magic lantern
A magic lantern is a device used to project images onto a screen or wall. Originated in the 17th century, it works by placing a transparent slide painted with an image in front of a light source, which is then focused through a lens. It was a predecessor to the modern slide projector and was used for entertainment, educational purposes, and even in church sermons.

Examples of magic lantern in a Sentence
