We love a good optical illusion, and this one is a beauty.
Using a flashing color effect, you can swear the little characters in this image ride the moving stairs and leap off the top. But look closer. There’s almost no motion in the scene at all.
Created by Twitter user Jagarikin, the effect is called a reverse-phi illusion. Pretty neat, huh? Via MyModernMet:

agreed, love it when your eyes can play tricks on you.
This was terrific!! I kept waiting for the “loop” but realized they never moved… so great!
