When Harry Potter Fans Take Over a Roller Rink - Neatorama

You may not be able to fly in an actual quidditch game, but rolling on skates at full speed can still feel pretty magical and give you that wind-in-the-face feeling like flying. And that's why having a Harry Potter night at a roller rink makes complese and utter sense.

This particular event took place at LA's Moonlight Rollerway, which has theme nights pretty frequently.

However, what works for me is closing your eyes and leaving them open for just a little bit so that your eyelashes create a shade, and then, you might just be able to see that it's all going in circles really.

Weirdest to me is that if you look at it long enough it stops looking like a spiral and you can't get it to go back.

Just blink your eyes quickly and you will see that blue rings are actually concentric cirles.

Great! Now I can't trust my eyes or brain anymore!

Wild! The lowering of your eyelashes trick actually does work. I had to trace the circles with my fingers before I believed it!

Easiest way to get it to work are things similar to the barely open eyes trick. You basically want something that will partially obstruct your view...if you are far/near sighted you can also take off your glasses/contacts and get it to the range it looks fuzzy...that'll also ruin the illusion and cause you to see it as pure circles much easier.

I am immensely disappointed the caption here isn't "Ceci n'est pas une spiral."

Perhaps you should attribute the image's creation to its author. It appears that the Croation website you sourced this from has no interest in that. It is not legal in the United States to induce infringement of a copyright.

If we want creators to continue to make images such as this, perhaps we should get more serious about protecting their ability to maintain a revenue stream.

Lets grow up journalists - check your sources and give credit where it's due.

It looks like one of Akiyoshi Kitaoka's many spirals:
