This mind-boggling TikTok is making me question reality

Who doesn't love an optical illusion? The brain-bogglers have been keeping us here at Creative Bloq entertained for a while now. But every now and then we'll stumble upon an illusion that simply leaves us questioning our entire reality – just like today's find.

The TikTok begins with an unassuming shot of what looks like a brick, but it descends into mind-frazzling chaos. If you're loving this illusion and would like to sink your teeth into some more, then make sure you check out our roundup of the best optical illusions
