Except for the discs that generate an illusion due to the speed of the camera shutter, the others don't do anything for me. I have never been able to understand why optical illusions with my eyes do not work. My eyesight does not cooperate 😄

commenting on YT i now want to transfer a few of these to weighted circles and pop a fidget spinner bearing in them. my dad had many of these as tops.. but fidget spinners are just new tops pretty much.. :)

These are great! I keep wanting to comment in real time, because ive seen these before and want to help, but a lot of the half black, circles with arcs and stuff, do make colors, but they are usually a bit muddy of colors. and quite speed important. when done on tops they are often more interesting because you see the colors morph as it slows.

Really interesting. I’ve taken a couple of screenshots to make these with my daughter who loves this stuff. They are a bit off-angle, but it will be a fun project. Thanks for sharing.

My 4 month old loves staring at the fan, so I've thought about painting a spiral or pov pattern on it. I guess I could get one of those pov light kits put on it too...

Oh, man! I would love to see my cat look at these illusions! First I'd dope him up with catnip, then place him in front of these. What an acid trip it would be for him!

I always regretted there were no such discs for my Mathmos Oil Projector (like moiré effect etc), but the projections would probably not be sharp enough...
