Magic Eye: A New Way of Looking at the World (Volume 1)

Anyone who grew up in the 90’s knows Magic Eye! I purchased the book for my boss as a birthday gift. He was thrilled! Nostalgic and 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.

Back in the mid to late 1990s my kids loved these books and I learned to as well.They might even be therapeutic as they teach you how to relax your vision.Since we spend so much of our day staring acutely at computer/phone screens seems like there is value in that. Of course the main point is old fashioned fun! I am presenting a class to high school students on how often we fail to perceive what is right in front of us so these books will be my visual aids to illustrate the concept.Unfortunately I was only able to locate one of the many, many Magic Eye books from my son's collection so I purchased this one AGAIN!!! I think this generation will enjoy them also.Got to admit I wish it still cost what it did last time!! LOL

Love this book! Loved it when I was a kid and still do! Brought it to our family cottage and everyone was going crazy over it! Brought us great joy and it was fun to see how different people acquired the 3D picture!

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

Great condition. Just as described.

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.

I bought this for my Husband as a gift and he loved it. Worth the money to see him enjoying himself :)
