I think that 'variety' and 'magic' are probably the best description of the toys Tim has brought along this time!
First, a transparent glass block that has had two different card values etched inside using a system of three lasers. Depending on your viewpoint, you will either see the Queen of Clubs or the Ace of Hearts.
Staying with the playing card theme, Tim shows the Logic Specs Case (we used to sell these on the Grand Illusions web site). These are held closed by internal magnets. When you open them, you can keep going until they have turned inside out. This allows there to be one set of text visible initially, and after you have opened them all the way, different text will be revealed.
A football that opens up to show different football pictures - a fiddle toy for your desk!
A 'bear transformation' - from koala to panda. This toy is called Pair Pals!
A pen that folds up into a neat little rocket.
A paper character made from circles of paper, created by a Japanese designer.
A pen that delivers... sushi!
a metal sphere that spins on the desk. There is a spiral design on the outside, which seems to be going up or down, depending which way it is spinning.
A 'Fish Eye Lens' - this little fish opens up to become a small magnifying lens.
Toys can often be combined with sweets - in this case a yo yo combined with a lollipop!
Finally, a Mr Timm's Toyshop tin. Tim bought a lot of these when they first came out, and gave them to his friends. Now he just keeps a springy snake inside, to make the unsuspecting person jump!
