Mind-blowing ‘super-illusion’ that makes you see things that AREN’T real revealed
A SO-CALLED "super-illusion" video is blowing people's minds on social media - and it's easy to see why.
The trippy animation appears to show a stickman climbing stairs and jumping, but your eyes are very much deceiving you.
That's because the little fella isn't actually moving at all.
If you don't believe it, try holding your finger or computer cursor over one spot of the jumping guy.
You'll notice that it doesn't change spot whatsoever.
The illusion has gained thousands of likes and shares on Twitter after going viral back in 2020.
So how does the Mario-esque scene trick your eyes?
Experts say it's down to something they call 'reverse-phi motion'.
It apparently comes down to contrasting between light and dark colours.
It follows a number of mind-boggling illusions that have recently surfaced on the internet.
One which has really got people scratching their heads is a silent video that people can hear.
A TikToker showed how a video of two elephants on a seesaw generates a non-existent sound in our ears.
In other news, Apple has revealed a bunch of new emoji for iPhone, including a pregnant man and two saucy symbols.
Experts have warned that future space launches could be jeopardised if "stupid" regimes like Russia don't stop blasting the skies creating debris.
And the most popular phone since the millennium has been unveiled, with many shocked to find out it's not an iPhone.
