Did you ever see the paper with the bird on one side and the cage on the other, and when you spin it around, it looks like the bird is in the cage? I had no idea there was an actual name for this illusion, but it's Thaumatrope! Sounds like something you'd need penicillin for!

I made something similar, but did Castiel and his wings. I think a simpler image might have worked better. And perhaps different colours, which is why the bird/cage one works so well. Oh well, next time!

edit: Okay, looking through a bunch of other thaumatropes online, mine isn't half bad at all. I thought the effect wasn't great, but neither are most of the others. Not that I can't improve, mind you! I saw a cool one with pins and chopsticks instead of thread to spin it, and it worked great!! Stay tuned!
