Doing more reading on it yesterday, some of us just can't. We're not doing anything wrong - and it being suggested that we are isn't very nice.

Apparently some us could get specific glasses to help make our eyes line up and focus better, combined with enough training it could fix it - some. Others are completely out of luck (like my DH).

That is neat to know that some people can't do it, I didn't know that. I thought that I just didn't 'get' it or something, even after trying different methods. (the 'looking through a window one, and the cross your eyes one)

I can see the picture illusion ones though, the ones that look like they are moving/spinning. Those are cool, since I can actually see them.

I can't see the images with my contacts in, but without I can. I can't see very far at all without contacts, and haven't tried magic eye on the computer only the books.

I'm another person who can't do this. I've never been able to. My cousin had a few books like this about 15 years ago and I couldn't do it then either.

I thought about that and tried without glasses, lol that was worse!

Nope....I can't do it either. *sigh*

I was one of those who couldn't see them and after some practice, I can now see them almost straight away.

I just love magic eye tricks!
