The incredible illusion makes your surroundings become warped
The trippy mind trick features a black and white striped star shape with a cross in the centre, surrounded by a similar monochrome pattern.
Viewers must keep their eyes firmly on the cross in the clip to feel the full effects of the mind-boggling trick.
But don’t worry, you are allowed to blink.
The illusion then swaps between green and purple hues for 20 seconds while viewers remain entranced.
When the time is up, illusion enthusiasts discovered that when they looked up from their screen the entire room around them would appear to warp.
The amazing trick works because the communication between your eyes and brain gets mixed-up when looking at the confusing video.
The information your eyes gather, for some reason, doesn’t make it to your brain straight away and so you can see things ripple that are actually still.
By the end of the video, the striped lines became more difficult to focus on, making your eyes blurry before the illusion had even taken full effect.
The extraordinary clip was shared by content creator and optical admirer DrDIYhax.
The YouTuber regularly shares wacky vids with his subscribers to freak out fans of mind tricks.
Flabbergasted fans of his work were left astonished by the effects of the illusion, with one dubbing it “very cool”.
Another user commented: “That is unreal. Anyone else scared to look away half way through the video lmao!!! Nuts.”
While a third added: “Cool video, really trippy probably one of the best I’ve seen.”
If you’re into optical illusions be sure not to miss this one too, which makes your surroundings appear to move.
Viewers have to concentrate on the square-shaped red dot to experience the incredible trick.
Another amazing illusion can even reveal a colour your computer display is not able to show.
The colour is known as ‘true cyan’.
There is also a so-called ‘super-illusion’ that makes you see things that don’t exist.
The trippy animation appears to show a stickman climbing stairs and jumping, but your eyes are very much deceiving you.
