Shining through the darkness of this magical bookmark is none other than civil rights activists Martin Luther King Jr. The optical illusion becomes most apparent when you hold the bookmark over a blank page or better still, in front of a light, revealing a portrait Dr. King. From his famous words, we are reminded that, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that."

The thin design and shape of this metal bookmark makes for a pleasant placeholder. Engraved below MLK's portrait is a facsimile of his signature.

Alexander ★★★★★

The lighting trick is genuinely clever, and the metal feels sturdy and heavy enough to stay put in my book. I keep it on my nightstand just to watch the image shift when the lamp hits it.

Harper I. ★★★★★

The optical illusion really works—hold it over a blank page and King's silhouette glows through like magic. It's surprisingly sturdy for a bookmark, and the metal finish has a nice weight that keeps my page flat. Exactly what I wanted for my reading nook.

Kevin Y. ★★★★★

Lighting it up from behind completely transforms it — the silhouette of Dr. King appears out of nowhere, and it’s genuinely mesmerizing. I’ve used it as a reading marker every night since it arrived, and the effect never gets old.
