The easiest way to test this is from a smartphone.
This is because the only way it works is to start by holding the image in front of your face.
Then you should slowly move it back and you should see the hidden.
If you need a clue, it’s an animal (and we’ll reveal what it really is at the bottom of this page).
This type of illusion is officially known as an autostereogram.
Most people know it by its much simpler name, Magic Eye, after a series of famous books about it.
It does magic by basically tricking our eyes and brain into seeing a three-dimensional scene within a two-dimensional image.
TikToker Cloutatlas revealed this latest hack to fans, garnering over 12,000 likes in five days.
But the illusion does not come easily to everyone.
A commenter has a tip if you’re having trouble viewing it.
“Imagine looking out your window at some view, then focus on your window glass,” they said.
– It will appear to you.
Once that works, you should see a hidden animal which is… an elephant.
