Most illusions, like magic tricks, are ruined once you realize the simplicity of their functionality. It’s human nature to be despondent when learning how easily we can be hoodwinked.
@@Gonzas97 I keep switching between being able to see the illusion and being able to see what it really is, no matter how hard I focus. It's really cool!
I like how the illusion is revealed, and then you see it normally for a second, and then suddenly the dragon comes back alive and is staring into your soul again.
This would make a great concept for a horror game. You're stuck in an arcade full of illusion cardboard cut outs like this. But there are some illusions that are real and you have to find them.
I can switch between seeing the illusion and seeing it for what it really is by just telling my brain what to see. I think this is a very cool illusion! 😁
Yeah I can do the same thing and that's why I like the reveal of the illusions because then it gives me the option to switch between which is still really trippy
The dragon knows what you did all these years. It smiles not because it will tell everyone but that it knows you know that it could at any point, and just that little fact will drive you crazy.

Nope, focus on the CREASES and the inner shadows, and keep in mind that the textures are on the inside sort of speak (not on the outside). Then the illusion breaks.
Good god this unlocked childhood trauma. There’s one of these things at the science museum in Montréal, Canada. Always scared the hell out of me as a kid.
Every time I see the illusion, my brain forgets what it’s supposed to look like realistically. For some reason I can choose to see it for what it really is, but the second my brain snaps to the illusion it’s impossible to go back lmao
the illusion is so good that even when you're tracking the real matter of the shapes and trying to ignore the illusion, at the end when its fully facing you you just cant seem to shake off the illusion.
like you're tryna keep track of the illusion but then its just gone and it looks like a normal head facing you and you're just left speechless and going "when tf did that become a proper face"
I remember that as a kid I was so insane about this video, it's honestly so nostalgic to see it in my recommend again, I had completely forgotten about it
Same. I remember there was a printable template to make your own and I made it. It was taped together pretty jankily because I was still young, but it still worked lol.
For some reason I'm in between not being able to unsee it Like I saw how the illusion works, and what is there, but it's still not ruined imo I don't even know the right words to describe it
When i was like 10 years old i came across a DIY version of this illusion. So i printed it, cut it out and glued it altogether, saw it working a couple of times, got scared and threw it away.
I volunteer sometimes at a kids' science museum, and man, they would flip for this! I wonder how difficult it is to build an illusion? Thank you for the video ❤
As soon as the camera goes to the other side, the illusion stops for me. However, after about an hour of not watching the video, my brain sees the illusion again even though I already know the spacial configuration.
That is insane. I got depressed for a second after I was disillusioned because I couldn't trick my brain into seeing the moving head again 😅 It's okay, I eventually got it 👍
my school had one just like this same colour and everything in the corner of the entrance. It used to freak the parents out just as much as the children😂
Ah the Franklin institute. The door in the back is the supply room and I walked by this guy many times while I went to fetch stuff while working for the summer camp there. Always made sure to shut one eye as I walked past to trigger the illusion. He's my buddy.
I remember seeing this when I was like 10 years old. I used to watch it on some off-brand kids CZcams site on loop because I thought it was so cool. Here I am, years later, haven't even thought about this thing in years, and I see it get recommended to me. I was hit with a nostalgia blast from a creepy/goofy lookin cardboard dragon. Surreal.
This was wild! At first my brain was short-circuit by how it's possible and then once the illusion was revealed, it's like the spell broke and no matter how many angles to video took I could only see it for what it really was
I always loved illusions like this, but that is so freaking creepy.
Layton, I've got a puzzle for you.
...
...actually nevermind, I don't.
What do you mean? He looks so polite!
It’s giving me 5 Nights at Freddy’s vibes 😅
I think it's the eyes. Too human and look like they're bulging out of their sockets. If it was an animal's eyes it probably wouldn't be that bad.
Just looks goofy imo
Woah that’s trippy. But when you see how it actually is it kind of ruins the illusion 😅
Not for me)
Its not trippy at all
@@kentytofficiald4129 sure it is. Don’t try to be a hardass and lie about it
Most illusions, like magic tricks, are ruined once you realize the simplicity of their functionality. It’s human nature to be despondent when learning how easily we can be hoodwinked.
@@kentytofficiald4129wtf if your pfp
Fun fact: You can train your brain to ignore the illusion then train it to see it either as the illusion or as how it really is on command.
Props to the artist, this is amazing.
The right turn in the end is so creepy
the moment when the illusion is revealed is really trippy, like the brain doesn't know what to make of it so it hallucinates for a split second
Yeah! Its annoying! I wanna see the illusion only again ahahaha
@@Gonzas97 I keep switching between being able to see the illusion and being able to see what it really is, no matter how hard I focus. It's really cool!
When I seen it start turning into that box thing my eyes started hurting.
@@Gonzas97 leaving the video and coming back to it 1 or 2 minutes later works for me, seems to reset the brain
Look it in the eyes to reset it easily
I love how you can choose to see the illusion or not, the brain and pattern recognition are so cool
When they showed the other side, my brain stopped seeing the illusion :(
@@Moses255337 focus on the jaw/snout
@@mirosymo3331 that made it worse lol. For some reason I am able to see it again after not watching the video for about an hour.
@@Moses255337 well darn sorry, worked for me after a minute
Maybe its because someone else told u
@@mirosymo3331 found a way to make it work. Standing farther away 😂
Why do I always have creepy recommendations at night?
once you see it you can never see it ever again
I like how the illusion is revealed, and then you see it normally for a second, and then suddenly the dragon comes back alive and is staring into your soul again.
The camera has 0 depth
It's as if its showing you and then changing back
This would make a great concept for a horror game. You're stuck in an arcade full of illusion cardboard cut outs like this. But there are some illusions that are real and you have to find them.
@@taelin-rh3wi Yes!!
People still comment wow! It's so cool for the illusion
I can switch between seeing the illusion and seeing it for what it really is by just telling my brain what to see. I think this is a very cool illusion! 😁
Explanation for anyone else, you just focus your attention on the eyes of the dragon and the illusion is restored.
Same
I love doing that when I can lol
same
Yeah I can do the same thing and that's why I like the reveal of the illusions because then it gives me the option to switch between which is still really trippy
The Human instinct for recognising the faces of dangerous beasts is so hardwired.
A great demo of how illusions can be more with a lack of depth perception.
The dragon knows what you did all these years. It smiles not because it will tell everyone but that it knows you know that it could at any point, and just that little fact will drive you crazy.
What a wild thing to be in the group seeing this again after a decade
Who are you?
*loads shot gun with secretive intent* smile, i dare you.
blackmail

