    Dim shp1 As Shape
    Dim shp2 As Shape
    Dim interEffect As Effect

Set shp1 = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes.AddShape _
    (Type:=msoShape32pointStar, Left:=100, _
    Top:=100, Width:=200, Height:=200)
Set shp2 = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes.AddShape _
    (Type:=msoShapeBevel, Left:=400, _
    Top:=200, Width:=150, Height:=100)

With ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TimeLine.InteractiveSequences.Add(1)
    Set interEffect = .AddEffect(shp2, msoAnimEffectBlinds, _
        trigger:=msoAnimTriggerOnShapeClick)
    interEffect.Shape = shp1
End With
