Testing your memory banks for an obscure item from the past.

Does anyone remember the Magic Eye puzzles? My sig O brought some of them home and I'm having fun with them again. He still can't figure it out, but I'm trying to show him how to do it.

You probably have no idea what I'm talking about, but they are really intriguing because your eyes have to stay out of focus to see the shapes inside the puzzle that are not immediately evident.

Don't strain your brain if you've never seen them. It was a while ago that they were popular. I'm just wondering if anyone else remembers them.

I remember them! That was back in the 90s. I had to cross my eyes to see them.

nope

I loved those!! I would do them every Sunday in the newspaper and my husband thought I was crazy. I would tell him what it was, and he would read the answer. I could get them most every time.

I despise these! I can never see anything and always feel like I am being taken advantage of when I waste my time trying so desperately to see what isn't really there.

These quiz contests took over most sites and are a time waster, no credit when you spend 20-30 min taking the quiz, you can have dual answers to a question, but they insist on Failing you for a .01 cent credit.

Those puzzles are crazy.  I have always liked to try and do them.  Usually I am pretty successful too.

You're trying too hard, love. Just relax your eyes (don't focus) and slowly pull the picture away from you. My husband can't do them either, but I told him it takes some time. If you really want to do it, you'll manage. It's all just for fun but it requires some effort.

Once you get one, the floodgates open and you see almost all of them. Keep trying and you will get it.
