    The way it works is that she's definitely facing left when she's left and right when she's right, which is why most people don't believe she could possibly be rotating the other way. The trick is that given the clever angling of her body, it's possible for her to be rotating either TOWARDS or AWAY from the viewer between the left and right hand positions. If you open it up with a gif editor you can see what's happening.

    I still don't see it.

    I've opened it up in a .gif and everything.

    Start at frame one

    Look at the positioning of her shoulders and head

    do you see how she could either be looking towards the screen, or away from it?

    progress the gif a few steps, and you will see that depending which path your mind chooses, she'll appear to continue down; she either rotates counter clockwise or "upwards" to reach the straight right position, or clockwise and "downwards"

    argh that fucking spinning girl distracts me for a good 20 minutes every time I see it

    jesus christ it kind of makes you distrust everything you've ever seen in your life


    Also this is a similar thing to the grayscale waterfall video, stare at the cross

    optics.gif
    The blinking dot should start blinking green and all the purple dots disappear

    (edit) Also here is possibly a good trick to making the spinning girl change direction: when moving 'clockwise' her foot will move downward, as though the camera is placed vertically above her ankles. When "counterclockwise" it's more like the camera is vertically below the ankles so the foot appears to swing up as it comes towards you.

    Also I just realized that when moving 'clockwise' her right leg is out, but when 'counterclockwise' her left leg is out jesus christ this is complicated

    Man, I've done it frame by frame. I've rearranged all of the things to make them go the other way.

    I just does not work in my mind.

    I get to about frame 10, then it reverts back.

    I can see spinning girl both ways, but i cant instant reverse direction.

    AT first i was like GOD WHY< BRAIN MELT!

    Now I just get sorta sad when one of the directions goes away and i can see the other one

    EDIT: for shits and giggles, see if you can get it to rapidly change directions. Its kinda fun, and i can almost change directions at will now

    If you're trying to make it work, not wondering HOW it works, just look away for a few seconds and then back. Once your mind establishes a "path" that she's taking, it's very hard to undo it while still looking at the image.

    i got it working

    oh god

    EDIT: orestes

    with your gif editor

    start at the last frame and work your way back, imagining it as being clockwise

    then go through it from the first frame imagining counter clockwise

    whole time focus on nothing but the legs

    I couldn't for the life of me see it going clockwise like everyone's saying, till I opened it in ImageReady and slowed the speed down to .5 sec a frame and just looked at from calf to thigh. Now I can finally see the illusion. At full speed my mind sees nothing but counterclockwise.
