Only those with the eyes of a hawk will be able to fathom this astonishing illusion.

Magic Eye artwork became popular in the 1990s as a way to test 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 within a two-dimensional image by manipulating a repeating pattern to control perceived depth.

In this example, the infinity symbol is hidden within a colorful pattern of gorgeous swirls.

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

First, you need to relax your eyes and get as close to the screen as possible while staring at the image.

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

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

Alternatively, you can start this distance from the screen and look through the image, as if it were a window.

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

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

However, if not, try moving your head slightly from side to side and maybe some depth will be revealed.

It’s a skill that takes practice to develop, so don’t worry if you don’t see anything yet.

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

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

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

“I’ve been showing it to a few different hunters and they all say they see it way before they see it, out of pride,” he joked.

“They see it eventually, real hunters will, but usually not until the very end,” Scott continued.

The video received more than 22 thousand likes and thousands of comments.
