History Of Magic

The history starts at the very beginning where things like thunder, lightning and rain was thought to be the magical powers of the Gods.The first known recorded Magic Trick was the famous cup and ball trick preformed to the Pharaoh in ancient Egypt. Later Magic Tricks were used by priests claming to have great powers given to them by the Gods. This would gain them lots of respect and how important they were. Magic would continue to be used in this way until the coming of Christianity where magic was shown as a form of witchcraft instead of a way of entertainment. People seen or thought to be practicing magic was to be hanged or burnt, this time is known as the dark age of magic. Reginald Scot put out a book which revealing the magic used by witches and says that they are all just tricks used to fool other people little did he know that James VI King of Scotland was fascinated with witchcraft magic and thought that his book was all a bunch of lies and would soon order his book to be burned. But Reginald Scots book made an impression and slowly Magic was once again look at as a form of entertainment again. Magic was very successful and soon with the help of Robert Houdin moved to the stage for all to see. The art of magic could now grow and with now famous rising magicians such as Thomas Nelson Downs, Herman the Great, Howard Thurston, and Erich Weiss known more as Harry Houdini there was no one stopping it.

Magic has evolved into what it is today with a new way popular way of preforming, that of on television.

Disappearing Tricks revisits the golden age of theatrical magic and silent film to reveal how professional magicians shaped the early history of cinema. Where others have called upon magic as merely an evocative metaphor for the wonders of cinema, Matthew Solomon focuses on the work of the professional illusionists who actually made magic with moving pictures between 1895 and 1929. The first to reveal fully how powerfully magic impacted the development of cinema, the book combines film and theater history to uncover new evidence of the exchanges between magic and filmmaking in the United States and France during the silent period. Chapters detailing the stage and screen work of Harry Houdini and Georges Méliès show how each transformed theatrical magic to create innovative cinematic effects and thrilling new exploits for twentieth-century mass audiences. The book also considers the previously overlooked roles of anti-spiritualism and presentational performance in silent film. Highlighting early cinema’s relationship to the performing body, visual deception, storytelling, and the occult, Solomon treats cinema and stage magic as overlapping practices that together revise our understanding of the origins of motion pictures and cinematic spectacle.
