Jamie Drouin asked about my "Magic Fingers".  The basic idea is to put your
pinky fingers (pointing up, not at or into your eyes) infront of your eyes.
Put them in a way that blocks a small portion of your eyes next to your
nose.  Now that the left side of your Right eye is covered, and the right
side of your Left eye is covered if you view an image the brighter and
hotter(red=hot, blue=cold) the part of the image the more it will seem to
jump toward you, and the colder-darker it is, the more it will seem to go
away from you.

That is all there is to it.  It takes a bit to get used to it, but it is
pretty neat when you get it.  It is similar to using "Cromadepth" glasses,
but it is not blury like the glasses often seem to be.  Ken's viewers make
it easier than using your fingers.