That is amazing. You filmed it so well also.
YESSS the illusion itself is a masterpiece, but the way he filmed it so perfectly played a HUGE part to the effect as well. Well done!
@@SyenPie I've seen this exact illusion so many times but this filming made it so much more trippy then when I saw it in person
Right!
this was 10 years ago 😂😂😂
@@bloxzy7933 feels like ten seconds to me not years
The ingenuity of this thing is immaculate
This reminds me of how some children’s toys or plushies have eyes that look like they always stare at you
For me, this is an unbreakable illusion. Even after knowing how it works I can't unsee it.
Same.
It is the opposite for me. My brain figured it out and now I am trying to see it again but it won't work.
@@trendy8930 focus on the eyes.

So THAT'S where i remember it from! I completely forgot about that, lol. 😂
Pitbull named Kindness watching every toddler’s step from 50 miles:
when you revealed how the illusion works I can no longer unsee it
No matter how hard I try, my brain chooses to see the illusion, even after seeing how it works lol.

Try to focus on the angles deep in its head , you should see it just flat afterwards :d

When the illusion is so good that you can’t stop seeing it even after knowing the secret.
Right! When it turns back around, I can’t see it anymore! 😮
Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
So cool! It's funny how the brain tries to decode how it works and once you figure it out it uses that reference.
Even when it's revealed how this illusion is created my brain can't break the illusion
Yeah you can but it is really difficult
for me,it's ez,but once i know how it works, i can't see the illusion like how i see it at the first time
It's easier when you stare in between the eye part. That's where the illusion falls apart for me
I love how you can literally feel your brain shifting😂
Yes, literally. I get a light headed, tingling sensation for a brief moment. Really weird. Never had an illusion produce a physical reaction before🥴
@@jabrokneetoeknee6448 that’s exactly what it felt like😂

