You won't believe
your eyes! This instant illusion maker creates an amazing 3D hologram. The image
looks completely real but you can't touch it - your hand goes straight through
the image as it would air. Wow! A unique science gadget that works because of
mirrored optics. Simply place the included frog (or any small object) into the
mirascope and watch it appear to hover in mid-air before your eyes. In 3D. A
great classroom resource to engage children in integrated science units on
light, colour and optical illusions. Watch them try to grab
it.

What
you get
Mirascope made of
durable plastic (15cm diameter, center hole measures 3.8cm), complete

works.
How
does it work?
Parabolic mirrors
are the key to how this mirascope works. We don't want to give too much away,
but two parabolic mirrors (special curved mirrors) work together in the
mirascope to create the 3D hologram. Use it teach some math as well as science.
A more detailed explanation is included with this cool science toy.
