Hypnotic Spiral Illusion Kit: illusion and rotation at your fingertips
An optical illusion game
This model to assemble combines two printed black and white discs which, once motorised, create impressive illusion effects. The spirals seem to wind in or out depending on the speed and direction of rotation. Driven by a discreet electric motor, this build is ideal for illustrating the basics of visual kinetics while amazing the senses.
Visual illusions: an original, educational gift idea
Perfect for young science or design enthusiasts, this DIY game stimulates observation, logic and fine motor skills. Give it for a birthday or a discovery workshop. Worried about complexity? No problem: the pieces are pre-formed and the assembly needs no special tools. A pleasure to build, then to contemplate.

Physics you can see on the table
Physics experiment kits turn laws that usually live in textbooks into something you can build and watch: a vortex spinning in water, an object floating on sound waves, planets orbiting a wooden sun. Each kit is a demonstration first and a lesson second, which is exactly the right order for a curious mind. Perfect for a rainy afternoon at home or a science club session. 👉 Back to physics experiment kitsCustomers who viewed this physics kit also looked at

Tom Harris –
The kit was quite intriguing, but the delivery did take longer than anticipated. The postal delay was a bit of a letdown, although the kit itself was decent. It did keep us entertained for a short while.
Dave Wilson –
My son was chuffed to bits with this kit! Watching his face light up as he saw the spirals come to life was priceless. He even took it to school to show his friends and the teacher was impressed. It’s brilliant how such a simple disc can provide endless fascination.
Margaret Green –
bought it for my grandson and his smile was everything! He loves it and spends hours playing with the spirals. a lovely present indeed.
Emma Clarke –
This is such a clever little kit! It’s amazing to see how the spirals shift and move—it really messes with your head. It’s a simple yet deep exploration of perception, and even as an adult I found it thoroughly engaging.
Johnathan Blake –
Got this for my youngest, and she had fun putting it together and experiencing the hypnotic effect. It’s a fun little experiment. maybe not something she’d use every day, but definitely worth it for the knowledge and the giggles.
Sarah Barnes –
My nephew adored this kit! The way the spirals create an illusion of depth and movement is just fantastic. He got stuck into the science of it and loves showing it off to guests. Top quality gift!
Jake Patel –
as a repeat customer, I’m happy with this kit overall; it does just what it says on the tin. While it would have been better if it came with some more detailed instructions, it’s still a fab product for a bit of science fun.
Margaret Lees –
my grandson was over the moon with this kit. it’s a proper treat watching his eyes light up when he sees the spirals twirl. kept him entertained for hours.
Raj Patel –
had a crack at this hypnotic spiral illusion kit. piecing it together was straightforward enough, then the magic begins with a simple spin. a really intriguing blend of science and art, the illusion really does give you something to ponder. visually captivating and a bit of fun figuring out the physics behind it.
