3d Dragon illusion

I sent these links to Bill Amend of FoxTrot fame (who is a really nice guy btw):

http://www.grand-illusions.com/dragon.htm

He’s made one and I’ve made one too.  I’ll post some video sometime soon to show you how mine works.

Here’s the example from the main site:

And here’s what Bill had to say… 

>Works great.

>My engineer brother-in-law had the same idea as you and says he’s going to
>print one out on his office’s giant color plotter and make a huge one.
