The visuals strongly remind me of those "magic eye" 3d illustrations. Very well executed.

Wow, I think you are really missing out like people who can't see the image in "magic eye" stereograms. I thought it was a pretty killer effect.

The awesomesauce isn't just from where the light is landing, but that it looks like there are two of him and the other one is leaning forward out of the mirror into 3D space to shine the light into her mouth.

Kinna works if you view it as you would a Magic Eye or autostereogram -

Black is my favorite colour so I like the new dark background.

But with that said, the default should be the lighter theme. If your goal is to invite passers-by in for a cup o' joe with the hopes that they'll stick around, your website should be warm and inviting, not dark. And anyone who sticks around will always have the option of turning down the lights.

And yes, something has to be done about the contrast. Blue text on a grey background is the first thing they teach you *not* to do in HTML class. I feel like I'm looking at one of those Magic Eye posters, trying to find the focal point when I look at blue text on a grey background

I don't get it. This must be the "magic eye" that I can't see.

It's almost like those "magic eye" images. Either you see it or you don't.
