I remember the one my parents ordered from an ad in a comic book for me. They took forever to arrive. When they arrived I was excited as Ralphie from A Christmas Story when his decoder pin arrived. I ran inside, opened them up, put them on and nothing. At least the chattering teeth I got worked LOL. Also, thanks for opening the original packaging to share them with us.
Remember all of the hokey stuff that was advertised in the back of magazines and comic books! Floating sea monkeys, ant farm, Dick Tracy watch, instant hair-grow, a kit they would send you to fill out and you would instantly be able to perform wedding ceremonies, calorie counters, neck massagers...... Oh! And to "Sell Grit"! Maybe could you do a video for us of that stuff
I so desperately wanted a pair, but I just knew if I ordered a pair my moms seemingly XRay vision would see right through the real reason I wanted them. Sooool, like mane other boys my age I was relinquished to the Sears Catalog and ladies under britches sections. 😊
Fun fact - the inventor of these glasses also gave us the Amazing Live Sea Monkeys, which were equally disappointing when compared with the advertisements
I've been trying to find the plastic ones, but they're hard to find. If they were x-ray vision, I'm sure all you would see is bones and organs while looking at someone. Lol
The gimmick actually works. But it's not magic. As you walk or stand, you can look at anyone without being caught through the holes in the fake glasses. As you look at the person, you pretend to x-ray them, imagining what they look like underneath the clothes. Some people wear sunglasses with reflective mirror type glass or dark glasses, so you can't see their eyes when they look at you.

I'm 24 years and I have heard of X-ray glasses and always wanted to know how they work so thank you for this video.

I remember being excited getting these for all the the same reasons as my buddies. Needless to say, ultimately we were extremely disappointed!🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've always wondered what things actually look like through these things. Obviously not real x ray, but still.
That’s cool you got a pair that was never opened!

What do you mean? They don't work?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Right now there is a way you can get clothes to x-ray glasses as close as possible
