Is the window spinning, or swinging back and forth?

  • thanks for sharing this, it was really useful!

  • OH I see now!

  • I am convinced. Thanks for sharing

  • Better view of the illusion here:

    watch?v=tc_LqIaO2b8&feature=pl­ayer_embedded

  • the camer angle is incorrect, for the illusion to be convincing

  • I think it might of helped the illusion to not have the shadow in the background giving away the rotation.. Then again, it could have been their intention.. woooo, twilight zoneism.

  • spinning, because the set screws in the base don't oscillate, they revolve.
