Are your eyes playing tricks on you? They will, when you look into your Mind’s Eye! Astonish
yourself with optical illusions as you explore the science of human
perception in this fascinating kit.
Find your blind spot and watch things
disappear. Use special glasses to detect the errors in a counterfeit
bill. Spot the blood vessels in your eye. Make a curved line look
straight. Turn cardboard transparent. See the world shrink. Make
white by mixing red, green and blue, and see colors in black and
white! Learn first-hand how your eye and brain work together to
perceive color, light, depth, perspective, size, shape and motion.
