I see smarties.

YYY??
Thats what I see.

Nope...i've NEVER manged to see one!

3D floating smartie balls. I'm one of those weird people who can see em.

Are the Brown ones not the letter Y and the two end ones a question mark.

Everybody has the ability to see them. It's just a matter of unlocking that ability through practice and consentration. I've always been able to see them within seconds, but I used to have several magic eye books, so I've had plenty of practice.

That particular Smartie picture is just a series of large circles in a grid. It's a crap one.

I can see them too.

Well excuuuuuuse me

RAWKY!!!

Me neither!!  EVER!!!

We had to do a strengths & weaknesses thing on a development course at work and I put "knitting, sewing & Magic Eyeing" in my weakness box!

lol

Practice on this picture. It is a super easy one to see.

Get really close up to your monitor, so that the image takes up most of your vision without it being blurry, and then force yourself to go cock-eyed. You should immediately begin to see some weird distortion, then it's just a matter of honing your vision in so that the magic-eye illusion comes into focus. Once you see the magic-eye, it's difficult to unsee it until you blink or move your head.

 

Make sure you are close to the image. It's much more difficult if it isn't close.

THE SECOND PIC ,IS THAT A FACE?

Ooooh! I used to love these. They kept me sane between dissertations and life events (as well as spider solitaire).

I can never see anything in them either, Rawky.

Is it a dinosaur Maths?

Can't see that one either Maffs. Do you mean go cross eyed?

nope....can't see the second one either...  I go close, go cock eyed.... and all I see is red fuzz.

I have really crap depth perception...  (I can never thread a needle... ever)..    I have wondered if that has anything to do with it!

Yeah, just keep trying. The practice will pay off, even if it takes ten minutes. Once you see it, there is no going back. You'll be able to see them all after that. It's just a matter of knowing how to use your eyes.

You don't want to go completely cross-eyed by the way. Control it. Focus your vision. Control the crossing of your eyes.

I USED to be able to see them, about 15+ years ago, but now I can't.  My eyesight is not what it was, so I think whatever I had in my vision all those years ago, has diminished.  What IS that first pic Rawky?  If we knew what it was, we could try and see it.

It looks like Skippy the Kangaroo

No Rawky, I can't cos my left eye has'nt got the sight the right eye has and I'm clour blind to shades....

The first one is a lot of circles, the second one is a kangaroo

I saw it as a dinosaur.  Dinosaurs are superior to kangaroos.

I used to love Magic Eyes as a kid, I found them really easy to do.  You kinda have to look through them, like you are focussing on something slightly further away?  If you go cross-eyed you see something too, but it is the opposite way round I think.

They're a lot easier to do on paper than on a computer screen as well.

what I see is ,first one, 11 smartie balls, second one a Kangaroo.

I see both of them. Smartie balls and a dinosaur.

For the first time I saw both of them yay!

11 smartie balls and Crab eyes err I mean skippy

Sorry but it is a dinosaur. If you open image in a new tab it's name is dino.

I used to be able to do it but ....................I've had a quick go at both of them and given up. TBH - it gives me a bit of a headache and I find it's not worth the effort.

You just have to learn to unfocus your eyes!  I had terrible trouble seeing them at first but once you learn the trick its easy peasy (smirk!) this one is groups of smarties in little circles floating in front of a wall of smarties.

I've tried them both, using all the tricks people have suggested.
I still can't see anything except smarties and a red splodge.

Try this one

can't see these    I was told it's cos I'm short sighted and that people like us have difficulty seeing these things - nothing like a good excuse 

just smarties and red and white mess 

Squiggle I can see big heads in that one but only at the top 

I'm short-sighted too Its just a knack of unfocussing your eyes, really as short-sighted people we should be better at it!

Me too Squiggle, maybe that's an advantage. Great pic by the way 

yaay i can see them

What is actually in the pics squiggle?  It would help if we knew.    Thank you.

I don't think it helps if I say, because the fun part is seeing if you can see what the 3D image is. Sorry.
