Another good one! The Magic Eyes remind me of when I was a kid and would cross my eyes and my mother would always say, "Don't do that. Your eyes will freeze like that and you'll always be cross eyed." She also would tell me to eat all my carrots at dinner as they made my hair curly. lol!

My dad did the same thing. Anything he wanted us to eat would make our hair curly, even crusts of the bread.

No matter how hard I try I have never been able to see these

I put a link to the tutorial on yesterday's post try following it. This one is very easy I have only been doing easy ones. For me I must totally relax my eyes then cross my eyes and then gaze at the center of the picture till I see it change.

Well this is weird--this first couple of times I tried this one, every other row of flowers stood out, then after the central image resolved, I can no longer get the alternate row effect. I can also get three (or four) levels on this one, too.

Dakota, try what raven said to do--deliberately unfocus/relax your eyes, then cross them, and hold that until you see the images separate.

Someone on the other thread said that you need equal depth perception--the same prescription in both eyes to see the images (or, as my late husband did, your eyes need to learn to compensate for having a different depth perception/prescription in each eye).

I can almost always see the image. I take my glasses off and use the hold it close to your face, focus through the page, then move it away method. Some of the more complex images with shading are more difficult for me. I can still see those images, but can't always tell what they are because they aren't sharply defined like today's image.

I tried following the tutorial and still was not able to do it. I guess I'm just over-thinking it and can't get my brain to shut up

Same for me, doesn't work.

These have always hurt my eyes, I can't even look at them.

Once again, the image I get is 3 D but is not a raised object. It's a hollowed impression of the shape. Does anyone else get these results? The starfish, I saw a concave impression 3 times and the raised starfish object only once.

Ummm....I love it ....<3

I find if I stare at the middle of the photo, cross my eyes then yikes it jumps out at me.

I can see it with the iPhone and iPad but not on my computer monitor. I love these, thanks!

snookums, if I look at the concave image long enough, a square pops off the original image, with the concave image still in the center. I can turn my head side-to-side, and move the floating square back and forth over the original image. I find these fascinating--vision is such an amazing process!

Yes I get the square that pops off the page too and it moves if you shift your head. With the starfish, I got an object once but usually the concave hollow.

Yes it is concave today. Yesterday the volcano popped out at you like a mountain. It's very weird to reach your finger into the image while you are seeing it. They can be concave many are I don't always get the square that pops out I don't know if some are not made that way and they often vary in how many layers. <3

With the volcano, I saw a cone raised inside of a big hole. It didn't rise above the outside surface. Is that what you saw?

Always a concave/hollow central image for me, too. I'm extremely nearsighted, but I also see the concave image without my glasses.

I have a daughter and a grandson who were both born with esotropia and have had surgery (multiple surgeries for my DD) to correct it. I was told that before the surgery, the brain would block the input from one eye, to alleviate double vision. But that meant that with vision in only one eye, there was no depth perception. I'll have to remember to ask my DD if she can see the Magic Eye in 3D.

ETA, I saw the same volcanoe image as snookums. But sometimes it was a triple cone.

like dakota & elmer,I cannot see anything.

Have you ever been reading and suddenly your starring at a word and thinking and the word becomes blurry...or your starring at something not really seeing it but more lost in thought and the object your starring at becomes two...try doing it that way...stare at one point and get lost in a thought....lol

Ont_gal & others, I finally got to see them by getting up really close for a few seconds then pulling back slowly. Its like your looking through a glass, Amazing! Keep trying.

Weird! I see raised images today. For some reason, this one was really hard for me. Had to try over-and-over before it finally popped out.

I have not been able to see them on my monitor at all. I don't have a lap top or a tablet, so I can't say about those. But when I print them out, then follow the directions given in a link in a previous thread, it works every time. Sometimes it takes a few tries, though. A couple of my ink cartridges are out, so the colors don't print true, but that doesn't seem to affect how the image works at all. I am far-sighted, but I can still see them when I print them out, both with my reading glasses and without. So you might try printing them, hopefully it will work for you.

Ha! I finally got the raised image this time. Previous times it was hollowed. I'd love to know what's going on with that situation.

This one was a Heart! Love y'all!

I'll add a better explanation later.
