This Teen's Optical Illusion Video On TikTok Has People Baffled

A Filipina teen's optical illusion video on TikTok has users trying to figure out how she performed the trick.

The 19-year-old, known as Tori Pareno on the popular social media platform, posted a video in which she pulled off the “magic trick.” The trick is to place your right hand in front of you, palm facing out, with your left hand just behind it, according to Metro. The fingers of the left hand are then closed over the right hand, with your left fingers passing through your right fingers. Then you let go of your front hand and straighten your back hand as you form a fist with your front hand.

Pareno performs the illusion perfectly in her music video and looks stunned herself.

“THAT WAS MY FIRST TRY LOL,” she captions the clip.

Pareno's video has since gone viral. As of Monday afternoon, the TikTok clip had received more than 763,000 likes and nearly 4,000 comments.

“I'm not going to lie, it tripped me up the first time,” one person wrote.

“I would be as excited as her if I could do it,” another replied.

According to Metro, another person previously shared a video of herself performing a similar trick. In August 2018, a Twitter user with the username @kay_dera posted a clip in which her right hand appears to slide through her left hand. The clip has been viewed more than 3.5 million times.

“Let's see how far this goes,” the user tweeted at the time.
