Astonishing Illusion

[Caution: Do not perform this illusion if you suffer from Extreme Short-sightedness]

Step 1: Hold your left Thumb midway between the screen and your face so that just above the tip of your thumb you see the bolded word on this line.

Step 2: Keep your thumb in that position. Now tilt your head 5 inches to your left (if you are left-handed). If you are right handed, then tilt 5 inches to your RIGHT so that the bolded word on this line is just above your line of sight.

Step 3: Now comes the tricky part :) SLOWLY move your thumb from current position towards your nose (whilst looking at it) until you can kind of see your one thumb become 2 blurry thumbs. For most folk this equates to an absolute minimum of about 8 centimetre (3 inch) distance from your nose.

Step 4: Now, your head should STILL have been tilted slightly. If it wasn't then those idiot folk will have to go back to step 2. Everybody else: Now tilt your head in the opposite direction and then back and close your eyes for about 5 seconds. When you open them, then click here to be astonished.

 

HAHA, GOTCHA

The Only 'Astonishing' Thing About This 'Illusion' was the fact that you fell for it.



I just hope you weren't sitting near other folk while doing this illusion. God knows what they must have thought you were doing...all that thumb waving as though you were some sort of Picasso wannabee, and all that head tilting as if auditioning for a part on Crufts...or *shudder* looking at stuff you damn well shouldn't be looking at!!!

You are an absolute idiot (heck, I even BOLDED those words for you and you still couldn't figure it out!)

OK, Now is the time to get even. Play this practical joke on your friends. After clicking the button below, include a little message in the comments part saying something like: "Hey I found an amazing Illusion for you to try. You'll be astounded!" ALSO, if they happen to be in the office, or in a computer lab or near other folk it looks even better...
