  • Patent number: 4259808
    Abstract: A Magnetic Optical Toy comprising a mirrored viewing chamber, various ferrous metal pieces lying randomly and freely within the mirrored viewing chamber, a movable magnet against and about the exterior surface of the mirrored chamber, and a viewing area into the mirrored chamber allowing the observation of the interior of the mirrored chamber with both eyes of the observer in order to perceive a three dimensional image.As the magnet is moved against and about the outside surface of the internally mirrored chamber various shapes and sizes of ferrous metal pieces are attracted and otherwise moved within the mirrored chamber and form a random design pattern which is reflected in the mirrored chamber resulting in a viewable three dimensional reflected design configuration. The design configuration changes as the magnet is manipulated by the observer.
