YOU have to have 20/20 vision to be able to spot the hidden image in this Magic Eye-style optical illusion in 10 seconds.

Only those with the eyes of a hawk will be able to figure this mind-boggling illusion out.

Magic Eye artwork became popular in the 1990s as a way of testing your brain and eye power.

The premise was developed by engineer Tom Bacceir,  3D artist Cheri Smith, and programmer Bob Salitsy.

A three-dimensional image is hidden in a two-dimensional image by manipulating a repeating pattern to control the perceived depth.

In this example, an infinity symbol is hidden within the colorful pattern of ornate swirls.

There are two known methods for identifying the hidden shape in the Magic Eye.

For the first, you must relax your eyes and get as close to the screen as possible while staring at the picture.

However, do not focus on the image itself, try to look through it and slowly move backward after five to 10 seconds.

Once you are around 12 inches away from the screen, you may be able to suddenly see the 3D image.

Alternatively, you could start this distance away from the screen and look through the image, as if it is a window.

This relaxes your eyes and may allow you to see it more clearly.

Again after 10 seconds, the image may appear for you.

However, if not try moving your head slightly from side to side and some depth to the picture may be revealed.

It is a skill that takes practice to develop so don't worry if you can't see anything yet.

One TikTok user posted another confusing optical illusion with users trying to spot a hidden animal in the fastest time possible.

Scott Whatley () his followers: "Believe it or not, there is a small, yearling deer in this video.”

The hunter said he had shown it to many of his friends, who lied and said they could spot the deer as a matter of ego.

"I've shown it to a couple of different hunters and they all say they see it long before they do, out of pride," he joked.

“They end up seeing it, real hunters will see it, but usually not until the very end," Scott continued.
