It's not a trick, if you're wondering. There actually is something to see.

This is my wierd superpower: I can see these things at a glance. shrug I was hoping for superstrength...

The key is not to cross the eyes but to let your eyes blur.

Oh my god. I finally did it. After over 30 years I finally got to see one of these. Thank you friend. I saw it so clearly for like 10 seconds.

Diverge ie focus behind the screen.

Me too, but only by going cross-eyed, so instead of a butterfly, I see a butterfly shaped hole.

I think that's just what this kind looks like. I never see them as anything but a hole, or maybe like layers of cut paper separated from each other.

Edit: nope, I'm wrong. There's a difference between doing it cross-eyed and doing it... Whatever the opposite of cross-eyed is. I just did it both ways; one pops out and ones a hole.

Pentagrammed eyes

So far I counted 4 outcomes depending on how I'm adjusting my eyes:

  1. Single pop out.
  2. Triple pop out.
  3. Some funky quad pop out that lasted a second.
  4. Single drop in.

You can get triple and quad drop ins as well.
