The thaumatrope was invented in the 1820s and it proved the phenomena of persistence of vision. The word "thaumatrope" has Greek roots. "Thauma" means magic in Greek and "trope" refers to something that turns. The thaumatrope is somewhat magical because it creates illusions dependent on persistence of vision.
