This illusion greatly reminds me of an old horror story by W. W. Jacobs, called Monkey’s Paw. If you haven’t read it, you’ve probably encountered the motive in numerous cartoons, movies or series where the person receives some kind of mysterious monkey paw from India, which is a talisman that grants wishes, but the wishes come with an enormous price for interfering with fate. Each time a wish has been granted, one of the fingers of the paw contract. There’s a great chance you’ve seen the reference in one of the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror specials. Anyway, can you see what’s so mysterious about the hand shown below? Hint word of the day: Fringe.

Nice, I didn’t see it (late last night, early now, no coffee yet) because I was starring at the Lego. But thats the whole point, so it works fine. :)
Or if you want me to post like everybody else:
It has an extra finger! Easy peasy! What’s with the cube dough? I am awesome for seeing it just as it is. I am not tricked!
Sorry, still no coffee, but sometimes I wished people would think about what people want to read before they comment.
I have no clue what can be wrong with the hand other than the six fingers and the obvious yellow lego-cube.
Still searching the illusion…
There are five fingers and a thumb. Not only that, but the fingers disappear one at a time! Scary
there’s a Chinese word under the lego
how is this supposed to be an illusing ??
a print of a hand with 5 fingers & a yellow logo brick ?

obviously, it’s a map of Dallas. cough, cough-six fingers-ahem. excuse me.
Those lines at the LEGO brick are not nails.
They are the chinese word “huan” 幻. there should be a second word behind hidden in the dark that says “ying” 影. Together, the word “huan ying” 幻影 means illusion.
the palm looks like a street map and there’s 6 fingers and the lego is a building i think.
there is a chinese word near the lego – “幻” (huan)- meaning “imaginary”.
Those aren’t nails — I just realized it’s a Chinese character. See #52: http://www.yellowbridge.com/chinese/radicals.php.
Come on guys, if you stare at the lego, in a few seconds the image will be transformed into a Gorilla eating bananas.
is that a W by the “lego”
Hmm….I found two handprints today that only has 3 fingers….what would that mean? Is it a hint, hint??
wen u stare at the edge it seems to turn darker blue gradually and also disapears
The yellow lego is there to draw away you attention from the 6 fingers
cgimusic is colour blind the lego is yellow
also – if you stare at the lego brick and focus the nativity scene appears with the three wsie men following the star of the east
hard to notice a little
it has six fingers and i actually had to look at the comments when i saw that… didnt see it, looks soooo normal WOW. I can kinda see faces in the fingers… maybe there supposed to be mokeys???
I think if you look inside those scars on the middle of the hand, you can see a naked woman.
The piece of Lego is placed in the palm to extract eyes from the fingers
When I look at the lego the fingers slowly dissapeer one by one. Its really interesting to think about it ;)
Having looked at the fringe poster there are extra images. Take a close look at the little finger – there is an image of a person(looking rather like a Gandalf figure). None of the fingers has fingerprints as such. images maybe.
Its got six fingers!! And yawl I’m just wondrin’ whats with that yella lego.
Disappear Trick ;)
If you look at the lego piece the paw gives you the finger
There are faces and images in all 6 fingers…………………………………i still dont know what that lego is for :?
6 fingers duhh!!
I find it strange that none of the fingers look like an extra finger. They all seem perfectly normal. Yet there is an extra, I just don’t know which one it is. Interesting.
Isn’t the ‘palm print’ made from a section of a map?
From a short distance I see a turkey, and with the 2 nails in the palm it reminds me of Jesus on the cross.
maybe i am crazy but it looks to me like a human scull am I right? can anyone else see it?
in case no one knew, those markings right below the lego make up the chinese word
幻
which roughly translates to imaginary, dreamy, unreal, etc.
in each of the fingers i see a creepy girl looking 0.0 but in the thumb..i see a hand reaching twords the left of the fingers…u might have to angle the pic a litlle to see some of these
WOWWW you have some serious issues… O.O
i dont c anything really. but if u just stare at the lego, then the fingers seem to slowly fade away. but they dont fade away completely.
why is an old style lego brick shopped into a blue handprint?
i found 2 kanji
for people who learn japanese, you know what i mean.
i know. he has 6 fingers and a logo block
well.. in addition to 6 fingers.. its a satellite map… am i right?
o ma gosh, the fingers vanished, creapy or whate
Six fingers?
it has six fingers
If you stare at the lego piece for a while, the fingers will disappear one at a time.
It has six fingers
I have this to say:
‘Fringe’
