Invisible Box Challenge: Latest Trend Taking Over Internet. Tried It Yet?
The trick requires a person to imagine a box in front of them, 'step over it' and then walk forward.
Every few months, social media finds a new craze and makes it a trend to follow. We've had the Ice Bucket Challenge, bottle flip challenge, mannequin challenge, cinnamon challenge, and more filling people's timelines off and on. Right now the challenge taking over social media is the rather difficult Invisible Box Challenge. If you haven't been living under a rock, you've probably already seen a significant number of videos showing people taking what some refer to as the invisible step. So now social media is trying its best to copy the trick and post their video achieving the feat. Those who can't are sharing even funnier videos showing them royally failing at it.

"Honestly, that was the first time I had ever tried it," Ariel Olivar, a junior at Manvel High School, Texas told Chron.com. "The video was my third time trying it. It's hard to explain, I just keep the leg in the same exact spot. It is actually kind of challenging keeping it there. The technique, if you want to make it look like [the video], is to bring the other leg higher than the other as if you are actually stepping over a box."

While Ms Olivar's explanation seems easy enough to understand, it is far tougher to actually follow to get the perfect result.

Even though many on social media have mastered the trick, others, not so much. Take a look:
