Magic Lantern Animation



The magic lantern was first discribed in the west in 1671 by the Jesuit Athanasius Kircher. An example of the magic lantern is shown to the right. People would gather to watch shows in halls and other meeting places. Here is a link to a youtube video with an example of them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgHdX0mhyy4
