Spinning Jenny

For the life of me, I can't even get a hint of her turning anything but clockwise...

I just kept watching and she turned one way then the other way, then turned back again, does this mean I am a well-balanced person (no rude comments please) or is it all a con?

Definitely clockwise - but I think most people would say the Left Brain list fitted me better than the Right Brain one.

It's not a con. I've managed to train my eyes so that I can change it either way. If you focus on the legs as both of them meet the centre of the screen you can get it to spin one rotation clockwise and then immediately anti-clockwise and vice versa. I don't think it's programmed on a pattern, it's a clever optical illusion.

Yes I found I could reverse it at will by looking at the foot that meets the shadow

I'm a right-brainer (could argue no-brainer at the moment, but we won't go into that!!). Can't see her going anti-clockwise at all. Mind you part of that is because I can't take my eyes of her very impressive endowments. Dancer, my foot!

Whichever way she spins, she must be getting very dizzy!!

I found it equally easy to see her going clockwise and anticlockwise. I focussed, watched, blinked, refocussed.....and the direction in which she was spinning had changed. Amazing...
I also found that if I focussed on her and then shifted my focus to the side of the image, out of the 'corner of my eye' she was already turning in the opposite direction.
