In the modern world, the various phenomena is so intertwined that sometimes it is impossible to divide the virtual and real, illusion and present. The art of mystical impact on consciousness in different epochs was understood and interpreted in their own way. In paganism, it was considered magic, in the Middle Ages called witchcraft and burned on fires, in the era of educating the nature of illusions, they tried to interpret scientifically and use the power of focus when treating certain diseases. Today, the "craftsmen" stepped at the face of the impossible.

So, one of the first magicians was the French physicist Nicolas-Philippe Ledry (1731-1807), speaking under the pseudonym Komy. Considering your demonstrations of a kind of art, took the modified name of the Greek god festivals and feasts of Koma.

It became famous for light and sound illusions, magnetic and electrical effects.

I visited Caliostro and in Russia and supposedly the gold reserves of Potemkin. The graph conducted magic sessions, inventing the elixir of immortality. Scandals associated with his experiments reached Catherine. Dissatisfied Empress was ordered to send Caliostro from the country. However, a graph in the documentation was a mystical way on four different brunetners. But in other countries there was no calmness.

To represent the highest monarch, a complex show with exotic animals and mirrors was prepared. In general, Pynetti loved to be cloudy, doing the complex focuses-transformations, when one item extracted from the other became suddenly the copyright token of Pynetti. The secret of his manipulations tried to solve many, which was extremely annoyed by the illusionist. He founded his focuses on scientific phenomena: physics, chemistry, mathematics, mechanics and medicine gave him a reason for "miracles." The most famous of them is a focus with a swallow. From Pynetti's cage, I got a bird, and she "dyed" in his hands. Having gave the viewer's "hopeless" to the Taurus and asking for rising above him, he did a miracle of revival. The secret of the focus is simple: the illusionist imperceptibly pressed the shuttlecock to the carotid artery and temporarily deprived the bird of consciousness.
Having reached fame and fame, Pynetti became very capricious and spoiled. He could afford to be late for the courtyard of the emperor Paul and in incomprehensible way to change the time on the clock. Visited the magician and in Russia. It was here that he died at the age of 50.
No less excited by the legends, the activities of the Italian Giovanni Bartolomeo Bosco (1793-1863).

During the Napoleonic campaign to Russia, being accidentally in the French army, continued to entertain the soldiers, imperceptibly devastating their pockets. Copying, he did not despair in the harsh conditions of Siberian frosts, and, on the contrary, only improved his focuses, thereby sowing to conquer Russian hearts. Returning to Italy, Bosco became a regulance of rich salons, where he was invited to surprise the public. The heir of the Illusionist continued the case of his father and was no less popular.
The mystery permeates the whole life of a talented and unpredictable Harry Hudini (1874-1926). The real name - Eric Weiss, was born in the poor family and since childhood I knew the street "professions." Stray circuschi and magicians fascinated child. So he became interested in the illusion. At 18, he turned into a Gudini, having changed the name of the famous Focussary Gudina, and the name borrowed from Kellar Harry.

World fond came to him thanks to the numbers that demonstrated the ability to free themselves from different ways. So, chained to a 30-kilogram ball and abandoned in Thames, Harry not only could not drowned, but, to universal surprise, quickly emerged absolutely free. Also known and such a trick, which today repeats many illusionists, for example, the Safron's brothers. A strained shirt-tied down on his head on a hook, a focker has managed to quickly get out of imprisonment, demonstrating the wonders of incredible flexibility. Of course, it would not be possible to achieve such guttaperships without numerous workouts, which the great illusionist bent from childhood. The release tricks were major in his program, and wherever he toured, gathered huge halls. He was also fond of the art of cinema and aviation. The first flew through Australia. Helped the experts to expose Charlatans. Maestro died randomly from peritonitis, provoked by a blow to the abdominal cavity.
The follower of Gudini was David Werner (1894-1992). He demonstrated its first tricks in the 7th age. Subsequently, so honed his skills, which surrounded his predecessor, who failed to solve the secret of his focus. He worked under the pseudonym Dai Vernon, who acquired as a result of banal typo in the newspaper. He opened my first micromagism.

