Pretty cool man. This is the first video I've seen from you, so I don't know anything about your magic tricks... I'll look them up in a bit. But I really love optical illusions!
Maybe if I put it in a box with a cutout to force a particular point of view it would work. Either way, thank you for making and posting this video.
If it is not working you have probably built it wrong. the diagram on the print off can be misleading because the optical effect applys to that Too! if you have built the face the wrong way I.E colour side sticking out, simply push the whole thing inside out (no resticking required) good luck
Here's the reason why a lot of people get it wrong: You need to know the difference between a valley and mountain fold. When you look at the white side of the dragon, it should be the 3-D part, and the other side should only be an illusion of it. You guys should check out vids on how to make the head.
Alright, comments are now back on. Spammers please don't waste everyone's time. I will just delete you and if it persists I'll just disable the commenting again. Everyone else, fire away.
Sigh, well, unfortunately for everyone due to some recent and incessant spamming on my videos I am disabling comment posting for the time being. I don't want to because I want people to leave their opinion good or bad but I'm not putting up with this anymore. In time I will turn the commenting back on. You may PM me with questions if you have them.
No broadband where I am right now. Can't get files that big uploaded with dial-up. I'll be back with some more soon as I can but I can't say for sure when though.
Double check to make sure you put it together right. You have to keep one eye shut while you look it in person for the illusion to work. If it still isn't working you might be standing too close, take a step or two back.
I thought it also worked in person D:

You can close one eye in person and it works. :) That works with my red dragon.

i know how this works. The shape is 3-D, and where you move the camera, the angle of veiw changes. so the dragon seems to move!!!!

If both yes, then I have no clue what to do =P
