Magic tricks, illusions, puzzles and scientific curiosities are all simply presented and colourfully illustrated for children to read and perform. Most of the ideas require nothing more than everyday objects; balloons probably being the must unsuual. A few highlights include turning water into wine, climbing through a piece of paper and slicing a banana without peeling it. Eighty pages in total, hard back.

Give a little piece of Sunshine with the Sun Jar! A whimsical notion, stylishly made reality in the form of this traditional glass jar. A solar panel in the lid collects the sun, which charges rechargeable batteries during the day. As soon as it’s dark the jar illuminates magically, producing a soft and diffused candle-like glow, for up to five hours. One jar adds a gentle ambience to a room a few jars could produce a fairyland effect (think ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’!), particularly outside, as they are also waterproof. Beautiful and elegant.

You may already be familiar with our Backwards Clock: now you can take the conversation starter with you wherever you travel. This looks like a rather innocent watch until you realise the second hand is moving anti-clockwise. Closer inspection reveals that the whole clock face is in reverse, and you`re certain the minute hand just moved… backwards? Once you`ve familiarised yourself with its peculiar quirk, this wristwatch is as easy to read as any other. It has an adjustable canvas strap and comes in a rather smart presentation tin. Wear it on the bus and the puzzled reactions will be most entertaining!

These Christmas Angels are the prettiest little version of this idea that we’ve seen. Heat from the night-light (provided) rises, causing the angel adorned propellers to slowly rotate. The whole thing is a charming ornament – a few placed on the Christmas dinner table are certain to be admired. The hanging angels are minutely detailed and the effect is pleasing and quite therapeutic! A classic decoration that can be brought out year after year, as well as making an ideal gift for all sorts of people.
