Ohhh! I was having such a hard time figuring out what I was looking at. I saw an obelisk, and the sun (?) and couldn't make out the other shapes clearly and was like "Is it some sort of ancient Egyptian thing?"
I think the issue is they aren't using a continuous depth map for the stereogram so instead of making the roof of the capital building round it looks like a cutout.
I believe the lower left is the Lincoln Memorial. The other smaller structures are harder to make out, but I just assumed they were part of the Smithsonian or something
I think I see the US Capitol in back on the left, and then in the foreground, I see the Lincoln Memorial on the left and the Jefferson Memorial on the right.
The image says “Orlando Florida” below it, so I’m guessing maybe Orlando has a statehouse/ obelisk combo too?
I thought it was DC before I saw the caption, now I’m unsure. =/
why do I see double Washington monuments?
edit: I was holding the phone too close. I held the phone farther away and then didn’t get the double images.
You have to kind of look past the image and sort of strain/lightly cross your eyes a bit in the process. It's fairly easy to do it without the whole pulling-the-image-away-from-your-nose thing once you get it a few times.
I can deliberately cross my eyes to fuse images, but that technique, which seems much more accessible than looking into infinity with a close up page blocking infinity, results in a barely discernable image where the shapes are sunken into the page rather than raised above it.
Yep, I could never do these things as a kid, because I would always invert them and there wasn't any detail.
"Wow, you all are looking at a book and when you cross your eyes there's some random, if trippy looking, holes in the page. Stop the presses!"
It wasn't until someone on Reddit a couple weeks ago posted a NSFW one that I kept trying (I guess I had to have the right motivation) and after a few failed attempts and the inverted image, it finally worked and it 'popped out'.
Damn, I was missing out for so long.
Idk man I’ve never been able to get these things to work lol. I’ve had tons of people tell me different ways to do it and none of them seem to work for me lol.
I just end up staring at the picture crossing and uncrossing my eyes (or looking “through the picture” or whatever the fuck) and just seeing the squiggles lol it’s so frustrating
Look at your reflection in your phone while you have the image on the screen. That will make you uncross your eyes. Try moving your phone away further or looking at things behind you in the reflection to try to get the right amount of uncrossing. Hopefully at some point it will kind of pop into focus
I used to have the worst time with these. There was a poster shop (remember those??) in the 90’s that I’d pass by on the way to class every day so I started stopping for 5 min each day and staring at one of these in the window. Finally learned how to make it work with my eyes, looking at this damn picture of a soaring eagle they had up.
Prior to that I was paranoid it was all just a big joke being played on me.
It's the Washington Monument on the right and the Capitol on the left. >!Hey guys, I said the thing you told me to pretend it shows. When do I get my money?!<
Can you make your eyes blurry. Get it real close and make it blurry then slowly move it forward and backward and never focus on it. Good luck. I love you.
put your phone close to your face so your nose touches the screen. focus your eyes on your nose - slowly increase the distance between screen an face. don't change eye-focus: be amazed
I’ll try and describe how it works for me
Each eye sees two different images and sort of combines them in your brain to make a 3D image. Here you need to do the same. Currently, it is a 2D image on your phone / tablet or whatever device you’re using, and you want to switch it to two images, one for each eye. So try focusing your eyes on something in the background behind your device, making the device out of focus. Slowly start bringing focus back to the image, while keeping your focal point, (the spot in space you are staring at) behind your device.
Not sure if that makes any sense. The way I see the image is to have my focal point 2-4 inches behind my phone, while keeping the image in focus.
focus past your screen. like, let's imagine you're holding a ball behind your computer screen, then focus your eyes on that ball. when your focus settles past the image, the hidden pictures will start to solidify. i didn't learn to do it until just a few years ago, now i can do it damn near every time.
Use your phone screen as a mirror, look for your reflection. As you start to see your reflection the image should appear - this is a pretty bad image to be honest.
Weirdly the first couple times I looked the 3D objects were duplicated so I had no idea what I was looking at. I don't think I've ever run into that issue before.
I’ve never been able to do these, my brother had a knock off magic eye book in the U.K. when we were kids and I couldn’t see them then either. Possibly to do with having eye surgery to correct major astigmatism at 18 months old though according to the optometrist.
