If you're having trouble, open the photo, place your nose on the screen and pull away slowly.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! NEVER been able to see these but with your advice and this selection I could :-)))
TinyAngryDragon
I had one of these books as a child and I practiced so much that I can do it almost instantly. Yay for weird obsessions.
thepenisqueen
Yes I remember them, they were all on FP about a week ago.
ThatRandomCanadian
I was happy I could still immediately make these work, but now I have a bit of a headache.
Notanothersitetospendallmytimeon
+1 for Dickbutt, I genuinely laughed out loud!

It's a schooner!

Ha ha ha ha. You dumb bastard. It's not a schooner... it's a Sailboat.

You have no idea how much I needed that. Calmed my mind and gave me a little chuckle. Thank you.

My power came from these. As I trained my eyes to spot it faster and faster, I didn't realize it made me super fast to spot the differences.

Thank you! Had no idea what the “dickbutt” image was. And there was no way I was googling that!

sufferinsuccotash
I always find its easier to cross your eyes then slowly uncross them to see the image
cbog
Have you noticed that there’s a difference though? The crossing-your-eyes method results in an engraving, where the image is below the 1/2
cbog
background. The focusing-far-away method results in a bas relief, which I think is the way you’re “supposed” to see the image. 2/2

Huh...never noticed. Thats weird

I do remember these... the last one's new, though.
JustinUT79
It's like riding a bike... Once you learn how to see them, you can do it years and years later still. I love 'em
JustinUT79
Yes, exactly! Good point.

They're called steriograms. There are a few online generators

Anytime I try it they dont pop out at me...rather they always seem indented
ZleckV2
I used to be able to see it both ways when i was a kid, but i cant remember how i did it. Now i can only see the item pop out
Corrodias
You may be doing it backward. You're supposed to let your eyes point outward (or straight) rather than cross inward.
sothisishowashitpostfeelslike
Same for me. I never managed to get them the right way round.
IceWeaselX
That's how they work. It's like the 3D image is carved out of a block and you're looking in.
VonSnootingham
It's actually not. You're intended to let your eyes unfocus, then the image pops out. If you do the cross eye method, it sinks in like that.
elfishy360
I've always found the cross eyed version is sooo much clearer
sok6
I'm the same - it's because I cant let my eyes go unfocused like you're supposed to, but cross my eyes just enough for it to work in reverse

It was 3 geometric shapes. I paused the movie to check :)

Glad I wasn’t the only one.

3D circle, square, and triangle!
NacLac
I have never been able to get one of these to work. I always wonder if anyone else can or if they just say they see it.
TheChandrian
I’ve never seen one either. But I have double vision, so I’ve always assumed that was to blame.
KneeDeepInCatNip
The idea is that you focus on a focal point that would be further away than the image and in doing so, your eyes blend it. Loved these!
SleepyGary
I showed one to my bf the other day, I could see it no problem but no matter how hard he tried he just couldn't see it
ZeroPersonalityDisorder
I've never been able to see these either.
jwingZ
Can you force double vision? Like the trick where you put your fingertips together and make the floating finger hotdog?
Tajik
Last one is dick butt. I can see them
Memnoch112
When they got published it was said that about 6% of us wouldn’t be able to see the 3D image
studog2010
I've always been able to do this. Started when I was a kid with a chain link fence, and one of those store-wall pegboards. #2 is a giraffe.
duckman902
Same, i can do them instantly and friends never believed me. They just said i memorized the answers at the back of the books.

The dickbutt at the end makes me wish I couldn't see them all. :(

I'm nearsighted with slight astigmatism. I can't do it wearing glasses or contacts.

