Can you see magic eye pictures? - Lemmy.World

As a not quite middle aged dude, I only just now figured out how to see magic eye stuff. I tried a couple times in elementary school but didn’t get it so I stopped. Had a few drinks earlier, stumbled on some magic eye pic that I could see clear as day and it blew my mind a little

Absolutely loved them as a kid! Had a quite a few books.

You can do them two different ways. The normal way with the objective popping out towards you and an inverted way with crossing your eyes that inverts the shape.

I’m pretty sure I did it the cross eyed way. I’m doo trunk to understand how to do it another way

Bring the page close to your nose, let your eyes kinda naturally loose focus from distance. Then slowly start to pull the page back and you should get it.

Kinda difficult to describe.

Check back when you are sober and see if you get it to work.

Maybe I have it mixed up then because the way I’m doing it is losing focus and letting it adjust until I see something. I thought I was going crosseyed but I didn’t have a mirror so I can’t be sure.

For the cross eye version you just need to hold out the page at normal viewing distance and cross your eyes till the 3d image pops.

Sounds like you are doing it the regular way. Which is the more difficult one for most people that have issues with magic eyes.

Glad you got to experience them!

I’m glad too, I have so many things to look at now lol

Here’s another one for ya! If you do it the right way you’ll clearly see the turtles head pop out towards you and with the cross eye way it’s quite difficult to recognize the head when it’s pushed backwards.

Haha that’s the pic that I looked at and realized I could do it
