A MIND-bending optical illusion of Egyptian pyramids will blow you away – but not everyone can see.
TikTok star Hectic Nick posted the visual brain teaser to social media, telling his 3.9million fans: “This will trick your eyes”.
In the video, he explains to his followers: “What your about to see is gonna freak you out.”
An image appears of a blue pyramid on an orange background with a black dot in the centre.
Hectic Nick instructs viewers: “Focus on the black dot in the middle of this pyramid!
“After a little bit I’m gonna show you the same image but in black and white.

“Although to you! It’s gonna appear to be in full colour. So watch this!”
The image then changes to a black and white picture – but the audience should be able to see the colours.
He asks: “It looks to be in color right? Well watch what happens when you blink. It will suddenly appear to be black and white.”
But despite Hectic Nick’s energetic performance, bright text-on-screen and upbeat music, many of the 1,410 people who commented couldn’t see the illusion.
One person said: “Am I the only one who saw black and white even when I stared at the dot???”
Another said: “did not work”.
One more wrote: “WRONG for one it didnt work on me + I DID IT LIKE 26 TIMES” while someone else joked: “I think that I’m gona get Rick rolled again.”
Others felt like they came close, with one person saying: “i saw the blue sky but the pyrmaid i still grey”.
Another added: “The sky was blue when you changed the filter until I blink.”
The video has been viewed more than 682,000 times and received more than 51,600 likes.

Hectic Nick also shared an illusion so baffling that people took to the comments section of his TikTok video to search for the answer.
The image was a black and white image of a cartoon dog, with a black circular nose and two circular ears.
