Toysmith, 3-D Mirascope, 6" Instant Hologram Image Maker, For Boys & Girls 8+

I forgot I bought this, still have it somewhere.

Awesome makes thinks look like they are floating holograms. The disc is smaller than i thought i was though.

I agree with other reviews, this can be fragile to handle. The plastic mirror surface essentially cannot get dirty because if you try to clean it it's VERY easy to scratch. Which ruins the effect. (Also the top and bottom came apart in my hands while trying to put it away, but it goes right back together.)The effect is a trip! I would say for the price it's totally worth it for an older/careful child. For a careless or young kid, expect this to not last beyond 1 or 2 uses.

A fantastic mind expander for 5-86 year olds! Fun, too. Real brain food.

Be very careful when cleaning the mirror surfaces, they are very easily scratched and I ruined mine by just trying to wipe the accumulated dust off the bottom mirror with a cotton cloth! If you need to clean I would recommend using a can of compressed air, you cannot clean anything that requires wiping as the mirror will scratch and affect will be lost. Does what it says and overall worth the price (less than $10). I would rate it higher if it were a bit larger to accommodate some larger objects and if the base was attached to the bottom mirror piece (the small round bottom is a separate piece), it would also be nice if the top mirror somehow locked onto the bottom mirror (maybe like a quarter turn twist to lock or similar). The frog that comes with it is very small but does look cool floating in the air, you cannot use an object that is much larger than the frog that it comes with. It is cool that you can move your finger through the projected object and it doesn't stop you from seeing parts of the object where your finger is not blocking it (unless you have very large fingers that will block the whole object. You have to view the floating object at about a 45 degree angle, if you are looking from the side or more than a 45 degree angle the object will disappear but I cannot fault the product for that since that is just how the mirror reflection works. It is a neat toy for kids and they will be amazed by the floating object.

This thing is unreal. You won't believe how cool it looks until you see it. The object inside appears as a hologram at the top of the opening, and it looks 3D, has all the colors and shapes, everything. I'm completely sold on the concept, now I'm looking for a bigger, sturdier one - but at this price, this is totally worth it.

The media could not be loaded. This works perfectly. You just need to look at it from the right angle but evrything besides that is good

To get the illusion you need to be in a pretty constrained spot (45° angle top down with part of the inside mirror visible through the small hole) but... The effect is extremely good. Jaw dropping.Very good price for the result but also very sensible mirror surface (prone to scratching).
