Between 1992 and 1995 Magic Eye books sold over 25 million copies world-wide. The books were released in 26 languages and appeared on the New York Times Best Seller list for over three years, creating a huge base of trained viewers and fans. In this period, Magic Eye collaborated with some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry, including Disney, Warner Brothers, Lucasfilm, Marvel Comics, and King Features Syndicate.</p> <p><strong>IN 1994,</strong> the Magic Eye comic strip, which now appears in over 200 newspapers, became one of the fastest start-ups in the history of the Universal Press Syndicate. Currently, millions of people view Magic Eye images in their local newspaper every weekend. Of the many companies that attempted to cash in on the new craze, only Magic Eye Inc. remains as a full-time business whose central focus is custom stereogram images.</p> <hr> <blockquote> <p><strong>MAGIC EYE INC.</strong> was formed in 1996 by the creative staff of N.E. Thing Enterprises to carry forward the business begun by N.E. Thing Enterprises in 1990. </p> <p>Magic Eye Inc. provides a complete graphics solution from concept to pre-press, with a specialty in every aspect of 3D graphics. Below you will find high-lights of the <em>N. E. Thing Enterprise years</em> going back in time.</p> </blockquote> <p><font color="#FF0000" size="5"><strong>1996</strong></font></p> <ul> <li>Magic Eye Inc. formed</li> </ul> <h3><font color="#FF0000" size="5"><strong>1995</strong></font></h3> <ul> <li>Das Magische Auge (German version) sells more copies in Germany than any book since "Mein Kampf" </li> <li>First animated stereograms by N.E.
