5.0 out of 5 stars Simple but amazing 22 May 2007
By Kooky
Format:Paperback
The visual effect demonstrated in this little book to animate images on each page is stunning in its simplicity and effectiveness. The illusion of movement generated by just sliding a plastic sheet over each page is perfect. With a wide variety of subjects, from gears to galloping horses, DNA to dolphins, there's something to thrill and amaze every reader. A perfect gift for any occasion.

This book is fab but be warned - it is very small & thin so would definitely not suit as a main present. Would make a great gift for Pass the Parcel though!

4.0 out of 5 stars Clever and Fun 5 July 2009
Format:Paperback
This is a very clever little book. Getting static images on a single page to animate is a wonderful gimmick that is bound to impress most people. If there is a down side, it is that there are not that many images in this rather slim book and once you've had a go at making each image move, that's pretty much it. Having said that, the cheap cover price makes it worth purchasing just to view from time-to-time, or to have as a coffee table book for visitors to enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice effects
The animated effects in this booklet are very good. It would be nice to see a larger version - obviously would be more expensive. Good value at £3.87

Yes, it's small, You can actually see that in the "product details" section. But there's no need for something bigger, the trick works anyway. And it's a good one. Read more
