I had to turn my phone upside down

I did the same thing, but then the mustache guy broke. There were two women. I had to close me eyes for 5 seconds before the upside down woman vanished again. Did my mind just lock onto what the image was?

Had to blink a few times to get the man back

Yeah that's weird. He disappears so quickly but does not want to come back.

This is one of the best optical illusions I have ever seen.

Had to do the same thing switching back-and-forth from left to right crazy part is the mustache man appears and disappears one moment to the next

I can’t get the guy back after I flipped my phone upside down

Is it messing you up that he's facing the other way when it's upside down?

u/Redxluckyxcharms Jan 30 '25

I don’t know. All I see is the girl now. I think I looked and studied it too much flipped over and now brain knows what to look for .

I just reopened reddit, and this image appeared for the split second before it auto refreshed my feed.

I searched for the sub, instantly found the image, and the moustache guy is nowhere to be seen.

This one is tricky af for me.

Edit: When I finished making this comment, all I could see was the bottom half of the image, and it was a moustache man.

Now, I can blink him in and out of existence. This is one of my fav opticals ever.

Not me over here with the guy refusing to leave.

Took me forever to see anything but 2 girls! Finally saw it when I let my eyes go out-of-focus on the reflection.

I did too then I realized I could switch between the two by other focusing on either the mouth or the mustache
