Yep. I can see them. They're pretty easy as long as both your eyes function relatively equally. You don't even really need to hold them up to your nose. It's just basic double vision with a repetitive pattern -- you can do magic eye with the wall paper if the repeating pattern is close together enough.

I'm a legend at magic eye.

If you cross your eyes, the image is cut in, if you blur out of focus regulary, then it pops out.

They rarely pop out for me.
I give them a go but i usually just get cross-eyed.
I stop before i lose the will to live.

You have to try and focus forwards while cross-eyed. I think. I couldn't do them for years and then I spent half an hour deliberately going cross-eyed out of sheer determination, and it finally worked. I like to think of it as the alternative form of solo entertainment that makes you go blind.

yes!I couldn't see them for years,and it bugged me till I made a concerted effort.The pseudo crossing-eyes thing did the trick after several days of trying,sort of like looking beyond the image itself.

i usedta practice it so much that i couldnt not see it if i wanted too...

oh and yes, the headaches

you dont want to cross your eyes, you need to do the opposite, move them apart while keeping them focused on the apporpriate distance.
