I can't think of a good page name -- Tarquin Rough list to be moved: the flick book that sort of spinning disc with string... there's one similar to the zoetrope, but it's a disc with slots that's held vertically in front of a mirror and spun. One looks through the slots to the reflection beyond. Note: American Zoetrope is Francis Ford Coppola's movie production company. This article is from Wikipedia.
