that is by far the coolest illusion i have ever seen. which way does she spin for you when you look at it right away? if you focus hard enough, you can make it spin the other way...

I couldn't get it to switch while I was looking at it but when I closed the window it was spinning the other way when I opened it again. Rigged?

That's cool I can make her switch at will. When she goes clockwise her foot is coming down to the floor when she goes counter clockwise it's like she is jumping off the floor. Watch her feet and hte floor and stare for a while it'll switch

i thought it was something that was rigged and changed over time, but i figured out how to change it when i want. what i did was cover up her head/boobs with your hand, then cover her legs up to her stomach with your other hand. you should only see just about an inch of her torso and her arms... focus on her arms and eventually you can make it spin the other way, slowly remove your hands and she will be spinning the opposite!
it was clockwise for me originally, and by doing that i can make it spin either way.

Surprise surprise the shemale is opposite of most of utes.
She was always counterclockwise for me but then I started making the counterclockwise circle with her and she switched.
EDIT: Grrrrrrrr - now I can't make her go back to counterclockwise. You've ruined my brain.

I just got the roses picture to work - I've never been able to do that before.
I wonder if I'm missing anything...?
EDIT: I got my brain in the relaxed state with the roses and then I saw E=mc squared.
I wonder what else would pop out if you were shrooming?

lol i really can't even comprehend how it could possibly be spinning clockwise. it's just counter-clockwise and that's all there is to it.

I just focus on the outside foot. If I want it to be clockwise then I think about it kicking towards me when it's on the right, and I do the same on the left if I want it to be counterclockwise.

Holy crap, I'm on dope now. I can make it switch by focusing on her outside foot for a few turns, her pivot foot for a few turns, and then the shadow of her pivot foot for a few turns.....then it'll reverse to counter-clockwise.
Weird stuff.

Wtf I was sure it was rigged. When I look straight at it it's clockwise. When I shift my focus to the left and let the peripheral vision take over, it switches to counter-clockwise and stays that way when I focus on it again.

I'm definitely right-brain. She spins clockwise at first every time I look at the image.
But I can make her spin counter-clockwise by reciting the alphabet backwards, starting with "Z". The change happens when I get to about "T". This should work for most of you that can only see her spinning clockwise.
For you left-brain people, perhaps try to imagine that she is a color other than black. Try to see her as dark purple or dark green or whatever and keep focusing on seeing her as a color. This should cause her to start spinning in the other direction.

If you were a bird looking down at her, clockwise would be her rotating in the same direction that a clock's hands rotate.

I cant make it switch either.. though I could imagine you could see it the other way around.
The conclusions are totally bogus though.. it's clockwise for me and it says I'm all about feeling, philosophy and religion, which is the exact opposite of the truth.

haha this is awesome..
one other way i can make it switch back and forth is by looking at it spin in the corner of my eye. like focus on the middle of the page but just kinda glance at it and picture it spinning the other way. works for me.

I finally got it. To make her spin counter-clockwise I just focus on the shadow of her outside foot. Once she's counter-clockwise, I can't switch back until I focus on her pivot foot.
I never would have guessed that I was right-brained.

I was able to make her switch by watching the outside foot as well, but she definitely spins counter-clockwise unless I make her spin the other way.
And I am most definitely left-brained.

It's funny, here, everyone's first reaction was hoax/rigged, but on the other non-poker forum I post on, everyone immediately accepted it was genuine. Wonder what that says about poker players?
