Magicians have long been a preferred entertainment source for weddings of private events. Whether it be Las Vegas or Los Angeles, Magic is great.
Magic has always fascinated the world. Magicians have long been a source of entertainment and wonder for audiences around the world. There have been many notable figures that have contributed to the field and achieved fame. Early on, many people were afraid of magic, insisting that it is sorcery or witchcraft. Johann Georg Faust was accused to be involved with occult during the German Renaissance. Joseph Pinetti is a notable figure, known as the Professor of Natural Magic and was known for being animated and lively on stage. He was active in the late 18th century in theaters in Italy.
Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin has been called the founding father of magic. Many magicians looked up to him and followed in his footsteps. His tricks included levitation, mind reading, and a trick called Second Sight. This would involve him walking in the audience picking out random items. Then, he had his assistant, who would be blindfolded, describe the items in great detail. He retired at age 48 and changed careers to become a writer and an inventor.
Not many people do not recognize the name Harry Houdini. He specializes in escape tricks, ranging from escaping from a straight jacket all the way up to escaping death by being buried alive. Houdini drew crowds whether he went and even crusaded for professional standards and minimizing fraudulent magicians. On top of his outlandish stunts, he was known as the King of Cards or sometimes the King of Handcuffs. Harry Blackstone, Sr. is another historical magician. He was the first magician to perform the now famous sawing a woman in half, which was made possible by a circular saw. His son, Harry Blackstone, Jr. also went on the follow in his father's footsteps in magic.
Many argue that David Copperfield is the most well respected magician in the world. Copperfield began his career with an interest in ventriloquism but quickly settled on illusions as his passion. He performs massive illusions like the Statue of Liberty disappearing and reappearing. David Blaine is another famous modern magician. David Blaine recreates many of Houdini's tricks, including being buried alive for a week. He also has successful broken several world records, including being frozen in an ice block for 63 hours. Siegfried and Roy, Penn and Teller, and Criss Angle are a few more modern magicians who have made a mark on the field.
