You see a circle of violet dots. Each of them disappears in order, like moving in a circle.
Concentrate your sight at the cross, then you can see, how the violet dots disappear.
If you do it right, you can see that the green dot is moving.
If you keep looking, all violet dots will disappear and only the green dot will keep moving!
This has something to do with the way your brain percieves colours. Neat, isn’t it?

You’re hired as a banner designer for St. Patrick’s day fair. The requirement is that you must have 14 leprechauns on the banner. No more. No less.
You finished the banner at home, and the day before, you go to the fair to drop off the good. Due to windy weather, however, the banner tears apart into three pieces.
When you put the banner together, you realized that there are now 15 leprechauns on the banner.
Original banner:
The banners rip along the lines. This is the result when you put the pieces back together:
Don’t believe it? Click on the banners to view the full size and print the original out.

Focus on the dot in the center and watch the stuff around it disappear.

Focus on the feet. When the stripes are in the background, the feet seem out-of-phase, but when the striped background is gone, it seems like the opposite is true. In reality, their movement is always parallel.

Lilac chaser is a visual illusion that consists of 12 lilac (or pink or magenta-like), blurred disks arranged in a circle (like the numbers on a clock), around a small, black, central cross on a grey background. One of the disks disappears briefly (for about 0.1 second), then the next (about 0.125 second later), and the next, and so on, in a clockwise direction. When one stares at the cross for about 20 seconds or so, one first sees a gap running around the circle of lilac disks, then a green disk running around the circle of lilac disks, then a green disk running around on the grey background, the lilac disks having disappeared.
There are illusions like this around the internet, but this is the only one where you can play around with the colors. Enjoy!

Other sites have it, zymania (nor kalsiddon…nor pubic crabs), so I’ll do it before the others do it.
I’m talking about optical illusions. Everyday or so, I’ll post some optical illusions. Li’l’ eye tease. Here’s the first one: the perpetually ascending staircase.
Here’s a random picture just for the hell of it:
