Origin
On November 25th, 2020, jakesterguy, who is known for his Ring doorbell videos, uploaded a video to TikTok [1] taken through a Ring video camera where he runs up to the door with a children's magic toy, which makes it appear as if a ball is disappearing when covered and uncovered again (shown below). He performs the trick for the camera, then gets extremely close to it and says, "magic," all while under an on-screen caption reading, "Proof We Live in a Simulation." The video gained over 19.8 million views in just over a month. On November 29th, Textile George re-uploaded the video to YouTube,[2] garnering over 1.2 million views in a month.
