The Etch a Sketch is one
of the best loved classic
toys from the 60s and
beyond and has recently
enjoyed a revival,
featuring in the popular
Toy Story 3 film. Yes of
course we all remember
it's almost impossible to

is half the fun! With
practice, all sorts of
designs are possible (and
great masterpieces have
been achieved!). The
horizontal and vertical
knobs direct a continuous
black line, allowing
simple doodles and, with
practice and patience,
complex stylised
Etch-a-Sketch designs to

If you've ever been in
some one else's bathroom
and suddenly found
yourself concerned about
the recent history of the
towel or soap you are
about to use, then you
are more likely to
appreciate this less than
subtle approach. The Soap
and Towel are sold
separately but the idea
is the same. They both
have areas clearly marked

The large bath towel is
made of 100% cotton and
the soap is lightly

what do you do with the

This collection of
mysterious mathematical
devices is our own
creation and something
we've sold successfully
for years, but the
mathematical anomalies
exploited are still
relatively unknown and
remain always intriguing.
We've recently repackaged
(beautifully, even if we
do say so ourselves) and
added a clever new set of
dice to the original
components - all of which
deserve further
explanation: Addition
Dice:- Five special dice
showing three digit
numbers on each face are
thrown to choose five
random numbers. Adding
these numbers together
would normally take a few
minutes or require the
help of a calculator,
but a clever technique
allows the user to
perform the maths in
seconds. Magic
Calculator:- The four
square sticks are laid
side by side to form rows
of four digit numbers. As
with the Addition Dice
above, the sum of any
combination of these
figures can be calculated
in seconds using a secret
technique. Magic Number
Cards / Think of a Number
Cards:- Two sets of
special cards that use
different mathematical
anomalies, allowing the
user to determine numbers
that have been secretly
chosen by a second
person.
