    I never could see the images either. I tried unfocusing my eyes and crossing them, everything people say to try, but it never worked. A friend of mine has one that is framed with a sheet of glass in front. The trick he taught me was don’t look at the picture and to focus on my own reflection in the glass. I did that and I saw dinosaurs! It was the very first time I ever saw one of these work.

    I still can’t see the one in this post though. I need the pane of glass to see my reflection to get it to work lol

      Oh now that makes sense! You would defocus of the painting and it comes in. Now to find one in glass to test this out, thats gonna be a challenge!

        Any reflective surface should make it work, so if you see one framed give it a try. Hope it works for you because it was really cool when I saw it for the very first time.

          I’m gonna see if I can pull this off, I too would like to see the picture considering 30+ years of reacting just like William in Mall Rats…

            I totally get it! I couldn’t see any of them until I was in my mid 30s after years of not seeing anything. It’s pretty cool when you finally see it for the first time ☺️
