I saw it switch from clockwise to counterclockwise pretty quick. It’s the way her leg and arms are sticking out I think. Wow good illusion!

It definitely can be seen both ways and is definitely not a trick. I have a gif version of the slides where I can manually go from each sequence on my own. Sometimes it spends left and sometimes it spins right. Another weird thing is I have it shown on two monitors and sometimes both goes cw, or both goes Ccw and sometimes they both go in opposite direction. So I wonder if we have this set up in like a 4×4 grid(16 images) will everyone see them all go same direction, or will it be a mix? I guess it depends on how some people’s brain are wired.

This is one of the best illusions ever. Thanks!

Also wanted to mention that you left the ‘l’ out of the word ’silhouette’ in the title.
