"See images from magic lanterns, showing an eerie array of apparitions from ghouls to drumming skeletons. See in 'Witch' mirrors that multiply your reflection, enter a camera obscura and marvel at the illusion of the world turned upside down, and come and play in the famous 'Ames Room' where perceptions are distorted creating an astonishing shrinking and enlarging illusion. Be tricked by the many visual puzzles and wonder at the devices that captured movement hundreds of years before the invention of film. "