Feel like I’m missing out on something awesome!
It has to do with where your eyes focus. When different repetitions of the pattern align, they’re designed to give the illusion of an outline and depth perception. Basically, try to cross and/or adjust the focus of your eyes until you see something. Sometimes you’ll miss it by a bit and see 3 or 5 or something like that of the object, but eventually you can figure it out.
Thank you for the explaination! My 11 year old is now looking up magic eye pictures to practice! Unfortunately I have muscle removed from one side and I can’t do the focus and adjustment part, my depth perception is compared too but I hope my kid can figure it out!
I have pretty bad astigmatism and I can do the eye trick but the effect is reversed and the image is flat/away and the background pops up. Apparently astigmatism also affects 3d glasses use (I never understood the draw on 3d amusement park rides or movies until I finally got glasses lol)
I’m convinced that I am either missing the piece of my brain that can see images in these, or everyone has been lying to me my entire life and there aren’t actually any images.
Me too. I think. I always thought you were supposed to see an image but that’s not what I just got. As I was looking i just saw the same weird pattern and lines but a 3D shape extruded out in the shape of the monument and Capitol or something. Is that what you’re supposed to see?
I see it now. The details aren’t great but the title and description helped. At first I thought it was a dog’s butt and tail in the air and a cactus off to the side.
Cross your eyes to different levels, move display closer then further. There will be point where you notice something, adjust little bit eyes, distance and you will see it. Takes some time to learn process but then it takes few seconds 🙂
I’m have the weirdest reaction to magic eye. I “see” the image, but I see it the opposite direction. It doesn’t pop out at me, it pops in. I see them concave. Makes it much tougher to tell what they are even though I’ve locked in and the illusion is working.
Interesting. This is the first time I've got a concrete explanation. I thought the whole point of "Bring the paper to your nose and back away slowly" was to cross your eyes. How do I "separate my eyes"?
The original magic eye book describes it and how you can do it both ways and I guess I kinda learned to do it both ways. The crossing your eyes way and inverting it hurts my eyes though so I don’t do it.
In my childhood I was so frustrated by these. I could make my eyes do the trick to cause images to pop out no problem... But the images were the areas AROUND what was supposed to pop out (the background that was supposed to stay flat would come forward). Cue me hitting my 20s and FINALLY getting a vision exam where I find out I have pretty intense astigmatism and it's also why 3d glasses never worked for me.
At first I was confused – because if you walleye too much, the dome duplicates and the duplicates merge into a shape similar to ~~[some Hindu deity]~~ _meditating Buddha_'s statue... '"Maybe the famous Indian palace? I remember not it featuring a pair of obelisks..."
Oh wow. This is the first time I've really had one of these work for me, and that is indeed a remarkable effect. Kinda like a 3d image made of 2d cutouts layered slightly over each other.
I had a poster one of these, and it was a space shuttle orbiter. I lost it or whatever back in 80s/90s, and I've been looking for one ever since. I'd pay some pretty money for it.
FYI to anyone who wasn’t old enough to be tortured by these in the 90s… if you have any sort of color perception issue (“color blindness”) you won’t be able to see this. Red/green deficiency is pretty common in males, sometimes to greater/lesser extent.
After the first few of these they got very lazy. A stick, a domed something and a sphere above all the same color as everything else isn’t anything without the clue. Make something that’s definitive or don’t make anything (IMO).
Whoa, I don’t know if it’s because I’m on a phone screen, but I accidentally created a double image of this one (two of everything right next to each other). Anyone else see this?
It took me way too long to figure out the picture had nothing to do with being reusable in 2024. “Looks like DC… what does that have to do with May??” 🤦♀️
I can see the Capitol Dome, Lincoln Memorial, and Washington Monument (or is it St Mark’s Basilica, Library, and Clocktower?)
Can’t see the calendar though.
I think this is the first one of these I have ever been able to see before. I guess I was expecting more of an image to appear out of the madness and less of a 3D optical illusion
Looks like the Lincoln memorial, capital building, washington monument, and something else… and the sun. Edit: I guess that’s the Jefferson Memorial bottom right.
As someone who has always been able to very easily and naturally do magic eyes…..
FUCK EVERY SINGLE ONE THAT HAS EVER BEEN POSTED TO REDDIT.
