The Shadow Magic Kit is either a genius gizmo or just weird, and we haven’t quite worked out which. Basically we’re talking strobe lighting which freezes shadows on walls. There see, told ya. Why would you want to do this? Well maybe you’re Peter Pan, dufus. $24.95.
This high-tech strobe freezes shadows on the wall – you keep moving, but your shadow doesn’t. Add doodles, details and other drawings with the special light pen. Amaze your friends and discover a whole new art form – shadow art!
My 5 year old has this toy. Its basically a rollable vinyl sheet coated with glow-in-the-dark paint, and a high-intensity strobe (like a camera flash.)
The 5-6 year olds at his party played with it for quite a while.
I wonder what a gallon of glow-in-the-dark beadroom paint goes for?
