Frazer's Spiral
An optical illusion is a visually perceived image that is deceptive or misleading.
Does this look like a spiral? It's actually a bunch of concentric circles. Use your mouse to trace one circle and you will see that you come back to where you started instead of spiraling into the center.

|
Posted by MattNate on Mar 09, 2006 what i meant was that since their simular its a little harder to see so its hard to know what they are.does anyone agree with me.i really like this one, send some more |
Posted by MattNate on Mar 09, 2006 sorry for spelling they're wrong |
|
Posted by MattNate on Mar 09, 2006 i don't think thats the only reason, i think the last ones come off the page what makes it look 3D,and i think peaple are used to that desine being a spirill |
|

|
Posted by mrfatbat on Mar 21, 2006 Do not eat before doing this one! what a strain on my poor brain |
|
Posted by lukeschett on Mar 21, 2006 I was too lazy to trace it but it still n00bz0rsed. |
|
Posted by Unstumpable on Mar 29, 2006 I♠LOVED♠IT! It was all the cooler though when i got my vison back after staring at if for 30 mins without tracing to see if i could get it. I still didn't get it until i traced it though, lol  Still, great one. I wish they updated more  |
|
Posted by calmsavior on Apr 07, 2006 actually the little stripes along the circles seem to form a spiral |
|
Posted by steverbeaver3 on Apr 09, 2006 coldfire: It probably has something to do with the stripes on the circles. DO you see how they curve in? Love it! |
|
Posted by bebo on Apr 14, 2006 creepy yet cool |
|
Posted by mrndcmch on Apr 22, 2006 awesome |

|
Posted by stang99 on May 16, 2006 I know, its just happening çause of the check pattern behind it. I can actually see the place where it changes the circle but the mouse never goes on it. It's great, pal. |
|

Posted by patm on Jun 08, 2006 Wow, I had to trace it three times, but it works. Really cool! |
|
Posted by Blackbelt92 on Jun 08, 2006 Lets look at this in a scientific way. Ok, so you're looking at a spiral. It completly appears to go downwards, creating an optical allusion to my mind. But is there more than just the downward spiral? That is the trick optical allusions have on your Dual-brain nerves, located at the top right and left-hand corner of your head. Dual Brain-nerves allow humans and most intellectually-functioning beings to think clearly. This is also why we feel dizzy and make unacurate comments like "my brain hurts". As you have just annalyzed, your brain does not actually hur, it is your dual brain nerves. Also, i still have no idea why they are called that, as the are not even close to being part of your brain, as they are located right below the thick head plating known as th skull. so just to clear up any inacurate speech, i wanted to inform you all of this. Also, The allusion was ok i guess, it is certainly not as good as others are saying, because it only held my attention for a minute, right before i figured it out. |
|
Posted by PinkyandBrain on Jun 10, 2006 oooo |
|
Posted by danielzerman on Jun 18, 2006 good spiral... just kiding |
|
Posted by Muzozavr on Jun 19, 2006 I traced it and yes, it's a serie of circles. BUT my mouse went to a wrong point lots of times. Wacky. Fun. Strong. What else do you need from an optical illusion? |
|
Posted by brits1994 on Jun 22, 2006 AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!I Love IT |

Posted by khedron on Dec 11, 2006 Does anyone know what the heck Blackbelt92 is talking about? |
|
Posted by shut_up on Dec 15, 2006 ok there has to be a catch to this thing really look at the middle it DOES! start spiraling it just looks like that cuz a certain part of the circles get close to each other its so obvious really only a genuis could figure that out DUH but cool illusion tho |
|
Posted by i_luv_2_read on Dec 21, 2006 oooooooooo......aaaaaaaaaaaaa my brain hurts.... |

Posted by xxilove_ihatexx on Jan 13, 2007 one word : woah |
|
Posted by bgil7604 on Jan 24, 2007 This is awesome. I would have never figured out they were concentric circles until I used my mouse to trace it. I'm still dizzy! |
|
Posted by freebush92 on Jan 29, 2007 we just learned about concentric circles in geometry...i never wouldve figured this out though! |
|
Posted by on Mar 09, 2007 Part of it is the background. The details get smaller towards the middle. And the circles are made up of black and white lines that make it look kind of like a ribbon that twists around. Look closely. |
|
Posted by cooltigerr1 on Mar 31, 2007 ooohhhhh another part that makes it confusing is the backround! lol this keeps me entertained and it doesnt do anything! |
|
Posted by alicexcore on Apr 03, 2007 Woah. That's pretty intense. 0_0 I had to trace it like ten times because I kept messing up. Dang. |
|
Posted by turtle on Apr 20, 2007 Nice one |

|
Posted by chiliwormeater4 on Jul 30, 2007 WOW that really was driving me crazy. I traced it with my mouse and it really does work. I saved the picture and used one of my programs that i made to check if the spiral is really centric circles or fake. |
|
Posted by Paranoia_Agent on Aug 15, 2007 I could sound smart and analyze why exactly the spiral appears as it does (as some others have) but why bother? It's a great optical illusion, who cares why it works the way it does! *it definitively hurt my eyes too O.o* |
|
