WOW. Yah at first I was totally confused and I almost gave up. But what I did was when the doors came into view, I looked really deep into them, like I was focused on seeing what was inside of them instead of the other surroundings. Then the sphere turned concave and began “turning in the other direction.” Amazing. My favorite illusion on the site, no doubt.

to make the image look concave, attempt to look past it.

I don’t manage how to turn it concave and reverse spin . Any hint?

I found it very difficult to “see” the ball turning in the reverse direction, but I was able to do it after a while. Try focusing on looking deep into the rooms as the globe spins, that’s how I was best able to see it.

haha i didn’t understand it at first, for a minute i was thinking “this is crazy”, then it clicked :) it’s like looking at those cubes that just have 12 lines like the outline of a box, you can switch with your eyes which side is the front and which is the back, actually changing the direction the box is facing while doing so. amazing, my favorite illusion so far :)

It does take some time to see the reversing. I found it when looking at the back of the room. It was also when it was close up.

Cool. I had to focus hard to get to ‘spin the other way’ Kept losing it and getting it back. Really made it easy once he panned in.

The illusion is much easier to see when you are looking at an actual Termessphere, and some seem to work better than others.

Dick is an incredible artist and the perspective systems Termes uses are truly mind boggling.

I got it to look like the picture is on the inside etc, but it does’nt seem to change direction. It still looks pretty cool, though!

Fantastic! :) This really reminds me of the Spinning Man & Spinning Girl illusions with regards to the apparent change in direction, although in this one I have to 'create' the illusion in my mind to see it. With the Spinning Man & Girl, the direction changes whether I want it to or not and so far there ain't nothing I can do about it! I love them! Keep 'em coming! :) Peace x
