"magic eyes" pictures... can you "see" these pics?

BEst way for me to do it is to split the image with my eyes....look at one finger until it looks like 2.... Thats the way ya do it with the pictures and they jump right out.

how close do you get to the pic? do you go cross eyed?

I can never figure these things out...

Your not alone. I think they are fake and everyone just says they see it to act cool

[Target Practice]

Got 'em all. I love those things...I haven't found one I couldn't see. But yeah, somepeople just can't do them.

I hate to spoil them for everybody though...

[Flamebo]

I can see them, but I can't figure out what the 5th picture is supposed to be...

At any rate, they're much harder to do on a computer monitor (at least a CRT, I've never tried on a flat screen). If you can't do them, I'd suggest going to the library and getting a book. They're much easier on paper.

I can see shapes in all of them, but some of them are hard to make out exactly what they are, I know a few of them are sharks and one is a flower. The rest look like wierd shapes to me.

[Miscue]

I've never been able to make out anything in those magic eye pictures.

The picture should be about 18" to 24" away. Stare directly at the center of the picture for a few moments and see if you can discern some 3D edges. The trick isn't to find a focal point in the picture, but to get any of the image to appear and hold focus on it.

Try extending your arm and holding up your pointer finger in front of a dark background. Ignore the background objects and concentrate on your finger until you can 'see' two fingers clearly, but without distorting the rest of your hand. It should put some strain on your eyes the first couple of tries, but no - you're not going cross-eyed. The pictures work the exact same way, at about the same distance.

For the record, I have no idea what the fifth picture is either. A flower with devil horns?!

[Load SM5]

Yea, satanic thistle, I think. That's the only one I don't recognize.

[Buff]

ya, the 5th looks like a horny guy:P

it works well if u cross ur eyes, then slowely uncross them.

[Sparq]

The further back you geat the easier it becomes. Find two parts of the pattern in the image which match. Cross your eyes until one is superimposed over the other, then try to focus in that point.

[Jack & Coke]

ok... which one 's the easiest? I'll start with that one...

[Load SM5]

I'd have to say 6.

I have never been able to do even one of these on paper, on a computer, or on a kids cereal box. I think my eyes are retarded.