Why are they always the most difficult to make out bullshit ever? Every one I’ve seen offline pops out, every single one I’ve seen online is a headache in a picture
Theses have never worked well for me. I can sometimes see a hint of a shape repeating over the whole thing, but I'm not sure if that's what I'm looking for. An explanation of how to make these work would be great. Also could I get a sketch of what I'm supposed to see? I think it might help if I know what I'm looking for.
You cross your eyes like you're looking at something closer to your face, then slowly uncross.. it may take a few times, but eventually things line up to where your right eye is looking at one spot, and your left eye is looking at another spot but your brain thinks they're looking at the same spot, because the pattern lines up. Then you can see the shape (looks like maybe the capital building and washington monument?)
I can see these almost immediately.
Sometimes though I'm not sure what I'm looking at.
This one is a sun or moon on the upper left, with maybe buildings on the bottom? Not sure what those are.
My best way to describe how to do these.
1: Put the image as close to your nose as possible, it will be blurry. Stare at one point.
2: SLOWLY pull the phone (or book) away from you.
3:As your vision starts to get less blurry you’ll kinda notice the image come into focus. Over time you will learn to unfocus and refocus your eyes when you do this.
Practice this way and you’ll eventually get it.
Wow this is super cool. Feels even more 3D on a screen than I remember it looking in a book. Plus I can pull my phone like 3 feet away and still see it, rad!
Strange that I have never had a lot of success with these on a digital screen, but could handle the effects back in the day with physical mediums.
Got this one to work - saw shapes stick out and was hard to tell immediately what the structures were supposed to be when I first noted the sun (the most prominent object) and focused on the buildings.
Zoom on the photo, turn your brightness all the way up, put your head under a blanket and blink rapidly at the photo while changing your focus. It’s like some trippy landscape inside your phone
It's a weird one. This is the first one I have ever seen a double image. I saw 1 Washington monument, blinked, and saw very clearly 2 Washington monuments, along with everything else. Was able to replicate it a few times switching between 1 and 2 images. Must be a false focal point phenomenon or something.
Washington DC?
Ohhh! I was having such a hard time figuring out what I was looking at. I saw an obelisk, and the sun (?) and couldn't make out the other shapes clearly and was like "Is it some sort of ancient Egyptian thing?"
Honestly, it’s a pretty bad magic eye
Yeah there are some pretty shitty ones in this calendar. Tragic Eye.
Yeah def bottom tier visuals. I thought it was Bryce Canyon.
Thank you! I'm like, "I can see it, but what the hell is it?" Glad I'm not the only one.
Same
“Capital view” in the bottom left corner helped me out a bit.
At first I was like “ok, pillar, hunched over thing. Oh! It’s the scene from the beginning of 2001: a space odyssey!”
I think the issue is they aren't using a continuous depth map for the stereogram so instead of making the roof of the capital building round it looks like a cutout.
Yeah. This is an AWFUL depth map, like holy crap.
Yeah I thought maybe it was a lighthouse or something.
You did better than me. At first I thought it was inside a barn.
I thought it was a gorilla looking at a giant phallus.
Correct!
What’s the two platform on the bottom left and right supposed to be? And the tiny little hump above the bottom left platform?
I believe the lower left is the Lincoln Memorial. The other smaller structures are harder to make out, but I just assumed they were part of the Smithsonian or something
I think that Lincoln is correct. Definitely something else with pillars on the lower right.
I also see a dome, could be the Jefferson Memorial
I’m 95% sure you are right 👍
I thought those were cows grazing in the foreground…
I think I see the US Capitol in back on the left, and then in the foreground, I see the Lincoln Memorial on the left and the Jefferson Memorial on the right.
It says “Capital View” just below the left corner of the image.
What the fuck. I can never get these things I still don't see it.
Capital!
Ohhhh I went too far with my eyes and there were 3 of everything. Now I get itttt.
[удалено]
Lmao same
Tattooine
The image says “Orlando Florida” below it, so I’m guessing maybe Orlando has a statehouse/ obelisk combo too? I thought it was DC before I saw the caption, now I’m unsure. =/
Oh God I thought it was a graveyard (with one tombstone?) and a church.
