A Jacob's ladder is a folk toy consisting of blocks of wood held together by strings or ribbons . When the ladder is held at one end, blocks appear to cascade down the strings/ribbon. However, this effect is a visual illusion which is the result of one block after another flipping over. It is called a "tablita magical" (magic tablet) in Spanish . Jacob's ladders are still handcrafted by indigenous craftsmen throughout Mexico. It is a form of flexagon . The earliest known reference for Jacob's Ladder is a 1889 Scientific American article. Despite urban myths prevalent on the internet, there is no known documentation dating it to King Tut's tomb or ancient Egypt, or to the Pilgrims. It has been theorized that its origin is from a Chinese falling-block toy, called "Chinese blocks". The toy is called Jacob's Ladder because its seemingly endless tumbling of blocks is said to resemble a dream of angels continuously ascending and descending a ladder to heaven , as dreamed by the biblical patriarch Jacob (Genesis 28:12). Most of us know it as a fun toy we grew up with. Introduce your kids and or your grandchildren on what it is like to entertain yourself, with out sitting in front of a screen. See the movie below that shows a magic trick that can be done with this toy. Let their imagination take it form there.