Who he was not only - both Beritor, and the administrator, and even uniformist. And, watching the dexterity of the hands of circus, finally decided to go out with his focuss in the arena. What only jokes around his last name did not go. The artist even suggested to decipher it with humor. There are known versions such as the word "cinema" one letter fell out, Kio - "Kiev famous deceiver", "how interesting to deceive", "sorcerer from Ossetia". The manner of the focus was mild, relaxed, everything appealed as it were for an uncomfortable joke. He even issued a "manual" "Focuses and Focifurses."
Heirs Emil Emilievich and Igor Emilevich continued the case of the Father. Moreover, Emil (1938 G.) debuted in a preschool age, hiding from his comrades in the concert box and rolling out of it at the time of the presentation on the flooded fires arena to surprise not only viewers, but also parents.

Many tricks from unpleasant he did thanks to the study of the laws of physics feasible. For example, the focus with the rope by which the gymnast is coming. Soft and flexible when throwing up, it became solid, it was only necessary to calculate the load correctly and correctly select the material for the manufacture of the main attribute of the focus.
Igor Kio (1944-2006) has always performed by the assistant of his father. For the first time came into the arena at the age of 15, when Emil Teodorovich fell ill.

In his productions, he tried to imitate the father's manner, giving speeches the character of a whole performance. Distributing television dancers create a relaxed atmosphere. The girl is cut down by the girl, and the woman who fell into the cage turns under the circus dome in a formidable predator, the king of the beasts, the lion, the mannequins instantly change the outfits on the lazes from the shocked viewers, etc. He did a lot for the circus, and for pop, and For television. He is rightly called the "mystery of the twentieth century", "King of Wizards".
A human legend, an extreme-class illusionist, consider Uri Geller (1946 p.). Having identified himself with the Mesnet of the Higher Mind, he began with ordinary tricks: bending a spoon, read pictures in a closed book or sealed envelope. Then complicate the tricks. Supernatural breaks up in the clock management.

A real wizard, a man who has overcome the space of David Copperfield (1956 of the r.). The first tricks demonstrated in childhood, since the age of 12 began to professionally speak with them. Copperfield - a brilliant generator of ideas, embodying them.

The most young today is the illusionist is David Blaine (1973 p.). He became famous for the wonderful "revival" birds, card focus and created his own show.

Truly, enjoyable release trips from the kingdom of the dead (burial alive in a plastic container), freezing in ice, imprisonment in a box for a month and a half without food demonstrated supernatural possibilities. Blaine can stand at the top of the 22-meter column of 35 hours, for 17 minutes to delay breathing under water. True, such victims for the sake of a spectacular number are healthy. He is losing weight, and is experiencing clinical supercooling, but he is a short record holder of the Guinness Book of Records. Blaine is ready to continue to endure colossal loads, risks himself, to create the limit of opportunities and invents new tricks.

Illusions are enchanting adults and lead to indescribable delight of children. Immediately I want to get a cylinder somewhere, white rabbit, and all the nearest free evening make the eared animal disappear. True, the compassion for the brothers to our smaller almost immediately destroys this gust. But the desire to look at the tricks and each time naively try to solve them.

Soaring Swirl Proud Ivanova

On Russia, the illusion as art came from Byzantium, and the Greek "Skommarkhos" (sweetechnik) continued for the artists of this genre for a long time. Crochetons entertained and kings in palaces, and simple people in squares. At the turn of the XIX-XX centuries, the art of illusion successfully demonstrated the talented city of Ivanov. The plastic trick "The game with the Swirl" was in the magic "parity" of the swirl, which was subordinate to the movement of the hands of the magician, while the performer did not touch the tool. The incredible plastic of the hands and ... The finest horse hair was helped by proudly, but the viewers created a magical illusion of "soaring swirls". By the way, the Gordea Ivanov was first not afraid to point out his Russian name on the bills. Before him, all Russian performers were chosen exclusively ingenic pseudonyms: Flolov called himself Frolov, and Larionov was not called Leoni anywhere.

