    Didn't know where to put this..

    Anyways, if i wasn't knee-deep in project work, i would try this!

    Watch the video! (1.5MB WMV)

    Print this (244K PDF) and follow the instructions to make your own.

    Nifty as 'ell!

    I imagine the fact that the light is behind the dragon in the video adds to the effectiveness of the illusion.

    The dragons head should be inside out ("hollow head illusions") Follow the folds in the head exactly as described in the instructions. It the opposite to the way you would intuitively make it.

    It really does work. Doesn't need any special lighting.

    You also need to view it with 1 eye. Which is why it works so well with a camera.

    Put it together just there... brilliant... works exactly like in the video :)
    I had to close one eye to 'get' it initially, but after I got used to seeing it I could use both eyes... works from pretty much any distance aswell.
    Gonna have a look for more of these :D
