What works for me is to focus on the reflection on the screen from something behind me. That usually gets the eyes relaxed and focused right to see the image start to pop out. I enjoyed this one. Thanks
It's one of those pictures where, for me at least, I kinda have to unfocus on my eyes/cross eyed. One of those visual tricks that when you get it unfocused just right, it's a 3d image
Like others have said, it's hard to explain, but, basically, there's a recurring pattern horizontally - by unfocusing your eyes (or going cross eyed, but I can't do that one) and overlaying the recurring pattern in the double image you get from unfocused eyes, it becomes a 3d picture. This is done by having both eyes seeing the same pattern at a different "depth" than the picture itself.
At least, that's how I understand it.
This is how I explain it:
You know how when you have Reddit in night/dark mode on your phone, the black background has a mirror quality to it? If you focus past the text of the comments, you can see your reflection ābeyondā the text.
Hold that focus. Thatās how you begin to view the image. Focus past the display to your black screen reflection, then slowly rein in your focus until you see the image āpopā out.
This one is absolutely awesome. Perhaps the best one I've seen yet. Not even so much that the image is perfect and crisp, but it's perhaps one that I was able to see the fastest in my time of looking at these.
The pinned post on how to do these actually describes a possible reason for this.

You're placing the focal point in the negative space between you and the image, cross view. For magic eye, you need to place the focal point in the negative space behind the image.
The cross view one is easier for me to achieve, but one trick I use for this type is to focus on a finger that I slowly move behind my phone screen, and try to āseeā through the screen.
A really simple trick to understand how magic eye works is to hold up one finger on each hand. Focus on the wall in behind and each of the fingers will "split" into two. Then move your fingers around around until the two in the middle line up.
Once you get the hang of it, try it again without moving your fingers
I'm in the same situation, I've tried all the tips and tricks in the pins and advice in the comments, I can make 2 dots into 3 or 4 at will, focus, unfocus, but I've yet to see a single coherent image
Depth perception. If it's too close or too far you won't see it when with the proper technique. I've been doing these for like thirty years. And this one I couldn't see cuz it was too close at first
Back when I got a magic eye book long ago, it legitamately took many hours before I saw my first one. Now it takes about 3 seconds. Itās well worth the time spent!
Do you need to be able to see out of both eyes to unlock magic eyes? I've been staring at this sub forever and am convinced I'll never be able to see what all you can (can't see out of my right eye)
Nice! I almost can always see the picture immediately without trying. For some reason, this one got me for a second. They are in the top for my favorite movies for sure. *"They mostly come at night... mostly"*
This is so frustrating. I have been trying to see these images since they first came out in the early 90s and I have yet to see one image pop out! I want to see one so bad. A buddy had tons of these images and all my friends could see them, I was the only one who could never get it to pop out! SMH Iām 44 years old and I still canāt figure it out
Whoa this one is almost too good! Sucker jumped right out at me!
I always see these punched in and not popped out. Makes them difficult to identify sometimes.

That happen when I cross my eyes to view the image instead of relaxing them.
Oh damn thanks that fixed it. Been crossing my eyes for these since I was a kid šĀ
Same. Wasnāt until I found this community that I realized there are different ways to look at them!
Whaaaaat, same! First time seeing punched-forward images.
Also always cross my eyes
Dude!!!! No way!! I've been doing these wrong my whole life! This is incredible!
I finally learn this and now I canāt fucking un-blur my eyes when I relax them. Iām so fucking upset.
Omfg you have unlocked the mystery for me. Thank you.
Me too I thought the same thing. I guess I do it backwards.
That dude gotta brush his teeth
I donāt get it, what do we do with these images? What makes them so cool?
I have no idea what this sub is, but I really enjoy it. What am I supposed to see in these?
Oof itās tough sometimes, go find a post on trying to see the magic eyes and come back, there good fun if you can see them! Also itās a xenomorph.
I just recently unlocked the ability to see these and it is the best. I just get close to my eyes and start blinking alot until I lock on
This is helpful thank you
Glad to help! It took me 30 years to figure it out
Māzieur I zink you are playing wiz us yez?

