haha. well that was nice of you to wreck it so I'll explain.

Magic Eye books are the ones where when you flip through the pages, each page is blurry and you cannot make out what the picture is. The method to solving this mystery is to stare at the page up close to your face for about ten seconds all the while focusing on the center of the page, then you slowly start moving the book farther and farther away from your face until an image appears sort of like a 3D image. They were popular in the 90’s when I was in elementary school.
