Shadow Kaleidoscope

Shadow Kaleidoscope consists of two small front-surfaced mirrors hinged together. A kaleidoscope is an image multiplier. The number of images it makes depends on the number of mirrors and on the angle at which the mirrors meet. This kaleidoscope has only two mirrors, but many possible angles. A red dot painted on the table lets visitors see how many images they can create at different angles. Multiple shadow images can also be created with the visitor's hands by holding them above the mirrors.
