Well Internet, you’ve done it again. The Red Bull sponsored video below features Jason Paul and Pasha Petkuns freerunning and crafting incredible optical illusions in the process.

“Life as a freerunner means the whole world is your playground,” the video description reads, “or is it just one big illusion? Jason Paul and Pasha Petkuns play tricks on your mind in this bizarre video as they defy gravity, slide down bananas, and twist our brains with their freerunning illusions.”

‘Bizarre’ is certainly an appropriate adjective here. You’ll be scratching your head more than once as you try, and inevitably fail, to figure out how some of these tricks were accomplished. Even the tricks that you can wrap your head around are still incredibly cool.

This is an exercise in creativity in the purest and coolest sense of the word.
