Look at the image in this article.

Which way is it for you? (sorry being deliberately vague in the hope I don't affect the results lol)

I saw this a few days ago, and I'm pretty sure that it's not an optical illusion - the dancer actually reverses every few minutes.

Oh that's interesting, so it must be the speed at which you register the spinning then..

[ilumiari]

After watching it again I'm convinced. Just keep watching it long enough and you'll notice it reverse. Or go away for a minute and when you get back it'll have reversed - without any major brain activity on your part.

Hmm.. i've watched it for a while now and it still looks clockwise to me?

[cigerfei]

I got clockwise for awhile then suddenly i realised its goin anti...

Mostly its clockwise...guess im right-sided or something..

lol i posted that on my journal a week or so ago and i'm sure it's not a trick, wheni stare at the feet/between the dancer and shadow then look back up again it changes direction from time to time~

Apparently according to that I'm creative and whatnot etc such. :3 I don't think it's a trick. But I guess some people like to think it's a trick because they're just suspicious that way? It would make sense that people who use whichever side more dominant would see certain things differently :3

I got clockwise, and I cannot see it go anti-clockwise. What side of the brain does that make me?

[lenoria_light]

ARGH! I did what Bert said and looked at the shadow and the changed! I'm losing my minddddddd

I'm still going with clockwise though. So I guess I'm right side. I guess I could have picked that...
