An optical illusion, as one might say, is to trick the brain in believing things that are next to impossible. Sometimes it is the creative artwork that leaves us perplexed, but often it can be spotted unfolding in your surroundings. It is just the play of perception.
Like the ‘brown ball’ that left netizens scratching their heads, this time it is a viral video of vehicles disappearing into a bridge that is hitting headlines. The video shared by a Twitter user shows vehicles seemingly disappear as they drive towards a river.
This video perfectly explains that perception and reality are two different things.
“Yes, the traffic just disappears,” wrote Daniel in his tweet.

Twitter was taken aback with this sorcery and came up with their hilarious interpretation of the video. While for some the bridge holds similarity with the Bermuda Triangle, for Potter-heads, it was the secret pillar transcending them to the magical world of Harry Potter.
Hows that possible

But finally, someone broke it to the followers that it wasn’t much of an illusion but just a play of perception and shooting the video from a certain camera angle.
Its the roof of a building, the dirt underneath the wall creates the illusion (along with perspective) that it’s an overpass.

The video has been shot from the roof of a terrace. The water & dirt accumulation gives the appearance of a river & the terrace wall appears like a bridge

It’s a roof. Just odd perspective.
