Mastering magic tricks is a performing art. This form of art is designed to entertain people and create the illusion of what cant be possible happening in front of your eyes. The masters who create these illusions are called magicians.
Magic comes from the Latin word Magi. The Magi was a man who had the ability to predict the future by reading the stars. Possibly the best and most famous illusionists and was harry Houdini. He was an amazing magician and his magic tricks still amaze people today. He was also the greatest escapologists ever to live.
Magic tricks are successfully created with mis direction and sleight of hand. Sometimes mirrors or some other form of deception was used as well. Anything the magician could do to create a sense of wonder as he performs his seemingly impossible magic tricks.
However, magic tricks wouldn't happen without an audience who is willing to be tricked. These audiences go in knowing they are going to be deceived, yet they sit and watch the show in amazement, even though all they are watching is trickery. The act of magic tricks never fail to amaze audiences.
Houdini's main reason for success was because he earned the trust of his fans. He spent time debunking charlatans who claimed they had magical powers by showing how they performed their tricks but while also performing tricks of his own. Following suit today are magicians like Penn and Teller who perform the same stunts of magic and debunking.
During the twentieth century in the U. S., magic tricks were mostly thought of as a children's form of entertainment. This began to change however with the revival of Doug Henning. He began to bring back the old practices of magic tricks and began to amaze adult audiences once again on television and on stage.
In the twentieth century, many illusionists have emerged that are simply amazing. Performers like David Blaine perform Houdini style magic tricks like escapes and physical endurance displays for his fans. Most of these magicians we see on television perform their magic tricks in front of a live audience in order to gain the trust of their television audience.
Today's tricks are based on the old principals of magic tricks. The saying it's all done with mirrors was about magic tricks performed with mirrors. However, today magicians don't typically use mirrors anymore. They are very hard to set up as well as transport.
There are many types of magic tricks that can be done. Production tricks are where a magician produces something from nothing. Vanishing tricks are the opposite, where the magician makes something disappear. Transformation tricks are when the magician turns one object into another in front of your eyes. Restoration is where the magician first destroys an object then makes it whole again.
Teleportation tricks are when the magician moves an object from one place to another or when two objects change places. Escapology is when the magician is typically restrained and works his way to escape to safety. Levitation is simply where the magician appears to defy gravity and Penetration is when the magician is able to make one solid object move through another. Most magic tricks today that are successful are a mixture of forms, making an entire show for the audience. - 30290
