Review: I haven’t seen it, but.. - I had gotten this little optical illusion device for my great niece, whom from what I was told, ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! As did her dad, who told me how much she liked it & how even HE was enjoying playing around with it! I remembered seeing it as a kid myself, (yes, it’s been around THAT long) and how - since then it was kind of new - tripped out / impressed I was with it. Thought it would make a great gift, and I was RIGHT!
Review: Mind‑Bending Illusion — A Fun Conversation Starter (and a good joke for the newcomers to the bar). - We bought two Toysmith 3‑D Mirascopes because we were hoping to amplify the floating virtual image using a magnifier lens. Unfortunately, that part didn’t work—the illusion is created by the mirrors, and adding a lens in front doesn’t actually enlarge the hologram. Still, the device itself works exactly as advertised and produces a surprisingly realistic floating image, with a good lighting. Even without the magnifier trick, this little gadget is a perfect prop for the bar. Newcomers—especially the slightly tipsy ones—are completely fascinated by the “floating” object and always try to grab it. It never fails to get a laugh and spark conversation. 👍 Pros Creates a convincing floating 3‑D illusion Simple, durable, and easy to use Great for kids, adults, and party settings Perfect conversation starter for a bar or game room Works with many small objects 👎 Cons The virtual image cannot be magnified with a lens Works best with very small, lightweight items Overall Even though the magnifier experiment didn’t pan out, the Mirascope itself is a fun, clever little illusion maker. It’s inexpensive, entertaining, and always gets a reaction. A great novelty item for both kids and adults. Why the magnifier didn’t work? The Mirascope creates a virtual image using two parabolic mirrors. That image appears to float above the opening, but it isn’t a real, physical point in space—so a magnifying lens has nothing to “grab onto.” Magnifiers only enlarge real images or objects, not virtual ones created by mirror reflections. That’s why the illusion looks real to your eyes but can’t be optically enlarged.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What do you do with this thing? I am a grandma.  Help**
A: I have purchased it for my son he is 4 year old and he is so excited to see this elusion/magic type of thing so its good for kids

**Q: can the effect be seen by a one-eyed person?**
A: Depends on where they're looking, doesn't it?

**Q: Everyone says the frog is too big, but no one says how big an object will work well. What Size does the object have to be?**
A: I had great luck using (A) a single Cheerio; (B) a Lego piece, the smallest one they make with a single bump on it; (C) a small marble; (D) a ‘Go’ game playing piece a bit less than 1/2” in diameter; (E) a dime. The problem with the frog which is about 1” in all dimensions is that from many viewing angles you go beyond the edge of what the mirascope can handle, so the frog only works perfectly from a very precise viewing position. The height of the object is more an issue than the diameter. The smaller items will work from many more viewing positions. Small items like the cheerio, for example, are startling how well it works — you would swear the cheerio is right there, but it’s not.

**Q: how does it work for a dog treat?**
A: What dog doesn't like optical illusion?  A treat for me and a treat for the dog to play with.
