Man's Facebook Post Selling an Invisibility Cloak Goes Viral for Exactly the Reason You Think 😂

Man's Facebook Post Selling an Invisibility Cloak Goes Viral for Exactly the Reason You Think 😂

Facebook "stuff for sale" groups are, for the most part, a nuisance. They clutter our notifications while rarely offering anything of value to our lives. Stewart Knox changed this, however, with an amazing product: an invisibility cloak, the likes of which has never been seen outside of Hogwarts.

Knox's post reads:

Selling my invisibility cloak. I have included one picture of the cloak and one with it on. Size 42 men's with a 15 inch collar and two inside pockets in colour blue. Still has tags on it, worn a few times but selling as I've put some weight on and is tight around the chest. Grab yourself a bargain.
Of course, a quick glance at any of the photos will reveal there is no cloak...or is there. Either Knox is pulling a fast one or this is the most high-quality garment since this scene from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone:



Stewart explained to UNILAD the motivations behind his post:

I had a bad hand injury so I was off work for a week recovery and I get bored very easily. I got the hand injury the first day back from our family holiday in Florida.

My nine-year-old son Daigan, he had bought one of those Harry Potter wands over there and we had talked about how awesome it would be if you could actually buy an invisibility cloak and what you could get up to with one.

Stewart's surname is an especially interesting coincidence, considering it's also a spell in the Harry Potter universe! Specifically, the one that turns off the light from "Lumos!"



Stewart continued:

If the post makes people laugh then I'll usually do it.

Laughter is the best medicine out there and I'm always looking for an angle to make a joke or make people laugh. It's the best thing in the world. You forget all your worries and fears.

Facebook loved his post and played along brilliantly. Garry Cross commented:

I'll take the invisibilty cloak it works well mate, I'll pay with cash my invisible £200, which you only need to hold up to the sun for 5-10 mins and it reappears, okay? will send it special delivery tomorrow.



Eric Mckenzie had a bit of a problem with the product:

Would have bought it had it been a darker blue

It actually turns out Knox might not be the first to put this item up for sale:




Congratulations to Scotland's best salesman: Stewart Knox, the pride of Edinburgh!

AOC Has Mic Drop Response To MAGA Republicans Who Try To Mock 'Democratic Priorities'

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez issued a powerful rebuke against President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, pointing out why mocking things like affordable housing and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as "Democrat priorities" ultimately hurts Republicans.

Ocasio-Cortez, speaking during a CNN town hall alongside Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, accused Republicans of refusing to work to end the government shutdown, stressing that the country’s health care system could collapse if Republicans refuse to meet Democrats’ demands in negotiations.

GOP Rep. Blames Coordinated 'Ruse' After Swastika Image Is Seen Displayed In His Office

Ohio Republican Representative Dave Taylor demanded an investigation after a swastika image was found on display in his Washington, D.C., office, and blamed it on a "targeted" "ruse."

Politico obtained a photo from a virtual meeting showing a distorted image of the American flag—its red and white lines altered into the shape of a swastika— pinned to what appears to be a cubicle wall behind Angelo Elia, a staffer for Taylor. Beside it hung a pocket Constitution and a congressional calendar. Elia’s involvement in the incident, if any, remains unclear.

Popular Account 'We Rate Dogs' Unloads On Border Patrol For Killing Family's Beloved Dog During Search

As the internet evolved, certain social media accounts became known for providing wholesome, feel good content, like I Can Has Cheezburger?, The Dodo, and We Rate Dogs. Unsurprisingly, all three focus primarily on animals, offering amusing or heartfelt stories, videos, and memes as an escape from the trials and tribulations of daily life.

But the folks at We Rate Dogs recently took a departure from their usual content.
