Love the second image.
Try and make your way around this maze without getting a headache.
Mind-bending optical illusion to find the spots causes your eyes to play tricks on you
Updated 11:17, 12 Sep 2016By Kirstie McCrum
If you're feeling a little unsteady this morning, be warned - this spot-the-dots game will leave you queasy as you try and solve it
Magic eye pictures, optical illusions - there are many ways our eyes can be tricked by something which appears to be in front of us.
And this picture is a real case in point.
The trick is to spot all the dots, as they occur on the crossover where diagonal lines meet vertical and horizontal.
But the grid's a tricky one because your eyes actually cannot take in all 12 back dots at the same time.
The image was posted online by games developer Will Kerslake , who saw his tweet take off with more than 8,600 retweets.
"There are twelve black dots at the intersections in this image. Your brain won’t let you see them all at once," he said.
The science behind the image was explained when a puzzle like it was first published in the journal Perception in 2000 .

I don't think I've seen one like that before!
... On looking up I noticed the rather disconcerting illusion that the copper clad area at the top of the towers was not three dimensional - but looked for all the world more like a painted backcloth added to a real structure, flat and lacking in depth. ...

I've got as far as 12 spots so far but not all at the same time .. do I win anything ?
reminds me of the up market printed fabric covers you get for scaffolding.... good spot Spookdaddy!
at night...flat as a pancake.
Clever cut shot. Very well done too.How did he do it ? only perspective ? .. I'd call that a sophisticated perspective trick but I'm more interested personally in the cards growing in the hand illusion technique ?
I didn't spot a film cut in it .. like a hidden edit ?Clever cut shot. Very well done too.
I can't either.I didn't spot a film cut in it .. like a hidden edit ?
I don't think so .... perspective tricks .. I just can't work out the angles in my head, I think the table top is the starting point to this illusion, it's usually foreground but buggered if I know .. one clue is that it looks like it was filmed with reverse photography (spot the cards on the ground at the very last second seeming to raise up and into his hands ?) ... this is at least partially a reverse engineered effect (on camera) IMO, we might be able to work out the rest of the trick from there ..I can't either.
Maybe there was a bit of digital compositing with digital elements overlaid to smooth the transition?
