It’s real, but a lot of people have trouble forcing their eyes to focus past the surface plane of the picture. It’s kinda like trying to see through women’s clothing by staring intensely as if you had x-ray vision, but without the risk of a slap and the awkward conversation with the ossifer after getting kicked out.
@kuoh There are also a number of eye conditions (including monocularity) that can make it “impossible” or at least very difficult to see them.
But (more importantly?) you’ve made me suddenly wonder if anyone has ever sold any magic eye shirts, specifically to make people stare at someone’s chest (or at least squirm at not staring). Perhaps a bit akin to this one:
I discovered the magic eye phenomenon for myself as a kid - I had stripe bed sheets and found out that staring at them just the right way made them suddenly pop into 3D. It really did seem like magic.

@xobzoo Well, I would say that illusion is both more fascinating and frustrating than any magic eye image I’ve ever seen.

@djsteve I see about a dozen beardless, shirtless Uncle Sam models.
@djsteve Ya got me. D’oh!

@djsteve @kuoh Oh, is that who it is? I got it to pop but couldn’t recognize him.
I got pretty good at Magic Eye things, still can see them pretty easily.
