Experience astonishing illusions and fascinating effects on your own body: The brain can be misled faster than you think! Distorting mirrors, the captivating sphericon, and self-designed 3D images present small puzzles and amaze with optical illusions. Can a figure have two shapes at the same time? Why can I suddenly no longer draw the simplest things? The Brain Tricks not only entertain but also spark curiosity about STEM and science!

A guide accompanies each experiment, explaining the objects and shedding light on the darkness of illusions, helping you understand what your own eyes can hardly believe. The KOSMOS experiment kit teaches children aged 8 to 12 how their brains work and invites them on a rollercoaster ride through their own heads!

From ambiguous figures to self-designed 3D images and the fascinating sphericon – each experiment is a little puzzle. The exciting tour through the world of optical illusions demonstrates how our brains function. The guide explains what you really don’t want to believe your own eyes! It’s best to put on the multi-functional glasses right away and test the astonishing 3D, sharp, and spectral vision through various experiments. This KOSMOS experiment kit is like jogging for the brain for children aged 8 to 12 and continues to fascinate time and again!
