At first glance, the silhouette is spinning clockwise. but according to the source website, and the small sample test group I showed it to; you can reverse the spinning.

Here are some hints from the test group.

• You have to look down at the shadow, keep your eyes there for some seconds and then slowly move your eyes upward.
  Sometimes my brain even changes the direction when I look at different parts of the figure. Dont stare at her, keep your eyes moving up and down.
• when she turns clockwise she has the right foot up.. when counter-clockwise its the left foot.. just tell yourself which foot is up and she will turn in that direction..

I have heard about ways to read people, and tell if they are lying or not, but this graphic, and the companion site does a really nice job of breaking it down, and explaining it in a way that is easy to remember.

I don’t know if you have tried a Magic Eraser yet, but I have, and they really do live up to their name. I have been consistently astounded by what it will remove, and the ease with which it does so. In addition to being astounded, I have been creeped out a bit. There is no detergent with the product, and it dissenegrates as you use it. The whole process is a bit odd.

Wikipedia to the rescue! Wikipedia has a break down of what the Magic Eraser is, and how it works.
