Extravagant Simplicity

Glitter is extravagantly simple.
What is glitter? Well, it's just tiny pieces of shiny plastic material which you can buy in assorted colors at an art supply store.
Glitter is simple, but glitter is also magical in its simplicity.
When you throw glitter into the air, it's as if real life just had the special effects edited in. There's a cloud of shimmering air all around and as they float and fall through the air, pieces of glitter randomly shine and then disappear again.
Glitter is magical.
One second it's undetectable and then a moment later the world is sparkling!
Depending on the simple concepts of angling and reflection, glitter can appear either invisible or obviously present. Now, aside from Harry Potter's invisibility cloak, how many things can do that?
Glitter is simple to the point of complexity-- it's the epitome of extravagant simplicity.
