THIS bizarre optical illusion tricks the mind if you focus on it.
Many optical illusions use color and movement to confuse the human brain, and a TikTok user with the hashtag @kingkhieu illustrated how.

In the 31-second clip, Michael shows his viewers a complex two-dimensional image with a circular center.
He then advises them to “not blink” and look at the center of the image for 15 seconds straight.
“The world around you will start to reshape itself,” said the TikTok content creator. “Are you ready?”
Soon after, the black and white image begins to move, appearing almost three-dimensional as it rotates in different directions.
After Michael finished the 15-second countdown, he asked his users to look around them, especially their hands.
If the challenge is successfully completed, users should be able to see their hands “reshape”, as if pixelation has formed.
How does this work?
There are several types of optical illusions; this is classified as ‘physiological’.
These types of illusions are highly dependent on overstimulating the brain’s senses.
They are considered more complex than other types because they involve light, movement, color, dimension, and size that trick the brain.
Michael’s video has garnered a lot of attention since it was released a few weeks ago.
Nearly 12,000 people liked the content and dozens more left comments under the video.
“Dude, I was in Minecraft for six seconds,” said one user, accompanying his sentiment with some emoji.
“Wow, that’s crazy, everything is moving,” another user commented.
“I saw the comments move,” chimed in a third TikToker.
