Secret Passageway Switch

How much fun is this secret passageway switch? You can use it to activate a secret passageway (or turn on a lamp). When placed in a bookshelf, this electrical switch uses your favorite hard-bound book, without damaging it, to conceal its true function. It totally made me chuckle. It’s an idea by Ben Light who is also the force behind this Mobile that’s hanging above my desk.
