TikToker Taylor Nikolai revealed the amazing illusion to his 1.9 million followers on the platform.

“This will blow your mind, I don’t know how this works,” he said.

The picture shows a seemingly normal 03 and 20.

But flip your screen and the two swap, making 03 20 and vice versa.

“How does your brain do that?” asked the confused TikToker.

People were blown away in the comments too.

“What just happened?” asked a surprised user.

“I didn’t see it at first, but when I looked away and then looked at it again, I saw it,” explained another.

It turns out that both images are actually the same, only one is flipped.

Why it produces a different number is due to the dotted pixel format of the text.

“It’s just a perspective,” said one attentive viewer.

“That’s because there’s a gap in the numbers.

“So it can be viewed as both, depending on how you look at it.”
