Back in the 1990s when the Magic Eye became a very popular
thing, I bought a Magic Eye calendar with a different example
for each month. I put it up in my college office and whenever
I took a break or needed a distraction, I would stare at the
image. I never saw whatever it was that I was supposed
to see. After a while I wondered if I was just looking at it
wrong and would try things like squint, look sideways, etc.,
but nothing. I think it's just a scam with the while world
in on the joke. ;-)
As far as I know, my ophthalmologists have not found anything
wrong outside of being somewhat near-sighted (recently,
tiny print has become hard to read) but perhaps there is
something wrong with my perceptual processing. Afterall,
the sky is green, right? ;-)
