Hy guys! Just a quick update, I’m in a hurry for poker game back at my house, but also wanted to share this cool illusion with you, before I leave the office. But before we proceed, please reply if your Vista Gadget has been working normally today? I’m not sure if it’s only me getting some loading errors. In either case, get the new version (v7.0) just to make sure it works. In the picture below, watch how Peter from Family Guy as Incredible Hulk changes from black and white, to full-color. Here are the steps: Stare at the dot in the middle of the pic for 20 seconds or more. Continue to stare at the dot, without moving your eyes. The black and white image will seem to be in color now. Looks can be deceiving, right? More of these can be found inside the Afterimages category. Oh, I have received some complaints about “yourfilehost”, where we used to store our files, and have successfully fixed Audio illusions. If you find more outgoing links to “yourfilehost” on this site, please email me to remove them as well!

I think many ppl thinks that the optical illusion is if you stare at the pic long enough the picture will change colour from “pink and blue to “”black and white” but its rong … u have to stare at the dot in the middle and wait til it changes colour … and u will see a different set of colours ! :) awesome illusion i must say ..
I think most of you didn't get it…
The colors turn from black/white to pink. If you stare at the dot, the family guy (forgot his name) gets green (–> looks like Hulk) when the colors turn to b/w again… That's it.
Uhh to all the people complaining that it’s an animated gif and not an illusion… the gif is supposed to animate.
You stare at the dot while it is the coloured version of the image (pink version of Peter Griffin) and then when the gif switches to the black and white image, it appears in colour to your eyes if you continue looking at the dot. Look away from the dot and your eyes see the image as black and white.
Look the dot attentively.
then, when the pic become Blanck/White the strong guy wwill be Green.
But, he’s not.
funny
ok.. guys you do wrong.
Stare at the dot only when the image changes color to purple blue. The keep staring at the dot and the grey image will be colored.
This illusion is so cool. I luv it
It’s already in color, isn’t it? I don’t see any black and white. Peter’s chest and feet are pink. The floor is blue, etc. Is this what everyone sees after staring?
come on guys… nothing fake about this. First you look at the dot when the weird collour pictures is on. And when it switches to the black and white image, you see normal collours ! it’s easy.
Ok, for all people who say it is a fake: When you stare at the coloured picture (the pink hulk), you will see the hulk turn green when the pictures changes to b/w.
Very cool, although I have to keep staring at the dot, otherwise the picture changes to b/w again.
I hope that next postings won’t be fakes this year …
Listen, all the people who say it's a fake and always changing. The changing from the Black&White picture to the Pink&Blue picture is happening to be able to SEE the effect. If you stare at the dot (and really keep staring at it), while the picture is Pink&Blue, the picture will eventually change back to Black&White. But if you really stared at the dot you won't see a black and white picture, but you'll see a coloured image (with Peter in green for example).
For those of you who believe it to be fake, you are incorrect and are daft to think so.
The illusion works by staring at the “color” picture of the hulk — notice how he is purple. When the image flashes to black and white, your brain sees the inverse colors of those previously displayed, so we see color instead of black and white.
For all those who said this illusion is fake, the purple and brown isn’t the “color” that their talking about. its when it goes back to black and white tha it seems like a regular family guy picture
It's a great illusion.
For those of you who think its's 'fake' it's not. The idea is that you stare at the hole when it's a flourescent pink/blue/yellow colour, and when it changes to b&w, it seems as if its in its original colours
Great illusion though ;)
Focus on the dot while the image is colourful (pink peter). Intensely. When the image goes back to B&N, your eye produces the opposite color (red<–>green, etc) and you "see" the real image (green peter, as the hulk).
OK…so poster no. 6 has posted as follows:
pjotahh
this is friggin fake anyone can see that, jesus christ stop posting this junk and get to real illusions
oh first:D
a) You’re not first
b) It’s not ‘friggin fake’, for crying out loud. The illusion is that if you stare at the oddly-coloured dot for 20 seconds, when it changes to black and white it appears in full colour. Not a fake, at all
It’s not fake, if you watch it and look at the black and white image immediately after it swaps back it is not in colour (Sorry, I know that was badly phrased)
Hurray!!!!!!!!!!!!! 67th comment
WTF dude. im totally trippin' out. haha, luv it. <3 maybe one of the coolest illusions i've ever seen. :o
The point of this illusion (and it IS an illusion), is that when you focus on a black and white image, and it changes to the complete opposite colors of what it’s supposed to be, you’ll see the real colors when it switches back to black and white.
It’s like your brain fills in the black and white with the opposite colors… It’s really weird why you see the right colors.
Btw: it’s supposed to change from b/w to color, only when you focus you’ll see green/yellow and such instead of purple/blue…
To those that don’t get the illusion, go back and read the directions and follow them. By the time your are done, you should see Peter as grey, pink, then green. Other colors will change also.
As for the widget, mine works fine on the Vista desktop
Ok, so it seems like a few people aren’t understanding this illusion. Yes we all know it changes color… it is supposed to!
Stare at the dot in the center of the image DURING the colored phase. Stay focused on the dot for the 10 or 15 seconds, and when it changes the black and white image will appear properly colored.
Very cool illusion.
This illusion isn’t fake; wait for it to turn from the strange color to black and white, then stare at the dot (even after it changes to the strange color.) After the strange color goes away, you’ll see it in color, but you have to keep staring at the dot or else it goes away.
ok for all you people saying this doesn’t work. just stare at the dot in the center the whole time and the time it changes to color isnt the magic one. it’s after the picture is in the neon colors that the actual illusion takes place. If you stare at the dot the whole time and don’t stray then after the neon pic, the b+w will seem like color. If you stray then it will change back to black and white.
Hee, I like this kinda illusions, and I actually now how it works. When you don’t move your eyes while staring at colors, your eyes become ‘tired’ of that color at a certain spot in your eyes, on the retina. Eg, when you stare at the colour red, the detectors in your eyes of the colour red become tired. Now you can’t really see red on that spot in your eyes. The opposite colour of red is green, so when you then look at white (which has all colours in it) you’ll see green. In the illusion you see all the opposite colours of the right ones, and when you stare at them without moving your eyes, you’ll see all the right colours after that in the black and wite version.
Hope you get it…
incredibleeeeeee
incredibleeeee
wow about 2/3 of the posts are either
1) this is stupid it is changing colors!!
or 2) you people are stupid (and they explain it)
any way, Tsaukpaetra, if you go to paint you can highlight a pic and invert the colors, then you can go to attributes under the invert, and go black and white to make the second required part to make this illusion!
and over all nice illusion
SOOOOOOO COOL PUT MORE LIKE THOSE IM FROM MEXICO BUT IVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT ILL PASS THE WORD AND PICTURE
Cool ganglion cell rebound effect lol
hahah great illusion i completely get it after reading the many posts explaining.
does anyone find it strange that the first poster didn’t say “first! yay!” but then ppl up to like post #20 thought they were first? thought id just throw that out there.
Is there anyway that you could filter out retards that post the following crap.

oh first:D
These tards have nothing to add.
Nice illusion though.
awesome!
how the hell…???
Nice one!
wow obviously fake it changes colors when you r reading the post and i stared at the dot and it changed colors then i looked away and looked back and it was still in color. wow soooo animated
OMG!!! lawl… green is sooo sexy for the hulk lol… and why is it blue for the family guy kid lol… i understand why its green for the hulk lol… cuz pink mixed with black and white plus brown = green but why does it make blue for the kid lol
That was surprising!
Really Awesome!
That is amazing!
This is the best illusion I have seen on this site!!! Stare at the dot in the middle when the image is pink and purple, then when it changes to black and white, the colors should be normal! like the monster looks green, etc. AWESOME
Very cool illusion!!!! Wasn’t sure where it was going when I was staring at the pink pic, but was blown away when the b&w pic came back! Or was it a full colour pic? lol
Impressive!! Keep it up!
Oh my gosh, that was awesome! Yeah, I was just thinking that it just changed from the pink to the black and white and that was it. But the black and white really does have color if you stare at the dot! Sweet! Heehee. That was so cool!
Cool.. Family Guy turns Green!!
Okay, you’ve all said over and over how to do this. You don’t need to keep saying it.
Second, all I got was sore eyes and no effect. Maybe my eyes suck, which would be why I can’t watch 3D movies.
ok… tht freaked me out a little…!
The illusion is that when it goes to black and white its in the normal color while you stare at the dot. – hulk green etc etc.
guy who posted says to watch from black and white to color thats actually wrong nothing will happen at all you watch from color to black and white then itll work only stare at dot
nice illusion!
A neat trick to try…while the image is in the purple/blue color mode, cover up part of the Family Guy with your hand so you only see part of the image. Then, when the image flips to black and white (which you see as normal color), uncover the rest of the image. The part you had covered will appear as black and white, but the rest will still appear in normal color.
haha i wonder how it would work if it was a picture of somthing someone hasnt seen b4, cus their brain wouldnt kno the colors… like almost every1 knows hulk, and peter is reconized by brain as hulk, but if it wasnt somthing the brain saw, at would happen?
