Check out the moving image on this page and see what way it spins for you. It started out counter-clockwise for me, then switched to clockwise. Now it seems to switch back and forth randomly! I have no idea how it works but it's pretty cool. http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,21598,22492511-5005375,00.html

That's brill!!
Was anti-clockwise at first, and thought.... 'feck, no way I could ever see it the other way... it just can't'.... then looked again, and it's clockwise!
Can't see it back now!

Here's a page of my favourite illusions.
Enjoy!

You do know that the right side of the brain controls your left side of your body vice versa. So if you see it going clockwise you are using your rightside of your brain.

TBH I think its bull.

I also saw it going clockwise then anti

The shadow goes both ways too.

For the first few revolutions she was going anti-clockwise, after that I could change it at will. Right now, she's swinging back.

Really? The shadow always goes anti clockwise for me, even if the woman is going clockwise.

She turns the opposite direction every time I click on the tab so different people will see different ones.

The shadow goes in whatever direction she's going in, it just looks like it's going a different way because of how it's projected.
