I can draw it for you:

Stare at the woman. What do you see at either corner of your eye sight? A lamp? The wall? A TV? Another PC? A window? Whatever it is, turn your head and look at the object standing at the edge of your peripheral vision and keep on it, don't look back. There you go, she'll quickly start turning counter-clockwise, no need to look at it for a long time. She switches at a specific frame so it should only take a few seconds.

The blue circles are your eyes. Nevermind her raised arms.

Do like I do - I switch direction at will. Do not concentrate on it, just relax your brain.

Ah, but I doubt you can draw that!

It's a bit like with these older pictures, 3D pöuzzles that were en vogue some years ago - you had a pixel mass, but whehn looking at it in a certain semi-focussed yet relaxed state of mind, you suddenly saw a fully and true 3dimensional form/figure in it.

I personally believe there is a link between this state of mind, and certain introductory pahses of meditation, or the trance-like state of mind clairvoyants are entering to "see" in their crystal balls, pans, or whatever they use.

You also experience it sometimes when looking into a shallow water, the sky reflected on the surface, but the ground still present in you sight - effectively you have two image levels, or two images in one. This is confusing to your eye, or better: your brain, and helps it to jump pf the usual track, if only for seconds. When your view is stripped off normal visual clues that help you to estimate relations, dimensions and distances, and it feels as if your eyes are diving/falling into a void, then this also falls into this category of phenomenons that one could call self-induced trance. No matter if crystal orbs or a reflöective surface, all this are tools only to hel clearvoyants to enter this trance-like state of mind. It's their mind where they may see images, not the orb.

I would say that most of not all people have the ability or potential to be able to see like this, some more, some less. Where people differ is the degree to which they can let go prejudices and open themselves to give it a fair and unbiased try. Speaking of experience!

I also see a strong link between thinking, imagination on the one hand, and eye sight on the other. Even more, good readers of body language and NLP therapists can make conculsions on the quality of what you currently think of, by observing your eye'S movement, if you look left, or up, or stare.

It's a silhouette, so when the woman's hands, legs, or ponytail overlap her body you have no way to tell whether they are in front of her or behind her. At the instance that you believe that her leg that just pointed away from you is actually pointing toward you, she will appear to be spinning in the other direction - this is how I get her to switch on command

Nice one, robbo180265!

It took me about 10 minutes to get it 'working', hehehe...

Any other illusions?

Yeah: put your two index (or any other) fingers together about six inches in front of your eyes. Don't look at your fingers; look straight ahead across the room. You'll now see a third 'finger' sandwiched between the two. If you pull them apart slowly the 'third' one will float in the air.

Take a pen or pencil between your fingers and shake it. If you shake it with the right rythm the solid pencil will seem to be made out of rubber.
