For more information about my work, visit richardwiseman.wordpress.com/ Music by Cameron Watt Special thanks to Mark Setteducati for his wonderful 'squares' image
The brain convinces itself that it is a white square under a shadow. Hence it has to be lighter color. That's because the brain is accustomed to processing the scene as a whole, not in pieces.
you’ll probably never see this but i’d like to let you know how much of an impact this video and later your whole channel had on my childhood development and interests. thanks for the good memories
for some reason the spiral illusion never works for me even though i want it to. Edit : It's been 4 years since i made this comment, and sadly, nothing has changed. It still didn't do anything. Update : It's been 7 years since i made this comment, and looking at the back of my hand still doesn't do anyting for me. I have however discovered that looking directly at a black screen makes strange white lines similar to lightspeed warp in sci-fi movies appear in the dark. No hand expansion as said by other commenters though.
I think the dots are all white. When you focus on one dot, the other dots seem grey. When you focus on that other dots, it turned back to white and suddenly other dots become grey again. The cycle keep going. 🤔
Whoever says there hands look normal, you have to stare at the centre and not blink, if u blink yout eyes won't capture the illusion, still if u can't, get an appointment with eye doctor
@@muskanchugh6858 I guess everyones brain works a little different. Even if an illusion works for 99% of people, there will always be the ones, that experience it differently. It's a bit like hypnosis. It works, but not with everybody.
I wasn't well kinda looking at the spiral I needed to blink so I did it again this is what happened I really don't know if this was it but my hand grew bigger and bigger (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
U can't look at the swirls u have't to look at the sender. It make your hand go bigger. If u look at the sender of the spiritual without blinking it lasts longer
The last one where you stared at the spiral I wanted to look away because the guy says keep staring at it than he pauses then says it again, I thought I was gonna get jumps cared!!! But all I got was a bigger hand.
Woah, something's up with your brain wiring. Not that that's a bad thing, but that's really fucking cool. They looked like two separate colors to me...
ronnie herrera I was watching a video on why they look different to most people, it said that your brain sees the pattern and sees the shadow, your brain knows that it's supposed to look like two different colors so it automatically makes it look like two different colors... Did any of the other illusions not fool you? The neat fact that the two shades looked the same to you is very curious... to me anyway, I'm a nerd about this kind of stuff I guess :/
i got soo scared that something wass gonna pop out at the last one.. so i read some comments to make sure nobody said something popped up.. then i did it.. cool!!
When i did if you concentrate closely your hand gets bigger then smaller bigger then smaller only when you concentrate on the spiral the exactly on your hand
"Keep staring at the center of the spiral"
*literally moves it*
yea but did you see anything in your hand cause i didnt
@@robertoherkules8109 nope
🤪 L I T E R A L L Y 🤪
It works with a computer screen, not a phone, phone screens are too small
The shading squares one was ridiculous, it’s unbelievable how easy my mind can be tricked
it didn’t trick me, though the beginning one tricked me sto hard that I could not convince myself otherwise unless they were right next to eachother.
It's called light constancy
The brain convinces itself that it is a white square under a shadow. Hence it has to be lighter color.

was i the only one who thought the spiral was a jumpscare troll?
lol
Purple Pikachuz me XD
Purple Pikachuz me too everytime he says dont take yours eyes off the spiral i will pause the video
I did too
😂😂😂
To be completely honest, I did t00
=-]
Watching the spiral in the dark. I got trolled when I was told to look at the back of my hand.
Lol
Lmao same i had to turn my phone’s flashlight but still nothing happened haha
Your hand appears to be expanding if you focus on one area of your hand
SAME
SAMEEE
For those asking what the spiral does to your hand, it effects your vision in a way that makes your hand appear swirling, or even longer
for me it just made some whooshy lines moving out of the center of my hand, but not in a spiral shape
It only works with a computer screen, nowadays everyone watches this video on their phones, so it doesn't work
Me: *looks at spiral then looks at hand*
"WOAH!!! I NEED TO SHAVE!!!
Underrated
🤣🤣 wtf
Truly an underrated comment😂😂
One of the very first few to do this
YO WTF SAME

"Look at the central of spiral"
Oh god plz no jump scares
The last one feels like you're high...
SMOKE WEED EVERYDAY
I thought at the end of the spiral thing was a jumpscare. Coz its creepy w the music at the background.
omg I did too lol
Same
Yeh I know. I love and hate illusions at the same time. Coz there cool but creepy.
I know
yeah
I dont get the "grey dots" arent the "dots" white?. Im so confused.
For some, the eyes infer the dots you aren't focused on are gray, even though they are all white.
Charlie Scientist they appear white then grey then white then grey its kinda weird but cool tbh
I think the dots are all white. When you focus on one dot, the other dots seem grey. When you focus on that other dots, it turned back to white and suddenly other dots become grey again. The cycle keep going. 🤔
when i look at the dots they turn gray and fade into white
Whoever says there hands look normal, you have to stare at the centre and not blink, if u blink yout eyes won't capture the illusion, still if u can't, get an appointment with eye doctor
did that... checked with the eye doc too... still no spiral :)

You have to really concentrate. It looks as if your hand is getting bigger and smaller.
***** oh. Okay. Thanks for the advice. But if the , an would stop talking, then i would.
Same here
U can't look at the swirls u have't to look at the sender. It make your hand go bigger. If u look at the sender of the spiritual without blinking it lasts longer

Me too
Woah, something's up with your brain wiring. Not that that's a bad thing, but that's really fucking cool. They looked like two separate colors to me...

They looked exactly the same to me, too
Idk if it's because im special or something, but those spiral illusions NEVER work on me...
***** for me it appeared as though the back of my hand was rigid and moving.

i dont get it with the gray dots... i still saw them and i could count them
Ikr
Look at a white one and look at other ones in the corner of your eye. They should appear grey
Its your poripial vision n easy way to do it was to look at the first dot at the top left corner
zan colja good
zan colja Actually, there are no grey dots there in reality.
My hand.... It's ALIVE!!!!
Hi Pinkamena! Please don't kill me.
Its already alive, get your facts right
Pinkie is talking to you pinkiemena
