This is another great example of concentric circles that look like
a spiral. Just like the previous image, you'll see that the coloring
of the circles really leads your eye right to the center of this optical
illusion. You can use your finger to trace the lines of each circle,
just don't get your fingerprints all over your computer monitor! The
red and black diamonds further add to the illusion, and even give the
illusion some depth, because they are drawn in perspective, with the
center as the vanishing point. This type of perspective is called one-point
perspective and involves two sides of each object pointing to the same
spot on the page. This is one of my favorite optical illusions!
You pretty much have to touch the screen and start following one of the circles around because it is such a strong illusion.