Even after realizing it’s an illusion, if I blink I get caught up in it for a few seconds again, truly impressed!
this old illusion. love it. glad youtube is recommending it to everyone
I loved how people comment on such videos after 10 years of it's upload
I remember that as a kid I was so insane about this video, it's honestly so nostalgic to see it in my recommend again, I had completely forgotten about it
Same. I remember there was a printable template to make your own and I made it. It was taped together pretty jankily because I was still young, but it still worked lol.
The amount of fear this illusion must have inspired in the hearts of unknowing children astounds me
Wanted to say the same about your pfp but then I looked more closely
Your pfp is a illusion itself . Super cool effect. Looking closer I realize it's not in fact Jeff the killer lol 😆
Lol Jeff anime girl
👉😎👉
I love that this just show up in my recommendations after 10 years
Dam, I wasn't expecting this to actually be an illusion.
For some reason
I'm in between not being able to unsee it
Like I saw how the illusion works, and what is there, but it's still not ruined imo
I don't even know the right words to describe it
i spent a good 5 minutes trying to control my ability to see and not see the illusion and it's so inconsistent and odd
I just stared at it hard enough then it became the same optical illusion as before
@@bidoof1337 stare at the edges
@@bidoof1337 if you look right below the right ear its easy to spot

Love how this is being recommended after 10 years
This illusion has probably scared a ton of kids
After seeing both the illusion and reality over and over again, I've reached seeing what it really is while also seeing the illusion..
Awww he looks like a good boi just standing next to you wanna get compliments 🥺🥺
bruh this dragon is a little scary, enough to make me think it was some kind of a horror animation at first
"Come closer, I don't bite."
It's all fun and games till the head turn 360° in you
"In"🤨
I loved this museum as a kid!
Bro's got the "no maidens?" stare
When i was like 10 years old i came across a DIY version of this illusion. So i printed it, cut it out and glued it altogether, saw it working a couple of times, got scared and threw it away.
Imagine making one of these but it looks 5x more scary and threatening 😭
A perfect evil statue to put at your villain's castle.
I remember seeing this video a long time ago. The algorithm had brought me back
Dragon be giving that bombastic side eye 😂
That's scary as hell.
Crazy how it's so simple yet it tricks our mind
I went there over winter break this year! I didn’t see the illusion work while I was there, but I do in this video for some reason. Thanks!
Everybody gangsta until that thing says "Hello there."
Damn I can't unsee what it actually is now
0:05 King Harkinian from the Zelda CD-I games reaction in the background 😂
My elementary school teacher gave us a small, paper version of this dragon. Miss those days 💔
I love how you can switch between tricking your eyes to see the illusion, and break the illusion and see the actual thing
Even when I know how it works it’s extremely hard for my brain to not see the illusion 👀😂.
I like how this video used to have 100k views but after a few weeks it has now 1 million views
When I replayed the video for a while I couldn't see the optical delusion again lol
I volunteer sometimes at a kids' science museum, and man, they would flip for this! I wonder how difficult it is to build an illusion?
Thank you for the video ❤
bro its been like 2 years since ive seen this and my brain still remembers it too bad that the illusion doesnt work anymore

See the eyes, simple explanation
The definition of once you see it you can’t unsee it
Yep, probably gonna have a few nightmares about that thing.
That is still way too horrifying.
That’s trippy AF. Great camerawork though.
That dragon is terrifying, especially with the teeth and eyeballs staring into my soul.
Props to the kid who went "UH OH, UH OH"
This looks like this is in a children’s museum… honestly I would’ve been horrified by this as a kid lol
😂😂 I think a lot of us would’ve, tbh he looks like quite friendly, imagine if they did it with something a lot creepier
It's even more trippy after you see how it works
That's creepy but at the same time an awesome illusion
I thought it was an animatronic at first until i seen it was a cardboard cutout
That is both horrifying and awesome
This is the kind of thing is would be fun to show to a medieval peasant just to watch them freak out for a few seconds until they realize.
I want to show this to a Victorian child and see how they would react
If you look at it's eyes, you can even see all the little kids that got traumatized by it, a great feature indeed.
So crazy
I really like these types of things, also that circle in the back looks wild
That is insane. I got depressed for a second after I was disillusioned because I couldn't trick my brain into seeing the moving head again 😅
It's okay, I eventually got it 👍
my school had one just like this same colour and everything in the corner of the entrance. It used to freak the parents out just as much as the children😂
imagine seeing this alone at night
Geez imagine being locked up with this thing at night.
I replayed the video and the illusion was still broken like holy shit
Omg I remember my class in the Philippines getting so excited over this that we printed a similar design and gawked over it 😂 Man this is nostalgic
Yeah it was Soo cool... And hi fellow pinoy
Not the kid screaming "DaAaAdDYyYyYy" 💀
10 years ago? Well, at least attention is being brought to this now 😂

Creepy, however if you know how it works and blink often enough while thinking about its true shape you can unsee it for a while.
