you know those illusion pictures that look like some sort of camouflage collage? you are supposed to put your nose to the picture then slowly move it away and a surprise hidden 3 D image will appear.... They put these magic eye pictures into calendars and big colorful coffee table books... but I have NEVER been able to see the 3D image. I wonder if any one can? or is it just a joke on me to watch me putting a piece of paper to my nose and holding it out again....I must look like I have serious eye problems!
hah! maybe I do!

It comes easily to some but hard for others. I got the hang of it once - when you get the hang of it, you can keep doing it easily. But that was years back. In fact I just tried it recently. I "forgot" how to see it "correctly" now.

Oh! so you have to train yourself to it then... hmmm, maybe I should give it another go. It tends to frustrate me when others can see it but I try and try to no avail. I will have to get a book from the library as I would not wish to spend money on it to only fail!

You might even find it in the library. No need to waste money.

I love Magic Eyes, i've never had any problem doing them! You just have to sort of de-focus your eyes, if that makes sense. I'm short sighted so maybe that makes a difference? I don't even need to do the whole put it close & pull is away slowly thing, i just look at the picture, de-focus my eyes and hey presto!

I have never been good at those paintings and thinds. I remember when the craze started when I was younger and they had art shops in the malls and those paitings were everywhere. I remember everyone going, wow, cool, did you see that? Half the time I would lie and ay "yea cool" LOL Now I left a link at the bottom, follow the directions, and it DOES work, even for me. Let me know if you see it.

I didn't see it at first until I looked to the right a little, then it came into focus ... pretty cool

I haven't really tried it lately but I used to be pretty good at it. Must have been from that year I was a library aide. There are books that you can get to give you hints on how to read it. I would think that you can find the information on the internet as well. Good luck in trying to solve the mystery...it is fun when you get the hang of it.
