Have you taken the Invisible Box challenge, yet? (Source: Ariel/Twitter)
Trends sweeping over social media is not a new phenomenon. Challenges such as Planking, The Harlem Shake, Ice Bucket Challenge, Mannequin Challenge, among others, have been quite a rage on the Internet, with people enthusiastically participating in them. Now a new challenge – the Invisible Box – has become a viral sensation.
In this, the participant pretends to keep a box in front of them on the floor and then pats the imaginary top in order to create an illusion of a solid object. Then they later raise a foot, pretending to step on the imaginary box before them and then hop their other leg to land on the side, while keeping the foot, that was raised mid-air, suspended. Several people are trying this and recently a high school cheer leader – identified as Ariel – accepted this challenge and left people on social media stunned.
She uploaded the video on December 3 and, it has, since then, left people on Twitter impressed and amazed. While one user wrote, I’ve watched this about 20 times in a row and I still don’t understand ?? like, how??” another wrote, “I’ve been watching for at least 3 minutes straight which is similar to “All day” in our ADD society.” Some users accepted the challenge and uploaded videos of the same.
