I accomplished this on an aluminum MacBook Pro. I’m guessing it works on other MacBooks but I haven’t tested those yet. To make this even more satisfying, you can sweep your hands over the screen as if you’re directly controlling it. If you don’t have a MacBook, invite me to your next party because this is totally my new ice breaker. Makes you feel like David Blaine but…talented.

You can hold ⌘ + ⇧ and then press F3 to start revealing the desktop, then hit F3 again (all the while holding ⌘ + ⇧) so you can just “peek” at the desktop real quick.
Haha I actually pressed the ‘+’ button (don’t think that’s what you meant for me to do) and now my text/screen is super magnified. DON’T WORRY I CAN FIX THIS.
o_o
press – instead of +
Gonna nerd it up even further. Apple calls this Exposé (oui, avec un accent). By googlin’ you can find out all the other magic things Exposé can do.
Nerd out.
