Ask and ye shall receive.

Check out http://puzzlemart.puzzles.com/Index.asp for a store with lots
of quality puzzles, cheap! I give especial props to the 4-T, 4-piece
jigsaw + 4-piece pyramid puzzles (all of 'em tricky indeed!) These are
made by Binary Arts, their site here: http://www.binaryarts.com/buy/ If
you're also looking for optical illusions, their "Spin Science" spinning
discs (2 slightly different models) are absolutely certain to make people
shout "Whoah!!!"

And world's easiest OI to do, just take a piece of paper and write down:

THE CAT
SAT ON THE
THE MAT.

and ask someone "What's this say?" I don't know why it works, but
everyone misses it.

"Scalia finished his memo by writing 'If a Supreme Court justice
can be bought so cheaply, this country is in deeper trouble than I
thought.'
In a related story, this country is in deeper trouble than Scalia
thought."
