    Do the lines appear to be moving anti-clockwise?!

    that depends on how I look at it - if I tell myself to 'ignore' the rotating 'wedges' the illusion is there, but if I take the movement of these into account then I see it as a blinking

    The wedges appear to be rotating clockwise and the lines blink.
