      Congrats on the win! Every time I see an illusion like this, I think I can see through the trick. Sure enough, as the video started, I was thinking, "Yeah it's definitely rotating on the vertical axis." Then my mind was blown over the next few seconds. Super cool illusion!

      At first I was like, this is just that ballerina silhouette thing with a weird shape. Then I saw how much more intricate it was than what I saw on first glance. Congrats!

        Thank you! Yes, I think it's kind of interesting that it kind of contains the silhouette illusion while a separate illusion is mainly on display.
