Have you tried closing one eye and slowly rotating the dragon? It works best with one eye closed or with a camera.

Wow! Thanks for those Tina. I'll update the entry to add links to the zombie pattern. You're right about FrankenPaper - it looks considerably more complicated!

There’s a zombie pattern that’s free. Go to http://ravensblight.com/Illusion.html
or google “the moving sculpture illusion” to get the pattern and instructions. I usually have to tape toothpicks to the back of the zombie to reinforce it because it’s skinny and topheavy, though.
…There’s also some Japanese patterns out there but they are not free.
(I’ve done the Dragon pattern for years with my 8th graders and they love it!) …There’s also a complicated template at http://www.frankenpaper.com/pt/franken-illusion/franken-illusion-index.html where a Frankenstein’s monster’s head follows you.

Unfortunately I’ve only come across the dragon, robot and cat, but the dragon can be in three colours.
