Out of curiosity, how many pages did you print it on? I printed it out and it came out on 9 pages and I'm in the process of putting it all together.

Mine worked! Heh... I had to stare at it for a while for it to work. Oh... and you have to cover one eye.
Also, I found that it worked better if I was farther away from it. And you need to view it at the angle in the video.

Yeah... I was having a hard time getting it to print properly. I don't think the proportions are right on one page. I actually just ended up printing the JPG from Microsoft Paint. You have to do a lot of cutting and taping, though.
I have it on my entertainment center at home. Its really cool though, and its worth the effort. Once your brain catches it, it looks exactly as it looks in the video.

Heh... found something out last night. After your brain catches the illusion, if you keep moving side to side you can slowly open your other eye and it will hold the illusion. It goes away if you blink, though.

I made a video of mine... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePsxZXfnMwY)
Edit: I posted this right after uploading it, so it will probably take a little while to be view-able.
