    I did it twice, first time I blinked a few times and the effect was kind of weak, the second time I stared as much as I could.. and yeah wow.

    Quite interesting.

    Or, if you prefer a second one with quicker effects but not as strong;

    Always thought these were fun. In Frankfurt we have a museum dedicated only to optical illusions.

    Another do-it-yourself one:

    Hold a plain, white sheet of paper in one hand and a blue (or red, or green, but the colour needs to be deep. Pastel tones won't work) post-it (roughly the size of the palm of your hand is good) in the other.

    Hold them in front of you with outstretched arms and focus on the blue for 30+ seconds. The longer you focus the more intense and lasting the results. Then shift your eyes to the expanse of white and focus.

    Done right you should see a white square (the size of the post-it)surrounded by blue paper.
