I can only see these dumb things in reverse (the shape is always sinking into the page, rather than popping out). isn't there a way to generate these inverted

  You're crossing your eyes instead of distancing them, that's a lot easier for me as well but you should manage to see these kind if stereograms too with some practice. Simply letting your sight defocus as when you're looking into the void thinking something will probably get you closer; then keep in mind that to see these images you need to make a much more subtle correction than when doing the cross-eyes thing, such that it's actually easy to "bind" to pairs of patterns farther apart than what's needed. The rest is just like with cross-eyes stereograms, check the borders of the double-image to verify the alignment of your head, and as you get closer to joining the dots strive to get the image back in focus (but of course without moving the eyes).

    I've read other answers here to that effect...I was trying more the other night to do other kinds of things with my eyes but the hole inside the image kept popping "in" even when I wasn't trying to do anything in particular. Might just be my physiology crossing my eyes all the time anyway

      Well you've maybe become used to it now, so it's even harder to switch to the straight-eyes technique
