I know I’m late, but that spinning dancer illusion is driving me nuts! I’ve never seen it before, and I get the effect. Heck, I can see it spinning both ways. But I can’t get my mind to switch directions like most of those types of illusions. I have to look away or close my eyes to reset, and choose the direction I want to see beforehand. For some reason, that’s driving me up the wall! How is that illusion so effective!?!

According to Joel, they filmed with themselves facing the camera, then blacked out in sillouhette.
