The magic lantern or Laterna Magica is an early type of image projector developed in the 17th century.
The magic lantern has a concave mirror in front of a light source that gathers light and projects it through a slide with an image scanned onto it. The light rays cross an aperture (which is an opening at the front of the apparatus), and hit a lens. The lens throws an enlarged picture of the original image from the slide onto a screen. Main light sources used during the time it was invented in the late 16th century were candles or oil lamps. These light sources were quite inefficient and produced weak projections. The invention of the Argand lamp in the 1790s helped to make the projected images brighter. The invention of the limelight in the 1820s made it even brighter, and following that the inventions of the electric arc lamp in the 1860s, and then incandescent electric lamps all further improved the projected image of the magic lantern. It was also an important invention for the motion picture film and 45mm projector because of its ability to screen moving images. To achieve this, mechanical slides were used to make the images move. This was done using two glass slides, one with the part of the picture that would remain stationary and one with the part of the picture that would move on a disc. The glass slides were placed one on top of the other in an orderly fashion and a hand-operated pulley wheel was used to turn the movable disc. The magic lantern also led directly to Eadweard Muybridge's invention of the zoopraxiscope, which was another forerunner for moving pictures.

Somebody told me,
That you walked
All the way here,
Just to find me,
But now youre here,
Weve got nothing to say.
Fear and insecurity,
Stole away our dreams
But your face sings songs id love to hear
But I dont know what it means
Should I take your hand and pick you up
And walk off in the sun?
Or we sit in silence and drink our tea,
Then turn our backs to run?
Well never know
Well never try
Were growing old and soon well die.
Cos somebody told me
That you smile
All through the day time
But you cry at night
When youre alone
Cos youve got no one to hold.
Life and love can come and go
Or leave us in the cold
But well freeze to death before we see
What cant be bought and sold
Should we sing these songs of innocence
Or just close our eyes and hope?
That a better world is possible
If we rise above the smoke?
Well never know
Well never try
Were growing old and soon well die.
Somebody told me,
That they saw,
You from afar
And that youd grown old
And when you died
That thered be no one to cry
We move so fast we can hardly see
Where we want to go
But we float like leaves and an autumn breeze
We ebb and then we flow
Should we stamp our feet and raise our fists
And fight against the tide?
Or we bow our heads and slowly drowned
Because we never tried?
Well never know
Well never try
Were growing old and soon well die.

Somebody told me,
That you walked
All the way here,
Just to find me,
But now youre here,
When you look inside
My magic lantern
All the world is yet unseen
Try to gaze into
The yellow glowing
To get a reflection of me
In a land of make believe and magic
You can be just anything you feel
You think that what you're in is a dream
But know that the lantern is viewing
View the magic lantern
Take a trip around the world
View the magic lantern
There's a thousand
Mysteries unfurled
And i know one of them
I remember your face
Can't remember the place
Here on our own
Living alone
You can dream that
You're a man of power
Ready to be happy with your gold
Without love your mind is going sour
Money's no good when you're old
View the magic lantern
You can have the sky above
Yeah, the magic lantern
You'll buy everything but love
Somebody told me,
That you walked
All the way here,
Just to find me,
But now youre here,
Weve got nothing to say.
