Yes.  I've found the longer you stare at the dot the longer the illusion lasts and if you can stand not to move your eyes it can go on pretty much indefinitely.  I realize the optical illusion but no matter how many times I do it, the whole deal still amazes me like a child with a balloon.

Also, if you move your eyes away from the dot and then look at the dot again, the illusion keeps working (at least for me).  In fact, I just looked at the dot without staring at it for thirty seconds beforehand, and it still worked.
