just look intensely at the dot in the middle
(don't worry , there won't be a monster popping up)
(if there is an ad , hide it and restart the video)

There needs to be a disclaimer though.

Warning Domainers that spend there full day looking at word lists in front of a monitor should not participate in eye numbing, stare at the dot til the carpet is pulled out Optical Illusions!!!

I think I've seen this one. Though I can't confirm since there was an error in loading the video. Oh well, I've seen illusions from before, and it usually occurs and can only be seen by keen-eyed people.

Actually I begin to know after I look over it 3 times.

And for everyone, I believe everyone could see the illusion but only not know what's the illusion.

My clue is , watch the first time with focus on the dot and second time, watch again and try not only to focus to the video, but look somewhere else and look again the video.

By that I realize, this illusion is so awesome since I am not realize I am seeing the illusion already in the first time I watch the video

It fools people because you just assume the video maker is disolving from color to black and white. But instead your eyes are transfering the color to the black and white image.

You can go back and freeze frame that the castle was not in color in the video to check the effect

it is what johname described


on the first 25 seconds of the video the image has inverted colours ... if you concentrate hard on the dot , on the 25th second you will see a vivid coloured image of the castle with blue sky and green grass ... then , the image seems to turn black+white ... well the illusion is that it went from inverted colours straight to black+white , there was no colour image (you can verify it by going to the 25th second were the change from inverted to black+white occurs)


actually , if you get the hang of it (by concentrating on the dot real hard while also allowing your eyes to see the inverted blue and yellow colours) , you can extend the duration of the the "coloured" image to many seconds ... all you have to do is to not re-focus your eyes
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=738806




ok

I got another one that you will probably all like ... and this one is really strange (especially what happens with the black bar at the end)

(actually , his channel (Quirkology) has many other interesting tricks)

THAT is the best illusion ever (imho). Simple as black and white.

Ha, that castle one really tricked me. It worked for me the first time (castle looked colored when it's really a B&W pic) but I kept watching it expecting something else. Look away and then look back quick to see the colors go away.

thanks Jamarea , that picture looks better in a post than in an attachment

(just to clarify , I did not say that it is the best illusion ever , the youtube poster named the video that way lol)

also the link you posted has more of these interesting colour illusions





yeah RJ , it is really strange how the eyes "add" colour where there is none
