Description
Magic is one of the most ancient performing arts. Over the centuries, it has undergone many changes in presentation and style, to the level it has reached today.
The Shamaans, Witch Doctors and Tribal Chiefs of ancient used the principles of Magic in some form or the other to wield power, awe their tribe or congregation, or to kill chid cure. In each case, it was an attempt to create an impression of supernatural powers, in fact, achieved by perfectly normal and natural means.
Over the centuries, Magic had developed into a more respectable and socially acceptable form of entertainment. It has all the ingredients of good entertainment, mystery and wonder, laughter and a sense of the impossible happening, or dreams coming true.
When cinema was invented, Magic and live-variety-entertainment took a back seat. Big-stage-Magic-shows around the world faded away, because it was possible to create more impossibilities on a two-dimensional screen, and materialize more fantasies than is possible in real life.
