An optical illusion has been shared on Reddit that is so needlessly creepy it made me shiver. The illusion itself is mind-boggling and makes you want to watch twice, but it's the presentation of it that is so unnerving – with a solitary eye staring at you and a voiceover that belongs with Halloween.

I won't explain anymore about the illusion before you've seen it because it's the art of surprise that makes this one feel the most surprising. Titled 'Black Magic', it really does feel like that... but I'll let you find out for yourself below. It's a version of a classic optical illusion, and I think it's a good one.
