The original version of this illusion involved a piece of paper with this strange spiral on it, and you needed a method of getting the spiral to spin in order to create the illusion.

Now, thanks to the power of the computer, all the hard work has been done for you, and you can run the illusion right here on your screen.

You need to stare at the centre of the pinwheel for 30 seconds, and then look away from the screen. Wow!
Jerry Andrus invented this illusion, which he calls the Tri-zonal Space Warp!