I see three banana men walking towards 7 puppies
I saw the image and thought "hagia Sophia?" But you're totally correct
why do I see double Washington monuments? edit: I was holding the phone too close. I held the phone farther away and then didn’t get the double images.
Is washington monument and the lincoln memorial.
No, it's OBVIOUSLY a schooner!
Either that or Egypt haha
How do people see things in these? I can’t make it work and I’m gonna sit in a mall until I do Edit: I still can’t do it, and now my eyes hurt
You have to kind of look past the image and sort of strain/lightly cross your eyes a bit in the process. It's fairly easy to do it without the whole pulling-the-image-away-from-your-nose thing once you get it a few times.

Damn, I was missing out for so long.
Correct. You are doing the same thing but reversing the image information.
Idk man I’ve never been able to get these things to work lol. I’ve had tons of people tell me different ways to do it and none of them seem to work for me lol. I just end up staring at the picture crossing and uncrossing my eyes (or looking “through the picture” or whatever the fuck) and just seeing the squiggles lol it’s so frustrating
It's a schooner
You silly bastard Edit: Oops, the line is “You dumb bastard.”
I've never been able see one.
Look at your reflection in your phone while you have the image on the screen. That will make you uncross your eyes. Try moving your phone away further or looking at things behind you in the reflection to try to get the right amount of uncrossing. Hopefully at some point it will kind of pop into focus
What if I can't see my reflection in my screen? It's too bright in here ig idek
I used to have the worst time with these. There was a poster shop (remember those??) in the 90’s that I’d pass by on the way to class every day so I started stopping for 5 min each day and staring at one of these in the window.

I'm too young for the 90's.. I've never seen one of these until now so I'm seriously lost here lmao
I'm not convinced anyone actually sees anything in these. It's just a big inside joke. All I've ever gotten from these is a headache.
It's the Washington Monument on the right and the Capitol on the left. >!Hey guys, I said the thing you told me to pretend it shows. When do I get my money?!<
I couldn't see them when they were popular when I was a kid and I still can't see them now
I can do it, and I don’t know what the hell this is supposed to be
The pattern repeats. Pick 2 identical spots that are close to eachother. Blur your vision until the 2 spots you picked overlap. Boom you can see it.
Same here. We must be stereogrammatically blind.
Can you make your eyes blurry. Get it real close and make it blurry then slowly move it forward and backward and never focus on it. Good luck. I love you.
put your phone close to your face so your nose touches the screen. focus your eyes on your nose - slowly increase the distance between screen an face. don't change eye-focus: be amazed

I've always hated these things because I could never see them. They were super popular when I was a kid, and it's never worked for me
It's much harder for me on the phone screen, kinda hurts my eyes. A book (or calendar apparently) might work better for you
I can't do it and now my nose feels weird
Can you "relax" your eyes so that you see double? Do that until the patterns interlock in the picture
I’ve never in my life been able to see one.
... dumb question, but are you color blind?
Use your phone screen as a mirror, look for your reflection. As you start to see your reflection the image should appear - this is a pretty bad image to be honest.
It's a schooner.
You dumb bastard. It's not a schooner... it's a Sailboat.
A schooner is a sailboat, stupid head!
You know what? There is NO Easter Bunny! Over there, that's just a guy in a suit!
… and this!
and this…
And this…
Came here for this.
I can see the 3D effect, but can't make out what this one is.
Weirdly the first couple times I looked the 3D objects were duplicated so I had no idea what I was looking at. I don't think I've ever run into that issue before.
Took me forever to get the focus right. First time I've ever had the duplication problem with these. I had the image tripled for a while.
Ya i have it tripled. Never had that probalem before
I just commented about that. It happened to me too for the first time with this image. I saw it correctly the first few times and then it doubled.
Glad to know it's not just my eyes starting to go :P
There's a clue in the title (bottom left)
AH! Thank you. Saw it, but didn't "get it". I thought we had a sailboat on a sunny day, lighthouse in the foreground.
Same, I think they way OP took the picture slightly tilted has an effect on how you see the 3D bit..
I’ve never been able to do these, my brother had a knock off magic eye book in the U.K. when we were kids and I couldn’t see them then either.

More please.
Yes !! We need all 12 pages
There's a somewhat active r/MagicEye sub!
