Moon Slicing Illusion Explained

The moon isn't actually being cut in these videos. It's a clever illusion using forced perspective

and careful camera angles. Content creators hold a knife close to the lens while

filming the moon in the distance, making it appear as if the blade is slicing through

it. The satisfying sound you hear is added in post-production, usually scraping

metal or cutting soft materials like soap or clay. This viral trend combines optical

trickery with ASMR audio to create a mesmerizing effect that feels oddly real,

even though you're watching something physically impossible happen right before your eyes.
