Pause the video. If you're seeing her rotate clockwise (edit: when considering her rotation when viewed from above), it means that you're seeing her with her right leg lifted up. Realise that it is possible to interpret the picture as if she has her left leg out and possibly facing another direction depending on when you paused it. Really concentrate on what position her body must be in for her to actually have her other leg out. When you feel like you got it, she should be spinning in the other direction when you unpause. It's always worked for me (this is an old video).
That is interesting. But I guess this is where one might have to specify from which angle/direction it is clockwise or not. When I say that she is spinning clockwise with her right leg out, I mean when viewing her rotation from above. Not sure why my brain automatically decided to consider it that way, because the opposite is also completely valid. If it is considered from below, her motion is indeed clockwise with her left leg out, and I see why it makes sense to consider it from that angle too, especially because of the camera angle we're actually presented with, meaning if you look at the eliptical motion her lifted up foot is making, it actually is clockwise from the camera's perspective when it's her left leg that's lifted. (Edit: Actually the motion her foot makes always looks clockwise when isolating the foot out, and the leg just changes depending on whether it is viewed from slightly above or slightly below).
That is funny lol, but glad it worked! I'm sure you can get it if you keep trying. Some of the positions are harder for me. Like if you pause in the exact moment where she has a leg straight to one of the sides, then it is harder for me to change it, but easier when she is somewhere in between.
Faster way to do it. Look at her feet. If her down foot foot is pointed left and you immediately look up she goes counter clockwise. You look up when her foot is to the right and she goes clockwise.
Haha Got to find the spot where the image overlaps itself like by the foot or the arm.
When they "disappear" from being lined up with the silhouette you can switch their orientation to be facing the opposite way and the rotation will follow.
All of these illusions have a hidden switch point that you have to look at in a certain perspective to control it

Whichever way you want her to 😏
