The latest trend in social media has optical illusion which translates as “magic” to those whose eyes are not fast enough. Twitter user @kay_dera posted a video of herself doing a swapping hand trick that quickly went viral. The tweet gained over 3.43 million views, 32,648 retweets, and 85,712 likes.
