ABSTRACT:
A kaleidoscope (100) for producing images reflecting objects (152, 164), is described. The kaleidoscope preferably has three panels (10, 20 and 30) forming the kaleidoscope with a front viewing opening (104) and a rear object opening (106). The sides (16 and 18) of the first panel preferably converge at a 21.0.degree. angle. The sides (26 and 28) of the second panel preferably converge at a 32.0.degree. angle. The sides of the third panel preferably converge at a 37.75.degree. angle. By varying the orientation of the rear edges (14, 24 and 34) of the panels, the first object image (150) is varied. By varying the orientation of the front edges (12, 22 and 32) of the panels, the secondary image (154) is varied.
