The next viral challenge that is sweeping the internet is the invisible box challenge. The challenge is simple, you pat the air in front of you like a mime feeling a box in front of themselves. Then you pretend to step over the box, that isn’t there. Hence the name invisible box challenge.
The invisible box challenge started going viral thanks to this cheerleader’s video. She didn’t just nail the challenge she invented the damn thing.

While many, and I mean many, others failed miserably. Jumping over an invisible box is not easy.

According to Kelly Ripa, there is no trick to the invisible box challenge. She tried it at home and couldn’t get over the box. Naturally, she made her co-host of LIVE, Ryan Seacrest attempt the challenge on air. He did it pretty successfully.

But there are a few ways to have a successful invisible box challenge attempt. Don’t make you invisible box height high. The key to making sure that the invisible box looks real is that your foot that swings over the box goes higher than the foot resting on the box. Make the height low and swing your foot high. It might take a few attempts but you’ll nail it eventually.
