Here are a couple in the same vein to get started.

Feel free to check these in paint.


The cross-sections of both crosses are the same color:



The green and blue spirals are the same color:



A and B are the same color:

Here are another two I like, these work by increasing your eyes' distance to your screen (may take a foot or two), or, for some people, by squinting.

Here's Marilyn/Einstein:



These two switch places:




This is not really an illusion, but have you ever seen an animated magic eye?

I never see anything in those magic eye things. What's the deal with them?

You see how the pattern repeats horizontally? Unfocus your eyes (look past your screen) until the pattern overlaps once. A part of the image should bulge out to form a separate image. Try it on a non-moving one first though.

Here's a kinda-sorta demonstration of what it should look like (without the movement of course), which is the hangup for most people I think.

Good ol' Jesus. Stare at it for 30 seconds without blinking and then look at something blank.

My mind always interprets it as some terrifying zombie.

Same principle, crazier effect:

Keep staring at the middle: the empty space should become green, and the pink dots should disappear.



Don't do this one late at night:

Cover the middle, it will go faster. Cover the outsides, it will go slower.

One last bump with some of the good stuff, maybe someone feels like contributing some more?

Gently shake your screen:



And two more in the same vein as before:

Haha, I thought it was a joke at first, but that it amazing. It takes at least 30 seconds and it didn't disappear completely for me, but it came very close.

The left side of that picture doesn't do it to me but the right side does, especially the bottom right corner.

It depends on how much contrast there is between the corners. This also works with colors, mixing blue and yellow to green spots. Can't find en example right now, sorry.

I hope necroing this thread is ok if the illusion is suitably crazy.