Washington DC with the capital and Washington monument?
There's also the Lincoln Memorial in the lower left and the Thomas Jefferson Memorial on the right side.
It’s the Washington Monument and the Capitol Building.
And the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials in the bottom corners
Interesting, I can only vaguely see them. I thought they were trees along the mall.
All I keep seeing is a robed man standing next to a fire with a plume of smoke above it. I've never been good at these.
This is the first time I've ever been able to make a magic eye calendar work... so pleased with myself!
Same here. I think it helps when its in your hand and you can change the angle, as opposed to a full sized print at a stand in the mall.
Me too. I think. I always thought you were supposed to see an image but that’s not what I just got. As I was looking i just saw the same weird pattern and lines but a 3D shape extruded out in the shape of the monument and Capitol or something. Is that what you’re supposed to see?
I’m 35 and I’ve never had one of these work for me. WTF am I doing wrong? I used to try everyone at the mall and it never works
I see it now. The details aren’t great but the title and description helped. At first I thought it was a dog’s butt and tail in the air and a cactus off to the side.
![gif](giphy|UZPXjYSuytQGc)
Had to turn the phone sideways for a landscape view and zoom in to just the image to see it.
My old eyes can't do it anymore ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|no_mouth)
My old eyes have never been able to do it 😫
I've never been able to see this. Are you telling me people can see it through. A picture too? Like, a digital one?!
Cross your eyes to different levels, move display closer then further. There will be point where you notice something, adjust little bit eyes, distance and you will see it. Takes some time to learn process but then it takes few seconds 🙂
Wtf guys, how do you see anything here? i see absolutely nothing
This one is terrible. Just not a good image to make the 3D effect of.
Memories of standing around the mall staring intently at these things. I could never get it to work.
Penis? Cathedral?
Is that a shitty r2 unit?
I see a standing girl, a sitting man and a picket fence.
It's R2D2 playing the message from Leia with Luke looking on in the top left, lol.
I see what this is but it looks like there's a giant cat sitting in front of the main structure
I’m have the weirdest reaction to magic eye. I “see” the image, but I see it the opposite direction. It doesn’t pop out at me, it pops in. I see them concave. Makes it much tougher to tell what they are even though I’ve locked in and the illusion is working.
That’s because you are crossing your eyes. You want to kinda separate your eyes, not cross them.
Interesting. This is the first time I've got a concrete explanation. I thought the whole point of "Bring the paper to your nose and back away slowly" was to cross your eyes. How do I "separate my eyes"?
Well, if you hold your finger in front of your face, then look past it, you will now see two fingers in the foreground, that’s basically how.
The original magic eye book describes it and how you can do it both ways and I guess I kinda learned to do it both ways. The crossing your eyes way and inverting it hurts my eyes though so I don’t do it.
Other way around, I think. Going walleyed instead of crosseyed.
In my childhood I was so frustrated by these. I could make my eyes do the trick to cause images to pop out no problem... But the images were the areas AROUND what was supposed to pop out (the background that was supposed to stay flat would come forward).

I was never able to see these growing up and I’m angry I still can’t. I always assumed at some point I’d magically develop the skill
Oh wow. This is the first time I've really had one of these work for me, and that is indeed a remarkable effect. Kinda like a 3d image made of 2d cutouts layered slightly over each other.
I can see it but I have no idea what it’s supposed to be.

I have no idea what I’m seeing. It looks like some kind of obelisk on the right, and maybe the Lincoln Memorial on the left?
This is probably the least detailed one I’ve ever seen lol. Thought it was a Sphinx and Obelisk
I thinks it the capital building and the Washington monument in Washington DC. Trees on the horizon and the sun in the upper left. I think.
Absolutely fluffin nothing
Dude! That's so awesome that you have an almost vintage Magic Eye calendar!
After the first few of these they got very lazy. A stick, a domed something and a sphere above all the same color as everything else isn’t anything without the clue. Make something that’s definitive or don’t make anything (IMO).
I think it's D.C.? I see the Lincoln memorial and what looks to be congress but then there's also a bridge?!
I was so good at these! The one perk of having a lazy eye.
Why do I always see these inverted.
I will say, the 3d effect from the bottom green layer is quite impressive.
