MyndExplosion: For the first question, your favorite NFL football team is the Dallas Cowboys.

The Scott: The 2 rings are connected at one point, and simultaneously spinning both up and down (wobbling up and down) and spinning on a horizontal plane, thus confusing the brain... (Your brain contains separate cells for noticing movement in different directions. By looking at the balance of activity from all of these cells, you can work out which way an object is moving.) Am I right ? Oh well... worth a try.

Peter: Congrats to both the Joker and MyndExplosion, you guys are absolutely right. Please email or pm me your mailing addresses and I will have those copies of Meltdown out to you as soon as the contest ends. As for question #4 I have seen some great explanations so far, yet non of them are correct, so may I offer everyone a Hint: Its a bit of a trick question. I will be giving this Ultimate cane prize away no matter what, so if I fail to see the right answer in a couple of days, I will change the question to make sure someone wins. Thanks for participating everyone, this is fun. I also look forward to reading more of your questions and insights.


The Scott: I really want this cane, make sure it's a question I know the answer too.

Huw: I think (?) I have it....? It's the three spirals. At first they appear to be three independently rotating 2D discs. If you stare at the center one, they gradually seem to take on a slightly 3D form, with the center retreating into a vortex and they also seem to merge so that the discs flow into one another. Incidentally, they also have funny effect on your eyes if you stare at them for too long as I have.

The Scott: You stare at it the middle spiral for 30 seconds then look at your hand and it looks like there are bugs crawling under your skin!  That’s the effect of the 3 spirals spinning.

Andy D.: Is it something to do with the fact that, there really isn't any illusion..........I had a about 6 attempts, and I could not see anything changing much (I certainly haven't as much imagination as Huw!) but all the time I was trying, the link to 'Hank Lee's Magic Factory' is also in your line of sight.....................and of course he does sell some of your stuff!  So perhaps.............Any 'weak-willed' folk would be brain-washed into going to Mr. Lee's site and purchasing one of your illusions. Mind you, it never worked with me!!

Lady Laura: I don't think the three spinning disks have any effect. The optical illusion is that when you first look at it you think it will do something!

The Scott: The suspense is Killing ME!

VIO: What spinning discs I only see the rings at the top its the only moving thing on the page?

Joker: Look on the links page.

Sean: Trying to make you think the chain is spinning round or something.....oh I don't know.  I see the swirls and stuff there, but people have already mentioned that.

The Scott: Yes, mentioned, but nobody has answered correctly yet! Well, Peter ain't told us if a few of them are right, Huw's Mine, Lady of the Rings. :D Kevin.

Peter: Well, well, well, And the winner is, Andy D! The spirals don't anything at all! We put them there to make people believe that there is an optical illusion when the real illusion is that there isn't one. I  hope no one is too angry with us!  The lady of the rings was also right, but unfortunately Andy D mentioned it first. So I must award him the Prize...One Ultimate Cane gimmick with a genuine Fantasio Cane. I hope you enjoy this prize Andy! You will have to email or pm me your mailing address. Scot, thank you so much for your enthusiasm towards my product. I am sorry that you did not win. Thanks to everyone for participating. I had fun with this competition.

Tora: Peter it is not my business but would you mind if I suggest you may give one meltdown for Scot and Lady of the rings since they have get so closer ? Just an idea of mine...

Lady Laura: I think Andy D deserves the prize. I must confess that although I had decided that it didn't do anything really, it wasn't until I saw Andy's answer that I decided to put it up. I thought I was missing something, obviously not!!

Oliver Gratter: Are The spinning optical illusions meant to create an effect where it can look like a tunnel or a cone?

ReyRey: Peter? So nice to see you on this side of the pond...I didn't know this is where your time was being spent....? The payment is in the mail ....I look forward to working with your equipment ideas...I shall let you know my opinion as soon as it arrives..... Thanks again for your lighting suggestions... I haven't been in here in quite a few months...It was a pleasant surprise to see you holding court this side of the Atlantic representing well nonetheless.... Keep up the fine work lad!
