5.0 out of 5 stars Magic Eye for my Magic I August 8, 2001

By "franksolo"

Format:Hardcover

This book is absolutely amazing. My first experience with these kind of prints was framed hanging on a friend's wall. I was thoroughly captivated by it. By this time, the fad of Magic Eye had worn off, but to me it was fresh and exciting. So I began searching for more. Low and behold, here it is. And for a dollar if used!!! This is an extremely addictive and entertaining type of art that I wish I could a computer program for to create my own. If you are as fortunate as I am to be able to catch sight of these images, then this book is a must have. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars You Never Forget Your First Time December 14, 2005

By Ellie Reasoner

Format:Hardcover

Yep, the first time those seemingly random sqiggles of color in Magic Eye leap into formation and you're staring down at an object under all that chaotic visual mess...it's a magic moment for sure. These books are a lot of fun and worth the effort it takes to get the knack of how to do it. It took me a few tries before I saw anything here, so if at first you don't succeed, stay with it because it's worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars 3D Books Never Get Old September 24, 2011

By David Jeffords

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought this book because I wanted to show someone the Magic Eye pictures. They had never seen anything like them before and couldn't get it. There weren't any at the nearby bookstores so I looked on Amazon and found the original for a cheap price. I was initially somewhat disappointed because the pictures weren't as complex as I remembered, but I soon realized that it started out very simple and got more and more complicated. It's good for beginners, which is who this was for. When I received it I immediately "read" the whole book before I gave it away. Part of the book cover was a little bent in transport. Disappointing, but overall not a big deal. I'm glad I made the purchase.
