“Now you’re looking for the secret. But you won’t find it because of course, you’re not really looking. You don’t really want to know. You want to be fooled,” goes a popular quote from Christopher Nolan’s 2006 movie The Prestige that works perfectly here.

You think you’re not a fool? What do you notice?

Most people would see a number of small circles arranged in a circular position moving around uniformly. A few would also notice that each dot coincides with the centre of the big black circle at regular intervals.