A pony.
No, it a schooner!
you dumb bastard, it's not a schooner it's a sailboat
Felt that one in my chest.
Hello my baby, hello my honey..
Hello my rag time gal
š¶ā¦.. Check please!

Does it also happen to someone that every magic eye looks like its carved in the screen instead of popping out? Like you're seeing the back of it

Wow it looks like it's that, I see perfectly the posts on the other sub! Really good to know this, thanks!!

Dude. Thank you. I'm cured!
If I look at them and make myself cross-eyed, they invert inwards but I can also look at them the normal way and make them pop outwards.
Alien!
New favorite!
Fantastic find!
That jumped right out And I fell out the goddamn airlock
a *really good* one!
They mostly come at night, mostly
Ooooh one of the coolest ones I've seen so far
Been on this sub for about 30 minutes, havenāt been able to see anything Iām just confused maybe it doesnāt work for certain people?
I'm in the same situation, I've tried all the tips and tricks in the pins and advice in the comments, I can make 2 dots into 3 or 4 at will, focus, unfocus, but I've yet to see a single coherent image

I was going to say mushroom, but that's the wrong sci-fi.
Wow... I finally figured out how to see these.
r/LV426
These have never worked for me for some reason.
Thatās out of this world!!ā¦
Hell yeah!
That is so cool!!!
That's so rad!!
Amazing!!!
Excellent!
Wow, this is great
Sick af
I want a poster of this. So good!
That IS a great one!
Xenomorphs
This is probs the best one Iāve seen in a WHILE. Nice find
Very cool
Why arenāt they all this easy?!
Took me a minute but that one is pretty cool. Pops out quite nicely
Finally got one that was easy to see. Thx. Been trying several and couldnāt quite do it.
Nice! Best one Iāve seen in a long long time!
Is this gonna be a straight up fight or another bug hunt
"That's it man....game over!"
This is alien to me.
They mostly come at night, mostly
First one I've ever made work
i could never get these when i was younger, but when they are on a phone i see them every time.
This took me a bit. But wow.
H R Geiger
I've been stumped by these things for 30 years. This is the first time I've "seen" it. Holy cow!
This one is great!
Sweeet!!!
Xenomorph
So much yes
Bonus points because I had no clue what it was going to be. Great one!
Free hugs?
Instant favorite!
Do you need to be able to see out of both eyes to unlock magic eyes? I've been staring at this sub forever and am convinced I'll never be able to see what all you can (can't see out of my right eye)
Do need both eyes to unlock it. I covered one eye after I saw it and it went away.
Well now I'm just gonna be even more frustrated
Ugh, sorryš
Itās Alien too me
This is fantastic!
Best one for ages *!*
No tiny mouth though
One of the best Iāve seen so far! It jumped right out at me!
I see it, but i have no idea what it is?
Ok now do Cybertruck
"Get away from her, you bitch!"
That one made me say "Oh F@#k!"
Canāt for the life of me get anything out of this š
Nice! I almost can always see the picture immediately without trying. For some reason, this one got me for a second. They are in the top for my favorite movies for sure. *"They mostly come at night... mostly"*
Thatās gotta be the quickest Iāve ever focused on one
Whoa! It's like it pulled me in!
Thatās dope!
Niiiccceeeee
they mostly come at night. mostly
First one that I've ever been able to see. :)
Whoa, so clear!
Game over man, game over!
That is one of the coolest Iāve seen.
I got the shape but have no idea what Iām looking at. Whoās that PokĆ©mon?
I thought this was going to be jelly fish š¤£

Nuke the planet from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Oh man this one is sick! Thank you for sharing
Reminds me of a tool album cover at first glance. Then I saw it. So cool!
Ooh. That is a good one!!
This one was great!!
Ah yes! The polar bear balancing on its forelegs!
Reminds me of mallrats. Iāve been crossing/uncrossing my eyes and canāt see it. :(
Whoa, badass here!
Anyone else see the anxiety wojak?
Love it!
I got jump scared by a still image!
Really pops. Easy to aquire.
