It's funny because even if you do the Magic Eye pictures "correctly" (focusing past them) you can still get funky images by going too far and locking the surrounding pattern a second time. If I remember right the first time I did this was on a heart picture (similar to [0]), which ends up looking like a big puffy W stacked on top of a slightly larger puffy W :D [0] https://i0.wp.com/www.magiceye.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/stock_roses_800x656.jpg https://i0.wp.com/www.magiceye.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/1...

Thanks that's one of the beautifully crafted magic eye images, bring me back memories about 20 years ago when it was a craze.

  Wasn't it a craze around 1992?

Are you sure that's supposed to be a heart? I see the three peaks of a "W" as well -- I think it's supposed to be a tulip, no? That also matches the background theme.

  The background is flowers, but the hidden image is most certainly the classic heart shape.

  If you see 3 peaks you went too far - which is really easy to do on mobile. I had to be careful to go only "once deep".

  Yep, well at least 98% sure anyway. But you're right, that 'second level' image does look a lot like a tulip, much better description than what I said about W's :) And of course this led me to try zooming out a bit and going for level 3+... kinda feels like I'm looking down at the top of a strangely shaped wedding cake, which would also go nicely with the flowers and heart theme. Thanks for giving me an excuse to take another look!

I think I just locked the pattern also a third time where it looks like pillars but I’m not sure if I saw it correctly. When I first looked at this picture I saw the W pattern and then blinked and suddenly saw the intended pattern. When you lock on the non-intended ones it feels somehow like a secret/forbidden path you shouldn’t go, like consuming drugs.

You can also cross your eyes the other way and make the pattern in a MagicEye pop the other way (in vs out, or vice versa)
