MLK Metal Bookmark

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.

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.

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.
