Magic (sometimes referred to as stage magic to distinguish it from paranormal or


ritual magic) is a performing art that entertains audiences by staging tricks or
creating illusions of seemingly impossible[1] or supernatural[2] feats using
natural means. These feats are called magic tricks, effects or illusions. A
professional who performs such illusions is called a stage magician or an
illusionist. Some performers may also be referred to by names reflecting the type
of magical effects they present, such as prestidigitators, conjurors, hypnotists,
mentalists, or escapologists.
The first book containing explanations of magic tricks appeared in 1584. During
the 1600s many similar books were published that described magic tricks. Until
the 18th century magic shows were a common source of entertainment at fairs. A
founding figure of modern entertainment magic was Jean Eugne Robert-Houdin,
who had a magic theatre in Paris in 1845. John Henry Anderson was pioneering
the same transition in London in the 1840s. Towards the end of the 1800s, large
magic shows permanently staged at big theatre venues became the norm.[3] As
a form of entertainment, magic easily moved from theatrical venues to television
magic specials.

Traditionally, magicians refuse to reveal the methods behind their tricks to the
audience. Membership in professional magicians' organizations often requires a
commitment never to reveal the secrets of magic to non-magicians. The teaching
of performance magic was once a secretive practice.[citation needed] Magic
performances tend to fall into a few specialties or genres. Stage illusions use
large-scale props and even large animals. Platform magic is performed for a
medium to large audience. Close-up magic is performed with the audience close
to the magician. Escapology involves escapes from confinement or restraints.
Pickpocket magicians take audience members' wallets, belts, and ties. Mentalism
creates the illusion that the magician can read minds. Comedy magic is the use
of magic combined with stand-up comedy, an example being Penn & Teller. Some
modern illusionists believe that it is unethical to give a performance that claims
to be anything other than a clever and skillful deception. Others argue that they
can claim that the effects are due to magic. These apparently irreconcilable
differences of opinion have led to some conflicts among performers. Another
issue is the use of deceptive practices for personal gain outside the venue of a
magical performance. Examples include fraudulent mediums, con men and
grifters who use deception for cheating at card games.
