Default Spinning Ferry Wheel Illusion

Concerning the illusion, the wheel on the left is classic optical illusion we've already seen in famous Spinning Girl Illussion Basically, if you observe the wheel carefully, you can make it turn both ways. You'll need some training, but after few minutes, you'll be able to change the spinning direction very quickly! Hope you enjoy it!

Hi Mercedes,
long time no see,

is your dad an illusionist or something ?
Anyway, it’s interesting again and for me quite inexplicable.
As long as you don’t make me disappear ...

Frank, it is totally inexplicable. I always believed my eyes before and now, after the spinning girl and this, I realize my eyes can be deceived.

BTW Mer mi querida amiga, this is a Ferris wheel. I am only guessing but I think it was so named after it's inventor.

Saludos mis amigos.

You guys made me laugh a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

My dad an illusionist? hahahaha Noooo way... I just love optical illusions.

"I realize my eyes can be deceived." Interesting Vicente... after the spinning girl I realized sometimes there could be MY truth, YOUR truth and THE TRUTH.

It's just a matter of different points of view

(Thanks for the correction... I copied and pasted the title and didn't check it... Thanks anyway amigo)
