Following the demo at the Practical Evening tonight - you can find the Magic Lantern software at http://www.magiclantern.fm and there is a Wikipedia article abou it.
As I mentioned, it is only available for certain models of Canon DSLRs (with specific firmware - usually the latest version). The list of supported camera is: 5D2, 5D3, 6D, 7D, 50D, 60D, 500D/T1i, 550D/T2i, 600D/T3i, 650D/T4i, 700D/T5i, 1100D/T3, EOS M and "in progress" the 70D.
