Apparently its called a “Phenakistoscope” and Make magazine did a whole piece on making them. I believe the link is as follows:

There are three pre-made ones to download and cut linked there.

FabCafe (a mix of coffee shop/cafe and maker space popping up around the globe) had a “Kinetic Illusion” workshop at their Taipei location several months ago to make very similar object. Really neat stuff.

Videos towards the end, after all the designing/making bits. I particularly like the yellow, feathery one.
