 Not the image quality of the "Mirage", but good enoughJun 04, 2010
By Rick Moore
I bought the more expensive "Mirage" which is a higher quality (less distorted) image than this but this is by comparison may be the better buy when it comes to value for your buck. It accomplishes what the Mirage does with just a little less flare. If you have no Mirage to compare it to you will be completely satisfied.

very cool illusionMar 06, 2008
By Sue
This product uses two parabolic mirrors to create the illusion of a small object (e.g. a penny) floating above the object's actual location. The resulting image is very clear and sharp, and can be viewed from a reasonable range of angles. I found that the mirror scratched easily, hence the lower mark for durability; otherwise it is pretty rugged. A quibble: because the illusion is produced with mirrors it is incorrect to refer to it as a hologram, which is produced by interference.

 3-D MirascopeJul 01, 2008
By Fred E. Svekric
Fun, educational toy. One problem is that the frog that comes with the toy is too large. A smaller lady bug purchased separately works much better in creating the desired effect.

A great foolerMay 17, 2011
By H. L. Landis
No one is too old to enjoy a "toy" like this. I put it on a display shelf outside my apartment in a retirement community on April Fool's day with a sign that said "Try to pick up the frog." The illusion that the frog is sitting on top of the bowl instead of inside it fooled people 100%. I got numerous amazed reactions, and several people wondered where they could get one like it for their grandchildren. It's not a toy that will occupy a child's attention for hours and hours, but it's well worth its low price for the temporary interest it creates.

Adults love it, too!Dec 28, 2007
By Royann L. Cross
We first found this toy in New Zealand and soon realized the one we bought was not enough. We were delighted to find it at Amazon and enjoy how adults and well as children are facinated with it. We even bought one for ourselves! R. Cross
