DESCRIPTION:
Red Raven Magic Mirror Records were a children's toy of the 1950s. They used a series of specially made vinyl 78 RPM records with a very large label which reflected off an angled spinning mirror which resembled a carousel which was placed over the spindle of the player, giving the illusion of motion.
This variation of a praxinoscope (a zoetrope successor) was developed by Morgan Development Laboratories from the mid-1950s to the early 1960s.
They released only 16 movie records in total.
