Dragon Illusion

This is a wonderful optical illusion. This little dragon is made out of paper - you simply cut it out and stick it together, and stand it on a table or window ledge. But when you move around, the dragon's head seems to follow you around the room. Have a look at the video, to see what we mean. The effect is really uncanny.

I made one also, I followed the instructions as said, and the head is concave, but it just wont move, whats wrong...?

[tubester]

okay. trick is, stand a distance away. den cover one eye. and focus on the eyes of the dragon. keep looking at it until u visualise a 3D head. basically tricking your eye into thinking that the head is like popping up instead of caving in. once u got dat, slowly move ur head around and voila. see how it works nicely on a camera because the camera only has one focus and one lens. =) good luck!

If anyone would like this, I can send you this illusion cut out, that you will just fold and it will be yours. I will charge $5 for work and shipping. Email me at a.gordeyev@yahoo.com. The cutout will be strong to last, it will be green version without any wording on it. :)

This is a great little illusion. It reminds me of the Charlie Chaplin mask on a rotating stick, and the human-to-human response forces you to believe it's always convex.
