You know what today needs more of? YouTube videos!

This one is worth it, from the devious mind of Richard Wiseman comes this gem. Enjoy.

Thanks to iTricks reader Carlos who found it on Bad Astronomy.

Um, I don't get it. Is it a joke? Because his head never disappeared.

Yeah, thanks, I'm not an idiot and did follow the instructions. It doesn't work for me.

It works… you are trying too hard.
Sit back and make your eyes even with the guys head and the X.
Close your right eye and look at the X with your left eye.
Now SLOWLY move in closer to the screen.
NEVER look at the guy with your left eye.
Only see him out of your peripheral vision.
If you think it may have happened, but missed it, start moving back.
It's your blind spot, everyone has one, you just have to find it.
