    Im convinced that anyone that says they can do a magic eye is part of a conspiracy against me specifically.

    Like, why would you lie about this?

      Maybe you’ve been told this before, but here’s what works for me without fail.

      Put the image right up to your face, I’m talking like touching your nose. Then slowly pull away, really slowly. Don’t move your eyes, keep them looking at and focusing however they are as you pull back. If you pull back too quickly, you can miss the moment it “pops”. If you get more than a six or so inches away from the image and there hasn’t been a pop, restart and adjust speed of pull back, it may take some fine tuning.

      If this does work and you begin to see the layers “pop”, don’t get overly excited and try to look at the popped out part, because moving your focus or eyes too quickly will just drop the illusion. Keep pulling back at that steady speed until you have the full image in your field of view.

      At this point, I usually can start looking around the image without losing it.

      This is a little harder with screen, which is emitting light and can strain your eyes, but still works overall. Just tried it with this one after having not done one of these in years, and got it immediately.
