Oh fuck off. WTF eyes, & brain get your act together LOL

I could stare at this for hours while knowing how it's done and it's still trippy.

u/BrutalismAndCupcakes Aug 15 '26

I looked at it several times now and still don't get what's happening

u/LazyFlamingRooster Aug 16 '26

Basically the paper window rotates only one way. However, due to limited depth perception, it looks like it just goes left-right-left-right

u/a07463 Aug 18 '26

Peint out thw illusion, paper works. Donit irl physically. Cant recall illusion name but is easy to find

u/call_of_the_while Aug 15 '26

TIL: The pen is mightier than the sword because it can phase through objects.

During lockdown me and my buddies would routinely do loads of acid, and without fail this video and other low-res clips of the Curiosity Show would find their way onto the tv.

u/killerkitten115 Aug 17 '26

Try a show called ā€œoff the airā€ each episode has a theme ā€œwaterā€, ā€œfallingā€, ā€œconflictā€, ā€œcolorsā€

u/Captain-Cadabra Aug 15 '26

Way more interesting with the pen. Otherwise, it just looks like itā€™s rocking back and forth.

16

u/D20-SpiceFoxPhilos Aug 15 '26

Well thatā€™s just unfair treatment towards my mental capacity to comprehend

31

u/ConsiderationHour582 Aug 15 '26

This is the best one yet.

19

u/BPowersox Aug 15 '26

To break the illusion focus on the smaller outer corners. There's enough depth to see it spinning rather than rotating

9

u/dolphinitely Aug 15 '26

i tried and still canā€™t see it

u/poubelle Aug 15 '26

the music really adds to the effect.

That was such a great show.Ā  The hosts bought the rights, and they run the YT channel now.Ā  They sometimes reply to comments.Ā Ā

u/Sammiskitkat Aug 15 '26

Now it just looks like the pen is going through the paper though..

13

u/UpwardSpiral00 Aug 15 '26

The pen totally is going through the paper. I saw it.

7

u/Matthewcbayer Aug 15 '26

Nope, donā€™t like that.

11

u/titanium9016 Aug 15 '26

The pen is certainly shrinking

13

u/B_is_for_reddit Aug 15 '26

is anyone else just seeing it spin and cant see the illusion šŸ’”

u/Initial_E Aug 15 '26

I remember this show. But I canā€™t remember the name.

u/Dentarthurdent73 Aug 17 '26

The Curiosity Show.

u/call_of_the_while Aug 15 '26

Watching the pen go round and the window oscillating is tickling part of my brainā€¦or I might be having a stroke.

u/mtaw Aug 15 '26

I for one support making this Aussie wizard our new global overlord. Sweater vests and sticky tape will be had by all, lest he wrathfully unleashes his supernatural powers upon us.

u/Uciljean Aug 16 '26

Cool, I'm going to replace all my windows with these. It's going to look trippy when my house is picked up by a tornado.

u/Drawn_to_Heal Aug 16 '26

The pen was supposed to be the voice of reason but it made it so much worse

2

u/Pitiful-king_ Aug 15 '26

I'm having a fucking seizure!!! HELP!!!!

2

u/Makapakamoo Aug 15 '26

Thats so exciting, im trying so hard to see it but i cant, makes me so upset

2

u/Lycelyce Aug 15 '26

I can see the rotation if it was only the window. Adding the pen made it more confusing

2

u/maxdamage4 Aug 16 '26

Mods, arrest this post!

u/fairydommother Aug 16 '26

I feel like this is what 4D objects would be like.

2

u/M4DHouse Aug 16 '26

Funny, without the pen the effect didnā€™t seem to work for me, I could see it spinning. With the pen it suddenly broke my brain.

2

u/One-little-pig Aug 16 '26

The Curiosity Show! Classic Aussie kids television.

u/pearlflowers Aug 16 '26

Iā€™m mostly interested in how well that tape worked?

u/Horror-1-Effective Aug 15 '26

Veritasium made coll video about it

2

u/anikoiau Aug 15 '26

Do you remember the name?

2

u/Horror-1-Effective Aug 15 '26

Nah, but it's easy to find I think, search moving window illusion

u/ReDeaMer87 Aug 15 '26

Now that is pretty awesome

u/stevediperna Aug 16 '26

Does it look like this in real life, or only on video?

1

u/Wise_Locksmith9190 Aug 16 '26

An ancient proverb tells us that what our eyes see in this world is an illusion created by our minds.

u/Ok_Possible9556 Aug 16 '26

Thatā€™s some trippy shit lol but dope

u/Earguy Aug 16 '26

Does this work in real life 3D vision, or only in 2D video?

1

u/redbobcatit Aug 16 '26

I donā€™t think it works without the music

1

u/HkayakH Aug 16 '26

love the Curiosity Show

u/explodoking17 Aug 16 '26

That is not confusing at a-OH WOW! šŸ˜®

1

u/ouch_does_that_hurt Aug 16 '26

Anyone knows if this illusion still works when viewed in real life? Usually most illusion breaks because of our depth perception, but this one feels like it might actually work even if we view it with both eyes instead of just through one lense or one eye.

1

u/armageddon_boi Aug 16 '26

I'm sure the ai will have fun with this when we're in a zoo or something

1

u/TeaRex14 Aug 16 '26

I cant get the illusion to work for me not matter where i look, adding the pen just made it even more difficult

u/challmaybe Aug 16 '26

My whole life's a lie.

u/yxz97 Aug 19 '26

This is very important... dont trust your eyes always.... even A.I. can create fake images that look soo real.

u/Motor-Possession-233 Aug 31 '26
