I love these things. This one of possibly my most favourite ever.

During the 90s craze for Magic Eye pictures, I never managed to see a single one and not for want of trying! Years later, I read a tip that helped me to see several.

1). Draw two dots above the picture, about 1cm apart.
2). Stare at the dots until it looks as though there’s three of them.

It’s a bit difficult to do this on a screen, I admit …

I remember the first ones I saw were in the very early 90s. A friend brought a book of them back from Glastonbury. They all had the dots to stare at.

LTB?

No. Another MN favourite. ODFOD 😉

@RamblingFar and @beccahamlet , thank you. I can see all the letters now, when I click on the picture first.

I adore magic eyes ever since they first became popular. I find them really relaxing, they help with my anxiety.

The first one I can see a kind of 6 pointed star type shape with another star thing in the middle- is that what I’m meant to see?

I can see all 5 letters of the second one!

I could never do those (see them) and it appears I still can’t… are you supposed to just stare at it in the middle?

You need to sligthly unfocus your eyes and then you can see a bit behind it.

I can see them both thanks to advice earlier about putting your nose yo the screen!

I have never ever seen one before!

SoupDragon · 23/07/2024 11:31

The first one is this...

sort of.... it's a star shaped funnel with butterflies floating in the middle.

Look through it instead of at it.

SoupDragon · 23/07/2024 11:37

If I hold my eye pad up to my nose and stare at it, it almost appears 3d and I can see a butterfly that looks floating. I focussed on this as I moved the screen away and the whole thing snapped into focus.

HighHeelsOnCobblestones · 23/07/2024 12:14

My brother loved these when we were little and laughing at me because I couldn’t see them. I still can’t do them.

WetBandits · 23/07/2024 12:15

I love these! This one is pretty 🙂

For years I couldn't do these, and used to get really frustrated about it. Then one day it suddenly happened and now I find them easy to do. No idea what changed!

VolvoFan · 23/07/2024 12:29

Me too!

That looks like my migraine aura!

I love them! I can see them within seconds now, I seem to have mastered the technique down to a fine art.

ErrolTheDragon · 23/07/2024 13:59

I've never been able to see these - not sure if it's because one of my eyes is too dominant? I'm going to squint at the thread on my phone later on.

The first image is pretty as it is though!Grin

It's like a muscle flexing in your eye, isn't it? Weird feeling!

Probably best you don't look at it then... 😂

The actual 3d image is lovely. Once I knew I was looking for a star shape I managed to see it easily. The decoded image does it no justice.

I just spent way too long trying to 'see' this magic eye picture that is actually just an advert that popped up in the thread! 😂

(It's definitely not sensitive content, btw. I've no idea how to undo that).
