In fact, instead of only looking at the magic lantern as a machine projecting an image, I should also be paying attention to the images themselves how they were made, what they were about, the contexts in which images were shown, and the kinds of images and then stories that were presented. Magic lanterns, the equivalent of today s slide projectors, used fire instead of electric light to illuminate slides made of large pieces of glass that were painted with scenes from stories or printed with photographic images.
The compound also air dries, eliminating the need for baking or firing in a kiln. This makes it a convenient choice for those who want to create quick and easy projects. The black color of Raven Black Model Magic opens up endless creative possibilities.
Official Project Opening with Magic Lantern Show: Scientific Entertainment anno 1900
This evening will be a time travel back to the tradition of the spectacular magic lantern shows of the nineteenth century. The experienced lanternists Gwen Sebus (Lux Magica, editor of The Magic Lantern) and Elisabeth Waagmeester (Christiaan Huygens Theater) will give an entertaining lesson in astronomy, physics, biology and ethnography using original magic lanterns and slides of that time. With a pinch of contemporary humor, the lanternists will show how close science and magic, education and entertainment were and are linked.
The presentations will be partially in English and partially in Dutch.
Elisabeth Waagmeester started at age ten as assistant of her father Willem Albert Wagenaar. Together, they traveled the entire Netherlands until they opened their own theater in 1994 in Zeist – the Christiaan Huygens Theater. At age seventeen, Elisabeth Waagmeester started giving shows herself. “With our team, we staged entire operas, but we also gave smaller shows that only require two persons: one lanternist and one assistant”, recalls Elisabeth Waagmeester. Her youngest son now started as her assistant, the family tradition is thus continued.
Gwen Sebus is interested in magic lantern shows and lantern slides ever since she saw her first magic lantern show at the age of 4, performed with a magic lantern that her great grandfather had bought. For 28 years, she collects magic lantern slides and researches their origin. She gives magic lantern shows at museums, schools, universities, lantern conventions and private parties with her company “Lux Magica”. She is an active member of the Magic Lantern Society and co-editor of The Magic Lantern, the society’s quarterly magazine. In her daily life, she is a lawyer.

The real heyday of the magic lantern shows, says Marsh, began in the 1780s with Etienne Gaspard Robertson’s Phantasmagoria shows. “They were absolutely extraordinary,” says Marsh. “They had multiple lanterns, some were hand-held, and they would be throwing images of corpses on the walls.”

Reviews for "Craft your imagination with Raven black model magic"
1. Emily - 1/5 stars - I was really disappointed with the Raven black model magic. First of all, the color was not as dark as it appeared on the packaging. It turned out more like a dull gray. The texture was also very sticky and difficult to work with. It didn't hold its shape well, and when it dried, it became brittle and began to crack. Overall, I would not recommend this product for anyone looking to create detailed or long-lasting sculptures.
2. Michael - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for the Raven black model magic, but it fell short of my expectations. While the black color was intense, the material itself was too soft and squishy. It was difficult to sculpt anything precise or intricate as it would just collapse in on itself. Additionally, once it dried, it didn't hold its shape very well and had a tendency to crumble. I think this product could benefit from a firmer texture and better consistency.
3. Jessica - 2/5 stars - As an artist, I am always on the lookout for new materials to experiment with. However, the Raven black model magic did not impress me. The color was OK, but the texture was too mushy and didn't have enough elasticity. It was challenging to sculpt anything detailed or complex, and the drying time was slow. The end result was also disappointing as the black color faded significantly. I would recommend trying other brands instead for better quality and more satisfying results.
