My First Optical Illusion..!

You can watch the video bellow but it's better to watch it on fullscreen, you can do this by clicking here. Be sure you stare at the X in the middle of the screen the whole way through the video. This technique is so simple yet it works so well, it is basically two images, the first is an inverted image and the second is a greyscale version of the original colour image. When you watch the video and stare at the X and it changes to the greyscale image your eyes will see the image in full colour even though the original colour image is nowhere to be seen in the video! Its a bit like if you were to look at a light bulb for a few seconds in the dark and then switched it off, you can still see some sort of image in your eyes.



I hope you enjoyed my first optical illusion, hopefully there will be many more to come!

Alun.
