There is a certain magic that happens at night, when the world is bathed in darkness and the stars illuminate the sky. This magic is called "night magic." It is a time when the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and beauty reveals itself in unexpected ways. One aspect of night magic is the transformation of the natural world. The moon takes center stage, casting its ethereal glow over the landscape. Shadows dance and play, creating an enchanting atmosphere.

As if that weren t dangerous enough, when she filmed her fiery exit from Munchkinland, the makeup caused her to suffer third degree burns on her hands and second degree burns on her face. Margaret Hamilton, who played the Wicked Witch, was coated in green makeup that was copper-based, which was incredibly toxic; once her makeup was applied, she couldn t eat, and had to subsist on a liquid diet and drink from a straw.
Shadows dance and play, creating an enchanting atmosphere. Plants and animals that lay dormant during the day come alive, revealing their hidden charms. The night is a canvas for nature's creativity, painting a picture that captivates the imagination.
5 Things You Didn’t Know About…The Wizard of Oz
One of the most famous (and quotable–three lines from the film are on the American Film Institute’s list of the greatest movie quotes) movies of all time, The Wizard of Oz was released on this day in 1939. And while it was a box office failure whose production was filled with drama–four different directors worked on the project, as did over a dozen writers!–its airings on television during the 50s catapulted it into a realm of popularity that few films have ever topped. In honor of its release, let’s take a trip down the Yellow Brick Road and pick up some trivia.
- The shoot was an incredibly dangerous one for several of its leads. Buddy Ebsen, who went on to fame with The Beverly Hillbillies, was cast as the Tin Man originally, but after nine days of filming, his body suffered a severe allergic reaction to the aluminum powder makeup he wore and he wound up hospitalized in respiratory distress. Margaret Hamilton, who played the Wicked Witch, was coated in green makeup that was copper-based, which was incredibly toxic; once her makeup was applied, she couldn’t eat, and had to subsist on a liquid diet and drink from a straw. As if that weren’t dangerous enough, when she filmed her fiery exit from Munchkinland, the makeup caused her to suffer third degree burns on her hands and second degree burns on her face.
- Jack Haley, who replaced Buddy Ebsen, had a son, Jack Jr., a producer who married Liza Minelli in the 1970s. Yes, the Tin Man’s son married Dorothy’s daughter!
- The Horse of a Different Color got its changing hue with the help of Jell-O crystals, which were chosen by the ASPCA for being safe for the horses. Filming these scenes needed to be quick, because the horses kept trying to lick the Jell-O off.
- The Cowardly Lion costume was made of real lion pelt and weighed 100 pounds; his tail moved by a fishing line that was controlled by a stagehand sitting on the catwalk above the soundstage.
- Where did the word Oz come from? L. Frank Baum’s filing cabinets. The first was labeled A-N, and the second was O-Z and the rest…is history.

But night magic is not limited to the natural world. Human creations also take on a special allure under the cover of darkness. Buildings and monuments are softly illuminated, showcasing their architectural grandeur. Streets and alleyways become mysterious and inviting, encouraging exploration and adventure. The night brings a new perspective to familiar places, allowing for the discovery of hidden gems. Night magic also extends to the realm of human emotions and experiences. It is a time of intimacy and connection, when conversations flow freely and hearts open up. The quiet and stillness of the night create the perfect backdrop for reflection and introspection. Dreams and aspirations come to life, as the night allows for the exploration of endless possibilities. However, night magic is not without its darker side. It can be a time of mystery and uncertainty, where shadows can harbor secrets and fears. It is a reminder of the unknown and the unexplored, which can instill both a sense of wonder and trepidation. But even in the darkness, night magic holds a certain allure that beckons us to embrace it. In conclusion, night magic is a phenomenon that transcends the realm of the ordinary. It is a time when the world transforms, revealing its hidden beauty and captivating our senses. Whether it be the natural world, human creations, or the depths of our emotions, the night holds a certain magic that is both enchanting and mysterious. It is a reminder that there is still much to discover and explore in the world around us, if we only dare to embrace the darkness..
