There is a good reason why the figure is in black. The illusion doesn't work if this was a real figure or if it was If we could see the actual surface of the figure. No one has seemed to have noticed that depending on which "direction" the figure moves, the outstretched leg is different. If you see the figure rotating clockwise then the right leg is outstretched while if the figure is rotating anti-clockwise then it is the left leg that is outstretched.

Its not spinning at all.
This is an advanced and very well done form of an older optical illusion, Spoiler for image:
I don't have an animated version, but the idea is its two black boxes, the smaller one would shift back and forth in a manner so that it slows down slightly when it reaches the edges. this causes the brain to think its a 3d object, and creates a third invisible axis where the box is "swinging around" when in reality its just strafing. The illusion comes from the two ways your mind can see this: either you will imagine a nonexistent Z axis where "it" swings behind itself first and then in front of itself ( you will hallucinate it swinging counterclockwise ) or you will imagine it with it swinging in front of itself first, causing it to appear clockwise. like xris said, it works because its black. Your mind creates a light source behind it and a 3d image is born from the shadows. |

Its quite weird. At first i see that it is spinning anti-clockwise then i read some text when i go back again, it is spinning clockwise and i can't perceive it to turn ACW. So i go read some more and then it turn ACW. But i cannot control how i perceive it no matter how hard i try (I even got a slight headache looking at it). I have to leave it and come back to the image to get it change.

When I first saw the image it was turning clockwise, but then after minutes of wracking my brain I was finally able to see it counterclockwise . Now I have the ability to see it clockwise, counterclockwise and half at will, though I still default to clockwise.
