Question:Since I was a kid, my sister too, we can both see magic eye images instantly. We just got to look at them for a second and simply make it happen. I can also make it happen from meters away from the computer screen, I can’t even go back farther in the office I’m in.

Here is a nice love heart:

No, but it is rare and seems to be related to genetics in ways that aren't clear. While one person I know who does grasp them instantly has a brother who doesn't, that you and your sister do isn't much of a surprise. Even though it runs in families, though, it's rare. I've met a lot of people and am sure of 3 who can do it.

It's really a matter of being able to focus your eyes. When I was younger, I could pick the magic images up really quickly. It is a bit harder now, but human being have eyes that change with time, so I guess we need to blame Mother Nature!
