Hand Shadows
It is very difficult to explain how these shadows should be made, but you must bear in mind the fact that it is necessary to stand between the lamp and the wall, and extend your arms so that the shadow of your body does not interfere with the picture shadows you intend to make with your hands. The illustrations given will show you how to make two very good shadow pictures, but the fun of the game is for several people to make up pictures of their own, and see who can succeed in making the best. The history of magic starts with the magi in the Middle East being known as wise men. Then there was a period when the practice of magic was seen as negative. In 1584, Reginald Scott’s book The Discoveries of Witchcraft, presented a different picture of magic. He believed that people who claimed to be able to do magic did not have supernatural powers, but were using illusions.
