Invisible ink

Invisible ink is a special kind of liquid that contains chemicals that can make words, symbols, or pictures appear on paper. The ink is usually clear or colorless so it's not visible when you write it out. To make the ink visible, you need to use a special agent like heat or a chemical reaction. For example, you can use heat on a piece of paper with invisible ink written on it and the words will appear as if by magic!
