Mirascope

For someone who will try to pick up a frog that is not there.

Oddity 1 is familiar. 5 is genuinely strange.

Two parabolic mirrors that project a small object so it appears to sit on top of the dish. A finger goes through it.

Three reasons

  1. The illusion is optical, not a screen and not a trick photograph.
  2. The included frog can be swapped for any other small object.
  3. The link is the Toysmith 6-inch mirascope, model 79747.
