Bestseller!

Gaze in wonder as mysterious images transform into magical animations in Magic Moving Images, Tarquin's scanimation optical illusions book. All you need is the special acetate overlay provided to bring the images to life.

Optical illusions that come to life on every page

• Make the horse gallop.
• Watch a flag wave.
• Slide the overlay and see 3D objects turn.
• See London landmarks come to life.
• Many other familiar objects spin, rotate and animate through the pages of the book.

How this animated optical illusions book works for kids

Each printed image looks still until the clear acetate film passes across it. Then it plays as moving pictures, frame by frame: a book of illusions rather than a picture book. Hands-on, the idea clicks when kids slow the overlay down and watch each separate frame appear.

In practice, this animation toy book is suitable for all ages. It suits curious kids at home or a teacher opening a lesson on how the eye is tricked.

Party bag and stocking filler gift packs

Tarquin also offers Party Bag or Stocking Filler Packs in 5s or 10s: one images book for every guest or stocking. As a gift, it needs no batteries or set-up, just the overlay.
