Can anyone provide any history of the Instant Painting Frame Effect?
I'm interested in finding out who first came up with the effect and when.
A black-and-white line drawing is seen in a wooden frame, and as the drawing is pulled upwards out of the frame, the picture visibly becomes brightly colored, as seen in the two examples of the attached jpeg.
