Eureka.

Now that I see what it is, I have one of those on my desk.

Google Dragon Illusion, there is a pdf you can print in blue green or red. Cut it out, fold it, tape it. Takes about 30 minutes to do.... As I recall... Mine has got to be 6 years old or so, so it's been a while. Interestingly, Kids younger than about 7-8 just can't get it. They can't seem to do the two things you have to do at once in order for the illusion to work in person. You have to cover one eye, while you move but keep your eye on the dragon... OK, three things you have to do. But the kids that get it, love it. It shuts them the Fuck up for the 5 minutes I need to get my customer's attention while I try to sell my snake oil. Love that dragon.
