This set of production lanterns folds flat and stacks together in such a way that each one has a burning taper or candle inside it. This allows them to be lifted out of a production box, one at a time, each with a glowing light inside. We have four lanterns, but based on the details of manufacture it is clear that there should be five in a set. If a magician produces collapsible lanterns from a small production box, the effect would not be very impressive. The fact that each lantern is lit makes it considerably more impressive.
