If you came to our Magic of Music Hall Scene in Time weekender last October, you will have been captivated by the wonderful magic lantern show given by The Magic Lantern Society and the spectacularly colourful selection of slides they brought along for their stall. We are very lucky to be able to offer the chance to listen to talk on the history of the magic lantern and Victorian humour from an expert, followed by a short Q&A and a workshop to make your very own slide on acetate.
Aileen Butler is a magic lanternist and has been a member of the Society for 20 years. She regularly entertains audiences throughout the UK using the lantern she inherited from her grandfather.
