I've seen that somewhere before, yeah, it's very cool. Don't know if there's a site to teach ya how to make it though. I've seen others of that kind too in person, they're neat.

Here you go (http://www.grand-illusions.com/opticalillusions/dragon_illusion/)

There's a link to download a .pdf file with a printout and instructions to put it together.

Pretty sure it's been posted on the site before. I think it's in the video section.

Yeah, you can download and print the cutout from that grand illusion link by Indras. I've made a few of these a while ago.

A lot of people might have trouble getting the right 'focus' to make the effect to work. I found you can make it work 100% of the time by putting the dragon at a bit of a distance, like 2 or 3 meters away, and then have people watch and walk past the dragon from that distance.

lol i thought it was gonna be a screamer too. I turned my sound way down and braced for it. Much better than a screamer though

I printed this and cut it out. It works very nicely.

Close one eye and look directly into the hollow face. Try viewing the dragon in a place with dim lighting, because shadows on the inside will tend to make your mind realize its true shape. Also, try to make your eye relax -- don't focus too hard or your mind will figure-out the trick.

The second I saw this thing moving, I just started laughing. It’s so cool!
