I think that this site is very straight forward and to the point. I think that it explains the history and the background of a variety of optical toys. My favorite optical toy would have to be the phenakistoscope. This optical toy works by using a variety of pictures in a movement sequence that is on one slide. The other slide contains a plank disk with slots in it. When both disks spin together at the same time and viewed in a mirror it creates the illusion of a moving picture. I think that this could use a little more of an exciting layout to draw the viewers attention but other than that it was a pretty interesting site.
