Sandler, I know eactly what you mean!  Under the right circumstances prints
in a View Magic (or a regular stereoscope) can be more effective than
Realist slides in impressing and hooking newbies.  Same is true for other
lower forms of 3d presentation like anaglyphs and lenticulars.  Even VM
personal reels can have a much greater impact.

Note, I said "under the proper circumstances".  To show View Magic prints
you must have a table to put the album, chairs to sit and ample (office-
like) illumination.  Under different circumstances, like the darker room
for the after-church social, handing a bright self-illuminated red button
viewer is better in bringing the "wow!" out.  Of course, this is the proper
place to show only one or two slides, not your 5000.

Sin?  No... The goal justifies the means...
