A short video about a cut-out dragon that fools the eye by being built backwards intead of forwards, giving the Optical illusion of movement.

Haha! Good one again man. Quite similar to the Einstein one, like the guy said.

I love illusions. They are a wonderful way to demonstrate that how we see the world is not always accurate.
