Another incredible optical illusion is taking the internet by storm. Twitter user Jagarikin created the illusion, which appears to show a set of figures running up and then jumping off a set of stairs. Dubbed the Super Illusion Brothers, the image is actually static. If you're asking yourself how that's possible, it's actually quite simple.
Jagarikin's work is a reverse-phi illusion. That means it uses light and dark colors to create a sense of movement. The high contrast between the flashing colors actually tricks our eye into seeing a static image as moving forward. It's easy enough to see that the figures aren't actually moving anywhere if you look at them individually without the interference of the others.
The only exception to these static figures is the one on the lower right. That one is actually moving their arms and legs back and forth, but even if you cover that figure up, the illusion continues to work. Hypnotic and mesmerizing, the image has caused quite a stir and prompted some strong reactions across Twitter. Give it a try for yourself and see if you are able to spot whether these Super Illusion Brothers are really moving anywhere or not. If you still can't see it, check out this image without the changing colors that demonstrates how the illusion fails if the colors stay the same.

In reality, as this image shows, it's all an illusion created by the changing colors.

The illusion has caused some strong reactions as people try to wrap their minds around the image.
Focus on the stairs and let your eyes relax like viewing a seeing eye picture from the 90s seems to stop them from jumping. Now for the guys over the stairs, I’m going to keep drinking for the night

Why did I watch this for 10 minutes waiting for the guy at the bottom right to reach the side…

This has had me wondering for a long time. Whenever I'm too lazy to change my keyboard's RBG function and it goes into rainbow mode, I swear it looks like the letters are moving ever so slightly depending on the momentary color. And this right here is exactly it. Crazy illusion.

So…I got a cramp in my jaw it was “dropped” for so long. Gobsmacking!
