This 6-inch device uses paired parabolic mirrors to reflect light from a tiny object, producing a floating image that looks real but cannot be touched. A small plastic frog is included so you can try it immediately, and any small household object can be used to create different effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Mirascope create a 3D holographic effect?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside the Mirascope are two concave parabolic mirrors placed facing each other. When you place a small object at the bottom of the device, the mirrors capture and redirect light rays. The resulting image appears to hover in the circular opening at the top. This is not a digital projection or laser — it is a pure optical illusion based on reflection. The image may appear solid, but reaching for it will reveal that nothing is there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat objects can you use with the Mirascope?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can use any small object that fits inside the Mirascope. The included plastic frog works well, but you can experiment with coins, small toys, keys, rings, or even a piece of fruit. Different objects produce different visual effects — the illusion is most convincing with objects that have distinct shapes and bright colors. Try placing the object at different angles to see how the projected image changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho is this toy for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Mirascope is designed for ages 8 and up. It is a great conversation piece for adults and a fascinating science demonstration for kids. It works well in classrooms to teach concepts of light reflection and optics, or as a novelty item at parties. Because the effect relies on mirrors, it works in any lighting condition, though a well-lit room makes the illusion clearer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePowerTRC 6\" 3-D Mirascope Illusion Maker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 inches diameter (approximate)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded items\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 plastic frog\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlastic with parabolic mirrors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended age\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 years and up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePowerTRC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I touch the holographic image?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The image is an optical illusion created by mirrors — it is not a physical object.
