Cool Optical illusion and mind trick

Ok, now that’s trippy cool!
if you squint at it, it stops moving. Try it.
[...] Here’s another great optical illusion that will play major tricks on your mind. And if you haven’t seen some of Felice Varini’s work yet, check out this brain art. [...]
If I stare it and concentrate, I can make them stop moving. Probably about the same as squinting in the above post.
Squinting does work, good observation
if u concentrate on it it stops moving
Why does it stop moving when you print it? Must probably be the colour difference. I want a shirt like that!
ZOMG
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The image above is a GIF, which might indicate that it is animated. The illusion does work on a still screen shot or on printed paper, but not nearly as strong. The animation would just make this image’s effect more emphasized so that everyone can see it without focusing on any one spot to make it move.
I checked the image in Fireworks, it’s not an animated gif. Just a regular one. It may have to do with viewing it on a screen though as it was definitely moving in Fireworks. You also have to remember to keep your eyes moving.
