I have purchased 7 of these over the years because they get handled so much! Thousands of people handle them (therefore it is no fault that they wear down.) All ages love this and are amazed.
My students love the Mirage device.

I use it as a great demonstration of real images versus virtual images. It leads into a great discussion of magic and holographic technology. Cleaning fingerprints off is a bit tricky, otherwise it is very easy to use.

My 5, 7 and 10 year olds were very intrigued by the image. They have great fun playing with it. The only limitation is that the real object size is limited to a size of less than 0.75 inch. I would strongly recommend purchasing the larger size version if money allows.

Great way to elicit ideas from students! How does it work? A wonderful way to introduce an optics unit, with the goal to be able to understand and explain this phenomena.
