TikTok users took to the comments section of Pete Sciarrino’s video to share their answers.

It seems people struggled to agree on what the “correct” answer is, with some people seeing a typewriter, while others saw a bottle, a bunk bed, a cup, a bus and even a slice of toast.

One person was particularly unsure about what was in the circle, but thanked the magician for providing the illusion.

“Cheeseburger? cupcake? Candle? Nice illusion. Enjoy stimulating the brain.”

Another user quipped that the only thing they could see clearly was Sciarrino himself.

One person said they could see something but they couldn’t pinpoint exactly what that was.

“I see it. looks familiar but cant say for sure.”

The majority of people who commented on the Tik Tok video seem to be able to see a bottle in the middle of the darker pink circle.

One person has asked Sciarrino what the right answer is, but he is yet to respond.

So, we don’t yet know what is the hidden image here - but we’re enjoying finding out what different people can see.
