Sports reviews of Toysmith 3-D Mirascope
Customer Review: Two minutes of wonderous enlightenment and joyous science
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I am buying another one of these because I was so impressed with the first. It's only seven dollars, and for that price, you'd be hard pressed to be able to purchase a floating frog anywhere else!
I bought the first one because I remember seeing a miroscope as a kid. This one is kind of small, but considering that your kids are only going to play with it for 120 seconds, it's well worth it.
Of course, you could always have your kids write a 120-word essay on it too (if you want to be put in a home after you get senile).
I have to agree with others that the frog is kind of big for this device. You'll only get the full effect if viewed from just the precise angle. But put a dime in it instead, and you'll get a fascinating illusion that can be seen from a much larger field of view. It literally looks like a real dime sitting on top of a black saucer. You can try to pick it up, and your fingers go right through it.
If you are a science geek like me, this will be some of the best seven bucks you've ever spent.
Description of Toysmith 3-D Mirascope
Instant Illusion Maker -- Creates 3-D hologram images to trick your eyes and your family and friends. The images look completely real and solid, but when you try to touch it, your finger appears to go right through it. -- The 3-D Mirascope consists of two parabolic mirrors that are facing each other - the top mirror has a hole in the center where the hologram effect takes place. Simply set an object in the bottom of the parabolic mirror, and it is suddenly projected as a solid object in the opening of the top mirror. Objects can be easily changed and the same incredible effect will be projected. Includes the mirascope, frog figurine, instructions, and information about holograms. -- Recommended ages 8 and up.Sports and Outdoors
