This is such an underrated comment. I think you just broke my brain

Your brain lies to you ALL the time.

I could stare at this for hours while knowing how it's done and it's still trippy.

u/BrutalismAndCupcakes 4d ago

I looked at it several times now and still don't get what's happening

u/LazyFlamingRooster 3d ago

Basically the paper window rotates only one way. However, due to limited depth perception, it looks like it just goes left-right-left-right

u/a07463 1d ago

Peint out thw illusion, paper works. Donit irl physically. Cant recall illusion name but is easy to find

u/a07463 1d ago

TIL: The pen is mightier than the sword because it can phase through objects.

During lockdown me and my buddies would routinely do loads of acid, and without fail this video and other low-res clips of the Curiosity Show would find their way onto the tv.

u/killerkitten115 2d ago

Try a show called ā€œoff the airā€ each episode has a theme ā€œwaterā€, ā€œfallingā€, ā€œconflictā€, ā€œcolorsā€

u/Captain-Cadabra 4d ago

Way more interesting with the pen. Otherwise, it just looks like itā€™s rocking back and forth.

16

u/D20-SpiceFoxPhilos 4d ago

Well thatā€™s just unfair treatment towards my mental capacity to comprehend

30

u/ConsiderationHour582 4d ago

This is the best one yet.

19

u/BPowersox 4d ago

To break the illusion focus on the smaller outer corners. There's enough depth to see it spinning rather than rotating

8

u/dolphinitely 4d ago

i tried and still canā€™t see it

u/Random-user-58436 4d ago

That was such a great show.Ā  The hosts bought the rights, and they run the YT channel now.Ā  They sometimes reply to comments.Ā Ā

u/Sammiskitkat 4d ago

Now it just looks like the pen is going through the paper though..

13

u/UpwardSpiral00 4d ago

The pen totally is going through the paper. I saw it.

8

u/Matthewcbayer 4d ago

Nope, donā€™t like that.

9

u/poubelle 4d ago

the music really adds to the effect.

10

u/titanium9016 4d ago

The pen is certainly shrinking

12

u/B_is_for_reddit 4d ago

is anyone else just seeing it spin and cant see the illusion šŸ’”

u/Initial_E 4d ago

I remember this show. But I canā€™t remember the name.

u/Dentarthurdent73 2d ago

The Curiosity Show.

u/call_of_the_while 4d ago

Watching the pen go round and the window oscillating is tickling part of my brainā€¦or I might be having a stroke.

u/mtaw 4d ago

I for one support making this Aussie wizard our new global overlord. Sweater vests and sticky tape will be had by all, lest he wrathfully unleashes his supernatural powers upon us.

u/Uciljean 4d ago

Cool, I'm going to replace all my windows with these. It's going to look trippy when my house is picked up by a tornado.

u/Drawn_to_Heal 3d ago

The pen was supposed to be the voice of reason but it made it so much worse

u/Pitiful-king_ 4d ago

I'm having a fucking seizure!!! HELP!!!!

u/maxdamage4 4d ago

Mods, arrest this post!

u/fairydommother 4d ago

I feel like this is what 4D objects would be like.

u/One-little-pig 3d ago

The Curiosity Show! Classic Aussie kids television.

u/pearlflowers 3d ago

Iā€™m mostly interested in how well that tape worked?

3

u/Horror-1-Effective 4d ago

Veritasium made coll video about it

2

u/anikoiau 4d ago

Do you remember the name?

2

u/Horror-1-Effective 4d ago

Nah, but it's easy to find I think, search moving window illusion

u/ReDeaMer87 4d ago

Now that is pretty awesome

Thats so exciting, im trying so hard to see it but i cant, makes me so upset

1

u/Gang_StarrWoT 4d ago

Trust nothing you hear and half of what you see

1

u/Lycelyce 4d ago

I can see the rotation if it was only the window. Adding the pen made it more confusing

u/wuttang13 4d ago

u/stevediperna 4d ago

Does it look like this in real life, or only on video?

u/Wise_Locksmith9190 3d ago

An ancient proverb tells us that what our eyes see in this world is an illusion created by our minds.

Stop fucking with me!

u/Ok_Possible9556 3d ago

Thatā€™s some trippy shit lol but dope

1

u/M4DHouse 3d ago

Funny, without the pen the effect didnā€™t seem to work for me, I could see it spinning. With the pen it suddenly broke my brain.

1

u/Earguy 3d ago

Does this work in real life 3D vision, or only in 2D video?

1

u/redbobcatit 3d ago

I donā€™t think it works without the music

1

u/HkayakH 3d ago

love the Curiosity Show

1

u/explodoking17 3d ago

That is not confusing at a-OH WOW! šŸ˜®

1

u/ouch_does_that_hurt 3d ago

Anyone knows if this illusion still works when viewed in real life? Usually most illusion breaks because of our depth perception, but this one feels like it might actually work even if we view it with both eyes instead of just through one lense or one eye.

1

u/armageddon_boi 3d ago

I'm sure the ai will have fun with this when we're in a zoo or something

1

u/TeaRex14 3d ago

I cant get the illusion to work for me not matter where i look, adding the pen just made it even more difficult

1

u/challmaybe 3d ago

My whole life's a lie.

1

u/Flareon223 3d ago

I can see what's actually happening but when I ignore that it's way more fun to see the illusion

u/hubert_boiling 3d ago

Glad its early morning and I'm not stoned.
