The printed image is transferred to the magic paper, which, in turn, can be transferred to another sheet of paper or any surface. The first few pages of this book contain directions and suggestions for use, and the remaining leaves contain elements of cartoons and images. For example, there is a leaf of hairstyles, another of hats, another of mouths, etc. These can be combined to create a wide variety of images.
