Overview

The Nervous Magic Lantern is a projection device I came up with in the year 2000. With assistance from wife Flo (Florence) we have been performing with it ever since. It pushed aside The Nervous System first presented publicly in 1975. The Nervous System required two prints of a film shown slightly out of sync, advancing very slowly but in rapid alternation. Projections were at first more like activated slide-shows than movies, with things appearing both in motion and - to an extent - in depth.