Magic Ball Nina Protan

It is believed that such a focus was the first to demonstrate the Japanese Okito. However, it is not. The life of this room was presented by one of the first Russian illusionists Nina Zuben, speaking in St. Petersburg in the Men's Herold Herold Costume (hence her alias "Gerold"). A big shiny ball was bandaged on the rope, which the performer stretched in her hands. At a certain point she turned the rope vertically, but the ball did not go down, but remained in the center. Only the replicas of the public "went!" And "Stop!" They led a crystal ball in motion. The focus secret is simple: the tunnel was constructed in the ball, with a strong tension, the rope was tightly fixed in this tunnel, but it was worth only to loosen the tension, and the ball began to move.

Frantic Alexander

At the beginning of the XIX century, the public was applauded by Alexander Hermann, who dissolved a glass brought to her lips, and then removed him from the pocket of one of the audience. At the same time, the glass was filled. In the middle of the room, one of the audience threw out in amazement and some confusion, because the ring with a mysterious way disappeared. In the hands of the magician, the silver coin became golden. At the same time, the illusionist almost continuously juggled, imitated the voices of birds and animals. Agility of hands and no fraud, you will say, and you will be absolutely right! The fingers of the illusionist possess exceptional agility and mobility, and were also so strong that the abandoned cards easily caught the audience even on the farthest rows. He loved Alexander Hermann "Together" and outside of work, for example, breakfast in the restaurant. Embling down from the plates and appearing from the tie of one of the guests of the Eggs of the Eggs Skump, turning into a shoe covering a bottle of champagne ... while the magician put his shoes on his running leg, and because of the sneakers I took a glass with champagne. In general, everything was having fun, except for waiters.

"WATCH" fingers of Alexander Agel

The nail of the Alexander Program Begotie became the focus, sorry for the pun, "Piercing the finger of a nail". By itself, the focus is quite simple: first the public shows one nail, who wishes can even make sure that the nail is real, and the fingers are punctured completely different, specially made for focus. The skill of the magician was in a unique ability to confirm the audience. So, on one of the speeches, the Parisian public was overwhelmed by the illusionist from all sides, without leaving him the personal space, which is necessary to fulfill a trick, but that brilliantly performed the number. True, the brazen was somewhat offended that he was constantly asked to fulfill the number with a nail. How else can you explain that on one of the ideas in response to another request, is it really punctured his finger with a real nail? True, as a real professional, tried to turn everything into a joke.

Alexander Vadimov. Focus-inventor

The famous trick with a singeling of a steel needle was improved by the famous illusionist Alexander Vadimov, who worked under the ally-Wad pseudonym. In his performance, a man, "protested" needle with a ribbon, went with this tape itself. Vadimov was not only the performer, but also invented many new numbers and tricks, and also wrote a lot of useful books for novice focus lovers. So, he designed "Tamburin": a wide, but thin hexagon on the legs, hide behind which is simply impossible. Tambourine was covered with paper from two sides, which the illusionist ruined, then pulled out from there with a tape, and two girls jumped out of Tamburin. By the way, for a long time in this room, Vadimov was assisted by twin sisters, which later lured to their long-time competitor Alexander Alekseevich in their program - Emil Kio.

Emil Kio. Lightning Man

The family was shocked when Emil Kio began working in a circus - none of the relatives had no relation to this kind of art. In the famous circus of the legendary chiniselle kio, everything was forced to manage all: to sell tickets, help train horses, fly under the dome, conduct interviews with hired artists.

Igor and Emil Kio successfully continued the case of the Father.
