Pink and Green
In this optical illusion, if you follow the movement of the rotating pink dot with your eyes, the dots will remain only one color, pink.
However, if you stare at the black + in the center, the moving dot will turn green.Keep concentrating on the black + in the center of the picture. After a short period, all the pink dots will slowly disappear and you will only see a single green dot moving in a circle.
Color Blindness Tests
The following are common tests used to detect color blindness.Can you read the numbers hidden in each square?You should see 58 (upper left), 18 (upper right), E (lower left) and 17 (lower right).If you cannot see any of the above numbers/letters, you may suffer from color blindness.
Heat Waves
Stare at the center of the moving image for approximately 60 seconds and then look at some writing or something similar. This optical illusion should cause the writing to be wavy (much like heat waves on the highway on a very hot day!)
Pinwheel
The amazing pinwheel is a very freaky optical illusion! This trick involves downloading a simple program (pinwheel.exe). Download this file and run it from the directory in which you indicated the file be saved. The pinwheel will appear on your screen at this time. Stare directly into the center of the pinwheel for 60 seconds. Then immediately look away from the screen and at the back of your hand. This trick is very amusing. Try looking at other things in the immediately vicinity as well! Have fun!
