Hollow Face Illusion Dragon Without Leaving your desk!

Step 4Operating the Illusion

This is pretty simple. Just close one eye, and stare at the dragon's head. Move it or yourself around a little, and watch as the head pops out and follows you!

If you hadn't just made the dragon would you be able to tell the dragon's head in the image below is concave?

guys you need to look at it using ONE EYE ONLY. Also just look at it from different angles for a few seconds and the magic will happen.

If it is difficult to see, look at it through a camera lens. Use your cell phone's camera.

yeah, you can tell something is wrong about it, but my first guess would probably not be that it is concave... Perhaps if i lit it from underneath, but had nothing in the background to give away the position of the light, it might look better...
