Guess which one I'm aiming for here. The goal is... | $15 to wish list | |

Presidential Optical OpenerDavid DevlinWhen David released The Optical Opener he had no idea that it would be so wildly popular.

It is not something that can be apparently done impromptu (unless, of course, you put the images on your electronic device). This is the original application that David came up with for this great optical illusion: The magician removes a Dollar bill from his wallet.... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |
