Abstract: The invention relates to the field of optical toys and amusement devices. More specifically, the invention is directed to specific immiscible liquid and semi-liquid compositions of different specific gravities and viscosities and their placement in enclosed spaces or chambers of various toy or entertainment devices thereby creating a multi phase liquid system having enhanced or dynamic visual effect. The invention employs a novel immiscible liquid mixture of hydrophobic alkane hydrocarbons and polar organic esters. In operation, as the two phase liquid system is agitated or otherwise energy stressed, the liquid of the heavier specific gravity flows through the liquid of the lighter specific gravity in distinct spaced apart beads or droplets under the influence of gravity.

Abstract: Compositions and methods of making the same, the compositions including a binder, solvent for the binder, humectant, wax, an emulsifier for the wax, filler, a cross-linking agent for the binder, and various additives. The binder preferably is polyvinyl alcohol. The filler preferably includes glass microspheres, talc and flour. The wax preferably includes paraffin and microcrystalline waxes.
