Many people come across all kinds of inexplicable things. Sometimes an object disappears before their eyes, sometimes something flies and the flight is controlled by another person. All modern tricks have an explanation, it is quite easy to find it on the Internet. But in ancient times, when people did not have the Internet, everything was unusual. In addition, many magicians performed such miracles that today it is difficult to find a logical explanation. Let's take a look at the history of magic.
The history of magic begins in the pre-Christian era. One of the first known magicians was Dedi from Egypt. According to legend, Dedi brought the headless bull to life by casting a magic spell. One of the oldest tricks in the history of magic is called Cups and Balls. This trick can be seen in Greece, India and China. Three cups and a ball are involved and the ball disappears, the cups cover it. This trick has become the most popular cheat today. Priests in Greek temples practiced magic on a more sophisticated level and claimed that it was the magic of the Gods. Another trick that became a popular classic was the Chinese tie rings. It consisted of solid metal rings that would bond and separate in a ghostly manner. The mages also benefited a lot from the bullet catch. A loaded pistol will shoot at the magician, and the magician had to catch the bullet. This dangerous stunt killed 13 magicians. At that time, jugglers were considered magicians.
Magic in the early days was not well received in Europe. Most people in Europe were uneducated and brainwashed by priests. Magic was considered a sign of witchcraft, and those who practice magic are involved in the work of the devil. However, magic was still held in high esteem in England and parts of Western Europe.
The world of magic is very unique. There are many branches in the culture of magic. Magic has many different styles. Some of the branches include illusionists, card wizards, and palm readers. Illusionists are those who perform incredible stunts in front of large crowds. Harry Houdini is considered one of the greatest illusionists and wizards of all time. Houdini was born as Enrich Weiss on March 24, 1874. Harry and his family moved to America in 1876. At the age of 10, Houdini became interested in the art of magic. Throughout his life, Harry Houdini has traveled the world performing for large crowds. With his amazing combination of flexibility and strength, Houdini was able to perform stunts that would have stunned his audience.