I got these working for the first time very briefly! Then my eyes focused and I cannot seem to recreate it now. Sad times! It was magical
clevernametom
I used to love these as a kid and was able to see most of them. As an adult I can’t seem to
Neutroniumwave
Oh, we can see them.
squibler
1. Place fne close to face, focus and look at a election in your phone screen. 2. Whlst blinking, move fone away from , look at reflection.
amorgan1
Cross your eyes so that the repeating pattern overlaps. Your eyes should adjust and focus. Then you’ll see the image.
Bjunksss
Pretend you’re looking out a window and then focus on the glass.
megagreg
It's a horizontally repeating pattern. Cross your eyes enough to line the pattern up with itself, but one section over. Aim on a target.
TheFashionGuy1
Never worked for me either
Hahoolah
I just recently learned to view these things properly. Up until then I crossed my eyes. Only problem is that the pic is inverted that way...
ProphetofEntropy
ive never had a single one work for me.
WhatisaYute
I do it by crossing my eyes, the slowly uncrossing them. Once they’re almost uncrossed, while my vision is unfocused and still doubled...1/2
WhatisaYute
The outline of the hidden image starts to appear, still doubled. Then I focus on the “raised” 3D edges of it and it becomes 1 image. 2/3
WhatisaYute
Thing you’re looking for is like 2 pieces of paper, held 1 in front of the other. The 1 closest to you is a stencil, the back 1 is whole.
AlexSomething
It's the same thing with the 3DS' 3D and to an extent, 3D movies, some people are unfortunate and hate/can't enjoy them. Glad that I can.
Selerox
#6 is considerably more difficult.
emscode3
I've never been able to do it with the nose on screen trick. I just stared, trying to criss-cross my eyes until it pops into frame
emscode3
Also, mine always looks like the image is inside. Pushed deeper into the image instead of popping out

Relax your pupils
Rauca
You're not alone. Spent many hours trying to see them when they first hit popularity.
decorativemooseknuckle
When I was young, the "adults" got a big one of these and said i wasn't going to do this so it became my mission to get good at these

Now I have a useless talent
TheJokeWrecker
It's ok, not everyone has an internal monologue
TomTheSouthGerman
I am just flexing some eye muscle and the patterns overlap and i see the 3d image. Love these still.
fedeColorTerror
You might just lack stereovision on some level. It's pretty common. My bf is the same. He had crossed eyes when a kid and it left him a lazy
fedeColorTerror
eye. It's very probable that it's the reason why he can't see these images.
LateNightBunnyParty
My husband has said the same thing, haha. Neither He nor our kid can see them. They pop right out at me though.
jovialn
I can see them and I can see them as 3D in front of plane as well as a 3D mold inside a plane.
Illuyankas
With practice you can separate the image created by both of your eyes into two separate images, and then overlap similar shapes in 1/x
Illuyankas
what's in front of you and have them match up, which for magic pictures creates an image. Repeating patterns are a good practice source 2/x
Illuyankas
but if you CAREFULLY press on one eyelid you can create the separate image effect manually. Just match up the similar pattern and boom! 3/3
Illithidbane
I can, but only backwards. Every time, the shape is a hole instead of popping outward.
BigEasyZuka
Stare at a wall across the room, then move your phone in front of your face and slowly focus on the picture. Part way there it will snap.
Stormblade
You have to focus behind the image. Don't focus on the screen, focus your eyes as though you're looking at something further away.
Ringshadow
I can see them at will. Just vaguely defocus my eyes.
MalukuSeito
Same, I can just cross my eyes at-will
Business6
I've never tried to do these on a screen before. Sure as hell can't do it on my phone but they're easy in person
Temyari
It feels uncomfortable to do it at first but it's a blend between adjusting the focus point of your eyes & straight up crossing them
dragonscalecornflakes
It’s harder without my glasses, but the trick is to let your eyes focus beyond the image. It feels like you’re going crosseyed.
conchure
Same
NDobz
Pretty much what the instructions say. Put nose on screen (and lose your focus) and as you pull away try to stop your eyes from focussing.
NDobz
Then hold it a few inches away from your face and you should start to see the image! Once you see it you can find it easier next time.
NDobz
Once you get the hang of it they become a bit addictive. (Just spent 10 mins looking at all of these) curse you op for that last 1!
sweetlittlebee
Start out with your nose close to it and slowly pull the picture away. Your eyes will kind of start to cross. Stay with it, try again if
sweetlittlebee
your vision goes back to normal. Try to let your eyes just relax.
CallMeIshmael1MoreTimeNPowInTheKisser
First time it worked for me doing it this way. Yea. They're beautiful and cool.

