The Santa Magic Key Book is a children's book that tells the story of how Santa Claus delivers presents to children who do not have a chimney at their home. It is a common belief that Santa enters houses through the chimney to deliver gifts on Christmas Eve. However, many homes nowadays do not have chimneys, leaving children wondering how Santa will be able to visit their houses. The Santa Magic Key Book provides a solution to this problem by introducing the concept of a magic key. The book explains that Santa uses this special key to unlock the front door of houses without a chimney and deliver gifts to the children inside. By reading the Santa Magic Key Book, children can be reassured that Santa will be able to find a way to their house, regardless of whether or not they have a chimney.

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.
By reading the Santa Magic Key Book, children can be reassured that Santa will be able to find a way to their house, regardless of whether or not they have a chimney. It creates a sense of wonder and excitement for children during the Christmas season, as they imagine Santa using the magic key to enter their home. Overall, the Santa Magic Key Book brings a touch of magic and imagination to the holiday season for children who may have worried about how Santa Claus would visit their house without a chimney.
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.”
