Magic Eye: A New Way of Looking at the World

I grew up with these at my cousin’s house. I was always intrigued and amazed with it. Being an auntie now, I wanted my niece and nephew to experience it as well, and they did and enjoyed the pictures they saw after “crossing their eye”!

I came upon this “Magic Eye” system purely by happenstance after reading about it in another book, so I decided to try it out to see if it really works.At first, I couldn’t see anything in the pictures. Then I learned how to use my “magic eye”, and now I’m having a beautiful experience with it.Doing the steady gaze at the pics to then make out the 3D images, is like doing a form of Zen Meditation which is surprisingly quite therapeutic. I love it.P.S. I've found that using a pencil to create 2 big dots above the pictures, and then using that as my concentrated focus - to assist in looking through the picture instead of directly at it - makes me see the pictures more quickly.

Birthday gift for 11 year old and EVERYONE loved it and looked for the illusive pictures.

Very fun interesting book.

We had this book as kids. And I was so happy when my husband surprised me and order it for me.

Teens love these books . Takes them sometime to see the picture . Once they do their expression is priceless .Great gift item .

I finally got to 'see' them and they are so fun

I had one of these books as a kid and was absolutely mesmerized by the hidden images. There was something magical about staring at a colorful page until—bam!—the picture popped into view. Naturally, now that I have kids of my own, I had to introduce them to the joy of staring at a colorful page instead of a digital screen.At first, they thought I was messing with them. “There’s nothing there, Dad.” But with a little patience (and some dramatic demonstrations from me), they’re starting to get the hang of it. Watching them go from frustrated squinting to excited shouts of “I see it!” has been just as fun as rediscovering the magic myself.If you loved these as a kid, do yourself a favor—grab a copy, relive the nostalgia, and pass the magic on. Just be prepared for some “I can’t see it!” complaints before the "aha!" moments start rolling in.
