This was an early animation device which used for the persistence of vision principle which was then used to create an overall illusion of motion. The phenakistoscope consisted of two discs which were mounted onto the same axis. With the first disc this has a slot around the edge, and the second disc actually contains drawings of a successive action which is drawn around the disc within concentric circles. Once the phenakistoscope actually begins to spin together within the same direction, the mirror shows the first disc's slots, then the pictures within the second disc will begin to appear to move. Belgium physicist Joseph Plateau and his sons actually introduced the 'Phenakistoscope' in 1832.
There was actually two different types of illusions which two different people created the phenakistoscope was created within 1832 by Plateau which they used mirrors to be able to create an illusion of movement by earlier the Micahel Faraday's Wheel which was created, this consisted of two discs which spun in opposite directions, this again created the illusion of movement.
