Q: What do you do with this thing? I am a grandma. Help

I have purchased it for my son he is 4 year old and he is so excited to see this elusion/magic type of thing so its good for kids

Q: can the effect be seen by a one-eyed person?

Depends on where they're looking, doesn't it?

Q: Everyone says the frog is too big, but no one says how big an object will work well. What Size does the object have to be?

I had great luck using (A) a single Cheerio; (B) a Lego piece, the smallest one they make with a single bump on it; (C) a small marble; (D) a ‘Go’ game playing piece a bit less than 1/2” in diameter; (E) a dime. The problem with the frog which is about 1” in all dimensions is that from many viewing angles you go beyond the edge of what the mirascope can handle, so the frog only works perfectly from a very precise viewing position. The height of the object is more an issue than the diameter. The smaller items will work from many more viewing positions. Small items like the cheerio, for example, are startling how well it works — you would swear the cheerio is right there, but it’s not.

Q: how does it work for a dog treat?

What dog doesn't like optical illusion? A treat for me and a treat for the dog to play with.
