Psychedelic
Magic

The sports world is in an uproar
over the latest new sport — late
last week it made its appearance
at the University — our reliable
sources report —

"Call it a bit of a contact
strip. Call it a pressure sensitive
polymer. Or just call it a
pacifier. What it is is a thin
round layer of magic captured
in a white square of plastic.
Push it with your pinkie; Look!
it changes patterns like crazy in
the wildest psychedelic fashion.
You rub the back to change
colors and shapes but there's
another bonus! You change the
angle of view and see even more
colors and shapes than before.
The magic toy is made in
Philadelphia by Golly, and it's
made the New York Times."

Touch Me

"The one ounce soother is
3¼ inch square plastic-scaled
plaque The iridescent colored,
nontoxic fluids locked inside
appear to change hue and move
when the plaque is handled, due
to the heat of the hand and
pressure exerted."