Butterfly, giraffe, I <3 you, butterfly, flower, penis or upside down supermodel?, concentric circles, dickbutt.
katychla
My tip is cross your eyes slightly and let the pieces 'lock'. Find one part and cross your eyes so it overlaps it's matching neighbor
EmissaryofGondor
Are you colorblind by chance?
gottakeepgoing
Practice this, and start with the blue ones, easiest to see. https://coolopticalillusions.com/crazy/images/floating_sausage_finger.gif
anyofmany
I can see the magic eye pictures instantly- but I don‘t know what I am supposed to see in that picture
gottakeepgoing
If you point your two fingers at each other and cross your eyes a little, you make a little floating finger float between them.
gottakeepgoing
They have to be practically touching though, and the size will vary depending on how you are crossing your eyes. Helped me learn magic eye.
TisIChenoir
I just squint and when my eyes go back to normal I see the forms. Understanding what they are though...
Blud4BludGod
Your prob not going cross-eyed enough. Every time I do one I do a ramp up where I can't get it, then cross my eyes enough to make my...

sweetnaivety
I was actually going TOO cross eyed.. I saw 3 different 3D images in the first one
Blud4BludGod
You're* ugh
Klaaism
Theres techniques which mostly boil down to un-focusing your eyes. The difference between focusing on something close up, and 1/2
Klaaism
focusing on something further away. Tricky because people do this subconsciously. 2/2
FCPRug
Honestly, until today I thought the exact same thing but today I managed it. 25 years I couldn't. It is possible and very cool!
PoppaBigBear
harder on mobile but on pc, cross your eyes, move back and force, you're not looking at the image, you un-focus and mix 2 images.
DeadHamster
Jesus this comment got a lot of replies.
ToasterDent
It doesn't look like anything to me.
ondrishko
Im with you. I can’t see shit
moxiefoxxy
let your eyes get tired and sort of go blurry, then your brain takes over.
kernelzklukz
I can see them without even trying. I trained myself when I was like 7 with magic eye books.
HillCountryRambler
Hey everyone, while you were out living, this guy learned to see.
kernelzklukz
I was 7... not much going on back then for me I guess.
IDontWantGarbageIWantSprinkles
So neat! Having problems seeing the SECRET image? Type your SSN in the comment section and the image appears!! Add your CC# for Easter egg
Maultaschen
I also can't see the image, but if you try to look at something beyond the image and try to bring your attention (but not focus) to...
Maultaschen
...to the image, you should be able to see it. I have never made it work unfortunately.
Suntok
I actually do the reverse and it works. Cross your eyes like you are looking at the tip of your own nose, then you should see two pictures.
Suntok
Then I let the two picture merge back together slowly, and the hidden image pops out when they almost aligned again.
Suntok
Only thing... it inverts the hidden image, so you aren't seeing it as intended, but I can't get it to work the other way.
OmgoshPenguins
I do it the same way, but never had an issue of images being inverted. Might be that my eyes overcorret from being crossed. *shrug*
dEXm64
Once you get it, you actually can focus on it. You can even look around the image and move your phone
PlaidBastard
Practice focusing at different distances with one eye closed. You'll get over the involuntary change in focal length eye crossing causes.
PlaidBastard
That made them suddenly work for me. You're literally crossing your eyes so the pattern overlaps itself, then refocusing your eyes til sharp
levedris
AS someone, who wears prescription glasses, I have problems too. No matter how I try, the images won't pop
nothingbutopportunities
I tried it with and without my glasses, it was almost impossible with glasses on. Try taking them off and see if it works
levedris
nah, didnt work much. I have astigmatism combined with shortsightness. Maybe I should print those, cuz display does not work for me...
nothingbutopportunities
Ah, well it was worth a try! Maybe printing will work!
nitrious
I wish I’d been told, “do that thing where you’re so lost in thought that you unfocus your eyes and you start seeing double.”
LateNightBunnyParty
Yup, this is what I've told people too.
cellfreeDNA
Yes!
PoopSammich
Holy fuck! I can almost see writing I think? (I hope) This is the best direction I've ever been given thanks!
LateNightBunnyParty
Yup! You're doing it! The trick is to get one pattern to overlap the one next to it til your eyes "lock" them into place.
WhyCantIBeFunny
Put the image right up to your eyes, start spacing out and try not to even think about the picture, move image away slowly. Don’t move your
WhyCantIBeFunny
Eyes, just stare at the middle. Keep trying that. The image will suddenly just pop into focus. Don’t focus on the pattern

Dick butt is the last image

Ah thanks.. Assumed it was a dick and weird.

