As they entered the stage, the six gentlemen walked sideways towards the center, their arms on each other’s shoulders.

It was unclear whether this was part of their act or a necessary measure to maintain balance.

Regardless, their entrance was far from grand, but it certainly piqued the curiosity of the audience.

The real question was, how were they going to move while dressed like that?

What kind of dance were they going to perform?

As they reached the center of the stage, they began to march forward and back, crossing one leg over the other.

The audience instantly erupted into laughter, their minds struggling to process the visual trickery.

According to Wikipedia, “An optical illusion (also called a visual illusion) is an illusion caused by the visual system and characterized by a visual percept that arguably appears to differ from reality.”

Many find it struggling to comprehend what was happening in the midst of their performance.

The best course of action was to simply sit back, watch, and enjoy the hilarity of the situation.
