Cover the middle of the corridor and the animation speeds up; cover the sides and it slows down

I like the Ferris Wheel illusion the most.
The monster face for sure!
Jesus - that shit is disturbing.
I made the third one my desktop wallpaper. Within 1 hour, 2 co-workers have asked if I could please either change it or at least keep programs open so they can't see it as they walk past. A true testament to its brain-breaking awesomeness

My boss just asks me to keep programs open so he knows I am doing work and he doesn't have to fire me.
Arrgh, my eyes!
How is the eye sink an optical illusion?
The spiral one is great.. warps time and space :)
Stare at the spiral one for 20 seconds and then look at ANYTHING, I especially liked looking at paintings on my walls.
To think some people pay large sums of money to get the same effect while damaging their bodies.
Drugs are better. You should try them some time.

Can someone point out what I'm missing with the final illusion?
me too it is moving ever sooo very slightly but nothing compared the rollers ...
Yeah, nothing for me either.
Oh man. My eyes.
That monster one was f***ed
