Fore-Edge Painting
This guy draw incredible paintings on the edge of books.

A fore-edge painting is where the page block is fanned and an image applied to the stepped surface. If the page edges are themselves gilded or marbled, this results in the image disappearing when the book is relaxed. When refanned, the painting magically re-appears.

I don’t really understand how he did it, see for yourself. Watch Fore-edge Painting
