Magic Cube - The magic cube is an interactive fidget box that can transform into over 70 shapes. It provides mind-challenging fun while stimulating the senses. Let your creative side run wild as there are unlimited shape-shifting possibilities! It is also a good fidget as it soothes stress and nerves with its therapeutic effect.

Mozi Flow Ring - The Mozi Flow Ring is like a slinky for your arm! Watch as it spins continuously and effortlessly from one arm to another in a rhythm you create. Share your groove by simply touching fingers and passing it to a friend. Watching it glide into a kaleidoscopic shape is just as mesmerizing and addicting as it is to use. 

Snake Cube - The snake cube is a brain teaser for both kids and adults who love a good challenge. It helps develop spatial skills, problem-solving skills, and patience as you twist the snake back into its original cube shape. It is available in three different colors.

There are also additional items available for purchase, including exclusive Museum of Illusions branded merchandise and gift cards to give the gift of an experience!

Currently, the museum has a one-of-a-kind, teacher-created holiday scavenger hunt that kids can participate in. Kids can choose between two age-based scavenger hunt options with varying difficulties. Younger kids will search and find festive decals throughout the immersive, mind-bending rooms, while older explorers will decipher various riddles to find their way through the museum to the decals. Both options end with a special treat and encourage kids to have fun while learning! There is no age limit but the museum recommends that the scavenger hunt will appeal to children up to 12 years of age. Kids can participate in the scavenger hunt through December 31, 2022.
