History of magic

Lennart Green
Dani Dahortiz
Besides the magic is not really well-known by people, I think it's a way of entertainment and people just have to be led by the magician and enjoy instead of thinking that someone is trying to lie them
He won that title in Paris 1973
He won the title of the world's best card magician two years ago!
They were very well known in their city and the citizen asked them lots of questions!
He was born in Sweden
The word 'magic' comes from 'magi', a word used by the magicians of Babylon
He won the title of the world champion close-up/card magician in 1991
It was a change from the witchcraft
The Catholic Church considered them devilish, mostly during Late Middle Ages & the Early modern period and they murdered magicians (almost 500000 people!!!)
The first magicians were from Rome, Greece or even China!
The wizard or magician was usually someone who healed and also knew things about the spirits
The practice of spells, predictions, astrology, playing with cards... all mixed together created, in the XX century the so called NEW ERA
One of the clues of magic is...
yes, the secrets!!!
The predictions by the Tarot were usual during the Early modern period
This way of thinking was considered a pseudoscience and people though that it led to the absolute knowledge of the Universe!
Missdirection
Types
The most important thing of a trick of magic is not the ability you have with the cards or whatever you use, it's the way you tell it and if it's capable to keep the people focused on it!
Mentalism & escapism
It's the technique of distracting the people for making the trick of magic
Micromagic or close-up magic
Mentalism is a kind of magic in which the magician uses his mind to guess what the other person thinks and play with his mind
It consists of the tricks of magic performed, usually with cards, for people in a small space like a table
Scene magic
Hands, what you are seeing, eye contact, or even the cards!
Escapism is the ability of escape from chains, a jail or even a pool full of water!
It is used in weddings, birthdays... It can be more spectacular than close-up magic, and you can use more equipement like ropes or bottles
Magic for children
Cocktail magic
It's a kind of scene magic focused on children. It can be considered as the 'easier one', but it isn't: it's the harder type of magic!
Big ilusions
It's a kind of close-up magic, used usually in cocktails or meetings. It is more specific because your missdirection must be focused in the things they are talking about
They are the ones used in theaters. A camera is usually used for seeing better the tricks. It can the most spectacular type of magic, as you can use whatever you want!
