lol anyone who believes it are gullable like hell, you cant just completely make that change direction lol

yes you can :S don't speak unless you know what you're on about.

Just watch the leg which is stuck out and keep imagining it's going the other way and it does it. It doesn't automatically switch, trust me.

I've managed to make it stop before. Oh and proof that it is an illusion, show somebody else and ask then which way it's spinning. Recording on your phone does nothing as it's the way your mind percieves it.

Recording it on your phone proves that it does not switch as part of the animation, as it switches in yor head it does so in the phone too.

It looks like switches, I watched it for about 2 minutes and it kept switching../. meh

[LoveToStack]

its meant to switch, the point is its your mind can see it going either way.

People saying things like 'it switches', no it doesn't.

Your mind can make it switch, but the animation only goes one way, hence why it's an illusion.

its not fake lol

[Hitman]

Yeah it doesn't switch (well, in your mind it does), watch the feet and the shadow.

No really, it's programmed to change direction, watch closely.
