The video for this is amazing. What’s more you can print it out and make it yourself. It’s sitting on my desk now, and my co-workers love it! It’s… well, it’s best seen, not described. Read on.
Reading on, I think I’ll move this thread to MPSIMS.

I have that!
Gaaaa! Make it stop looking at me!!!
Besides the rainbow slinkies and assorted squishies from trade shows that my co-workers love to play with?
No optical illusions here, but I do have a trebuchet on my desk. It’ll fling a piece of hard candy about 35 feet.
While not a toy or widget, my wood coffee mug gathers a little attention as well.
This is pretty cool, all right. I made one from your link.
Great, I should be writing a paper, but instead I’m making a paper dragon. And it won’t stop looking at me, telling me to work on the paper! Thanks for nothing!
Downloaded, cut, folded, and taped. Wow! This is beyond cool! And it’s free! Thanks for sharing this neat illusion.
I wasn’t paying attention at first, did the head completely backwards, and then said, “So what?” Then I read it again and went, “Oooooohhhh . . .”
Very cool! Thanks for making me waste even more valuable work time!
Just like those scarry owls that were in my gramoyther’s fireplace. God damn, did those things scare me! Burning owls that followed you around the room.
I made one too. Neato!
gah! the video kinda freaked me out…but I’m still going to make one on Monday when I have access to a color printer!
Cute little dragony friend…
OK, do all yours work as well as the one in the video? Cuz mind kinda works, but not nearly like the video one. What did I do wrong?
Mine works better than the video. Are you closing one eye?
Also try standing maybe 10 feet away, closing one eye, then walking up to it.
I just made mine, after much trial and error, and it freaks me out. Too cool.
Athena, I’ve found that it only seems to work when light shines on it (so that you can’t see any telltale creases).
Yeah, I have to either cross my eyes slightly or close one. Kind of like those “Magic Eye” illusions.
You must close one eye, at least with me. Otherwise it doesn’t work at all.
For me, it works better with one eye closed. But I can stare at it for a while until the figure “pops” out; then it works just as great with both eyes opened. It’s a bit eerie to say the least. This will stay on my desk for a while!
I think I’ve given myself a headache from staring at my dragon. Arrrgh.
