A method and apparatus for displaying motion pictures. In one embodiment, a cylindrical body with vertical facets and then a motion picture image affixed to each facet (creating a series). In this embodiment, the images are substantially flat against a glossy background, and there is a reflected light source cast upon them. When the cylindrical body is rotated about its longitudinal axis, to the viewer, a reflection of the images "hovers" just above the underlying images, and the spinning (or "flipping") of the facets produces a "shutter-like" effect, such that each reflected image is replaced by an adjacent one of the series of motion-picture images (to produce a magical animated effect).