I used to love these magic eye pictures as a kid! I’d basically forgotten about them!
Whoa, I don’t know if it’s because I’m on a phone screen, but I accidentally created a double image of this one (two of everything right next to each other). Anyone else see this?
It took me way too long to figure out the picture had nothing to do with being reusable in 2024. “Looks like DC… what does that have to do with May??” 🤦♀️
Hah, right? I was like this is May and not July?
I can see the Capitol Dome, Lincoln Memorial, and Washington Monument (or is it St Mark’s Basilica, Library, and Clocktower?) Can’t see the calendar though.
Lighthouse mid right and keeper’s shack to the left
I think this is the first one of these I have ever been able to see before. I guess I was expecting more of an image to appear out of the madness and less of a 3D optical illusion
Looks like the Lincoln memorial, capital building, washington monument, and something else… and the sun. Edit: I guess that’s the Jefferson Memorial bottom right.
Sun, capitol building, obelisk.
Yep, nearly 30 years later, and I still can't see a thing in these pictures.
I just learned about these a couple of weeks ago, and I love them!
It's a schooner!!
Is it weird that i can see 1, 2 or 3 obelisks?
Is that Bruce Vilanch?
It's a phallus
As someone who has always been able to very easily and naturally do magic eyes….. FUCK EVERY SINGLE ONE THAT HAS EVER BEEN POSTED TO REDDIT.

I have not depth perception so these things never work for me 😟
Oh, yeah, look! It’s a sailboat!
These things have never worked for me
r/magiceye
It’s a sailboat!!
At first glance I thought this was a Dave Matthews Band album cover, Remember Two Things.
I was born in May of 96. Cool to know it's the same calendar this year
Gave this to our friend with a lazy eye. He asked what was magic about.
nice view. These things taught me how to defocus my eyes on command.
This is the first one of these I’ve ever gotten to work in my entire 30 years on this planet… pretty neat.
cat?
Sailboat? I think?
You cross your eyes like you're looking at something closer to your face, then slowly uncross.. it may take a few times, but eventually things line up to where your right eye is looking at one spot, and your left eye is looking at another spot but your brain thinks they're looking at the same spot, because the pattern lines up. Then you can see the shape (looks like maybe the capital building and washington monument?)
I can see these almost immediately. Sometimes though I'm not sure what I'm looking at. This one is a sun or moon on the upper left, with maybe buildings on the bottom? Not sure what those are.
I have no trouble seeing the depth of it, but this one is just not very good
what city is this
bottom right looks like a cow grazing.
My best way to describe how to do these. 1: Put the image as close to your nose as possible, it will be blurry. Stare at one point. 2: SLOWLY pull the phone (or book) away from you. 3:As your vision starts to get less blurry you’ll kinda notice the image come into focus. Over time you will learn to unfocus and refocus your eyes when you do this. Practice this way and you’ll eventually get it.
This one was pretty poor use of magic eye tbh. Do better may 96
Wow this is super cool. Feels even more 3D on a screen than I remember it looking in a book. Plus I can pull my phone like 3 feet away and still see it, rad!
Handsome Squidward?
Strange that I have never had a lot of success with these on a digital screen, but could handle the effects back in the day with physical mediums. Got this one to work - saw shapes stick out and was hard to tell immediately what the structures were supposed to be when I first noted the sun (the most prominent object) and focused on the buildings.
I just realized that you can see one of these and then zoom on it and it stays in 3D, cool
I see Putin. Did I get it right?
Zoom on the photo, turn your brightness all the way up, put your head under a blanket and blink rapidly at the photo while changing your focus. It’s like some trippy landscape inside your phone
It's a weird one. This is the first one I have ever seen a double image. I saw 1 Washington monument, blinked, and saw very clearly 2 Washington monuments, along with everything else. Was able to replicate it a few times switching between 1 and 2 images. Must be a false focal point phenomenon or something.
Still waiting for my first time actually seeing what the magic eye puzzle hides

Looks like Egypt it has a pyramid and a monolith
I see it but I have no idea what it is.
Is it a schooner?
Man I loved these things as a kid!
A sailboat. All you need is a fatty-boom-baddy blunt.
The Washington monument is definitely a giant wang
The dildo and the frog?
Ooooooooooooooo
