A magic lantern slipping slide showing an exploding pie, made by an unknown artist in 1870.

The slide shows a man carrying a pie that has exploded to reveal its contents - a cat and a dog. A slipping slide consists of two pieces of glass - both painted with different stages of a movement. Black patches painted on the movable, or 'slipping', slide alternately cover and uncover the stages of movement. The first slide in the pair shows the man carrying the pie before it exploded.
