Abstract
Abstract A toy in the form of a novelty mirror has three horizontally aligned and equally spaced holes in the upper portion with the farthest spaced holes being spaced approximately the distance between the eyes of one of the users. The mirror may be hand held and reflective on both sides so that when held between two opposed viewers with the holes properly aligned with the eyes of the viewers, one viewer's face appears in the mirror with the eyes of the opposite viewer. This transposition of eye features may occur simultaneously for both viewers.
