Line 1:
{{
Nick Halloway was a fairly ordinary stock analyst until he fell asleep in the building of Magnascopic Laboratories, a company for which he represented shareholders. The building is seemingly destroyed, but people wonder why there's no debris. It turns out that due to a [[Freak Lab Accident]], the entire building and everything inside -- including Nick -- has been turned invisible.
Line 6:
Originally a 1987 [[Science Fiction]] novel by H. F. Saint, it was adapted to a 1992 movie starring [[Chevy Chase]] and Daryl Hannah. The book analyzed what effects invisibility would have on an average person who kept his morality, and the movie tried to do the same. The book was a small success; the movie was considerably less well-received.

* [[Visible Invisibility]]: Switches between types 1 and 5, though mirrors and camera footage always work as type 5. Additionally, in one scene where Nick is invisible on screen he gets rained on, and we see the shimmery outline of raindrops on him.
