The most amazing optical illusion ever

[DigDug]

Green Dragon

You HAVE to watch the video. There's even a PDF so you can print and make your own. Its really uncanny.

HE IS CUUUUUUTE

what the hell, all that effort to cut and fold mine and it DOESNT WORK 🙁 *still trying*


EDIT:
LOL, got it to work. Just have to make sure the head is concave, not convex like you'd assume it to be. The illusion works pretty well, if you keep your angle of vision low enough to make it convincing, and don't rock too far to the left or right so that you see the backside of the paper. (too far meaning past 180 deg, it actually works very well all the way up to that point.

Also, when you first start viewing it, it seems like it isn't working particularly well. but your eyes (eye) will naturally adjust and you'll notice a point when it really does seem like it's moving. Thanks for the laugh OP

I made one... mine isn't green, though, it's more purplish. Works best at eye level. I have it sitting on top of my entertainment center so he watches you walk into the living room 😛

I tried it a while back. its pretty cool if you use a video camera instead of your eyes.