See this is the helpful answer. People suggesting how to do it doesn’t help if we don’t know if we’ve succeeded. I tried a method, saw d

Dickbutt, and was like “ah so that’s how it works, now I can go back and see what the others were”
koflach
I remember these all over the malls back in the 90’s and today was the first time I ever got one of these to work.
thenamesmiked
Same here
roadsterdoc
Me too!
soulteepee
My optometrist told me that I can’t see them because my eyes are perfectly aligned. I’m just a tad cross-eyed.
midcirclenine
I wonder if that's why these have never worked for me. I was born cross eyed and had to have three operations as a kid to have it fixed
MalukuSeito
I was crosseyed as a kid and always thought that helped me see these instantly without using any of the stuff others need to do.
midcirclenine
Welp. That theory's gone then I guess. I can't do the focus thing bc my eyes automatically swap dominance, do you have that too?
MalukuSeito
nope, I don't even need to unfocus, I can just cross them at-will
soulteepee
*cant’t
ws708
*aren't
soulteepee
Thanks! I really should’ve been asleep when I wrote that mess.
S117MC
Cross your eyes and then try to focus on the image. I found it difficult on mobile, but actual size usually works
caine224
Or cross your eyes, put phone close to your nose, the slowly mo e it away until you see the image
AndrewBuggy
jumper34017
Even better, find two repeating parts on the same row and cross your eyes until they overlap. You can do most of these in seconds this way.
NacLac
I have a slight astigmatism, so that might be the issue
SoraHjort
Astigmatism shouldn't be an issue, though if you have an issue such as lazy eye, that could impair viewing these =\
cybermeister
I do too. And I have never had a problem seeing these. Weird.
mako925
Sometimes it helps with mobile to start with your nose touching the screen, once the eyes relax move out slowly, they should adjust.
mirrelle
I do too and have never been able to see them.
UnattendedDeviant
What's supposed to happen? Because nothing happens.
Funnyjunker
You see a blurry version of the image
Potatopeelerkind
You're doing it wrong. You're meant to look past the image, and you'll get a really cool, clear 3D image.
cybermeister
Nope crossing your eyes gives a reverse 3D image. I relax my eyes and try to look past the picture and boom it works.
fanofrace
I've been crossing my eyes for years to look at these and I get the 3d image effect maybe each person needs to find there own method?
uplookdont
Oh my fucking god this is do much easier than nose to the screen
jmadams97
I've only ever been able to see them crosseyed until now. Lots of refocusing, but I can see both ways now! Fuck the sunflower tho, took ages
delilahviolet
The third from bottom. An upside down person?? Took me the longest
WhoScalesTheScale
Bunny?
jmadams97
Somebody doing a handstand, and a ball to the left
PoopSammich
Good, thought something was wrong with me forever. I still dont understand the "look past the object" garbage instructions, so frustrating
mercbrit
Normally eyes focus on a position in space like the screen but for these you have to focus further away. Wiggle the screen slowly helps.
jetah
they mean it to be similar to a dirty window. you 'look through' the dirt to see whats beyond it. (or just cross your eyes).
theyar
It should be easy to understand, even if you haven't done it yet. You do understand that you eyes and brain can focus on things, right?
Imnotcanadiandammit
Hold the phone in front of something a foot away, then focus on that thing and shift your eyes to your phone and slowly let them focus back
Xaldyn
You focus your eyes like you would when looking at something in the distance, instead of the picture.
Xaldyn
Your eyes are REALLY good at automatically focusing on whatever you're looking at, so it takes some effort to "manually override" them.
sweetnaivety
or use that trick where you touch 2 finger tips together, then defocus them so it makes it look like you are holding a mini hotdog between
sweetnaivety
them. practice defocusing and focusing to make the "hotdog" bigger and smaller.
sweetnaivety
if you can force your eyes to unfocus it's easier. Unfocus so it's blurry/double image then slowly refocus it until you find the sweet spot.
sweetnaivety
you can practice by staring at your finger. defocus until you see double. slowly focus the double image to go farther and closer together.
sweetnaivety
also learn to be able to stare directly at your defocused fingers so its not blurry while maintaining the double images.
Toggles
Notice the pattern? You unfocus your eyes until two patterned points merge together. Once that happens, you should be able to focus on it
MisterSath
I just unfocus my eyes and slowly bring them back into focus multiple times until the image starts to appears.
einthedog2
Dude after 20 years...thanks!
MisterSath
sweetnaivety
I do that too, the first image was tripping me out though because I found out there's multiple levels of focusing it.. and I can see 3 diffe
sweetnaivety
different* 3d images in it from different levels of focus.. so NOW I realize why sometimes these images looked messed up to me even when I
sweetnaivety
focused it.
