What is it to be a Magician?
A Magician, it's out of the ordinary, something unusual, it's not like you think out there, it's not just existing to win something, it's not just having the ability to perform an effect with cards or make a rabbit appear in a hat. Anyone who thinks like that is wrong, because being unusual is not a job but a passion, otherwise that would not be a Magician, that would be a fool.
Being a Magician is much more than guessing a card, it is studying and studying intensively to achieve the goals, being a Magician requires the ability to enact the techniques that involve disappearances, transformations and acts considered by society as impossible and for that objects, animals and even people can be used.
It is the realization of an art that works with several themes derived from Science and Physics working equally with Mathematics and Psychology, NLP and Microexpressions, there is also development technological, Mentalism and Architecture, an art that includes manual techniques, techniques of expression and the great art of theft, the Pickpocket.
Not only is it an art but it can also be several arts at the same time, it is above all a play where the character is a magician who can also sing, dance, draw, recite, play a song... it's a wish that everyone wants to have but few can achieve, is a function that many copy but few really are, magic is not an easy art to transmit, as it requires much more than performing mere "secret techniques" and "orders " or just a "guess the card", hence the existence of differences between the words trick, effects (or demonstrations) and magic, the difference of the right word reacts the brain correctly.
In reality, but in secret, is that a magician is not really an artist even being called as such, he is an entrepreneurial scientist whose job is to prove that there is always a solution for the impossible to become possible, thus stating that nothing is impossible .
An area that also works on the study of the Supernatural, Telekinesis and all other topics that could cross the mind of any being, changing even the world we currently know just to give a minute to those who watch the most.
Stories and stories exist about these unsung heroes who made amazing changes to the world but no one ever talked about them, stories that surround religion, politics and the development of humanity.
A Magician is a curious multifaceted person who exists to do what he likes most but also to cheer people up by eluding the weak points of their human mind.
He's a character made with deep feelings and not just ideas and imagination, he's a con artist who doesn't lie, he's a set of heteronyms and he's someone who takes an object and builds a contraption that he only uses to levitate something around him or make it disappear .
As Luís de Matos once said "A magician is the most honest profession there is because he just says he's going to deceive and he only deceives"
Everyone is aware that it's just an illusion, even if they don't see the gadget or the scheme used, that's why a magician is a crook, because he uses a cheat, but everyone likes it and that's what this character exists for, only to awaken positive feelings and give that same viewer a minute who maybe had a bad day, that's why a Magician turns out to be wonderful, a developer of secrets and a great friend.
It's a shame that not everything is really a bed of roses, in exchange for the happiness of others, a little of the charm of visual impossibility is lost, that's why we need everyone who watches, applauds, laughs and has doubts in their heads for the rest of your life "How did it happen?".
And this is being a Magician and this is being a challenge
Being a magician is wonderful, it is to develop the secrets of the mind and body, but it is also horrible because it escapes reality and enters an unknown world, this is to be magical, it is to be unique. is a crook who doesn't lie
The First Magician, Dadi
The first thing you should know is that the art of magic dating back to around 2000 BC, is considered one of the oldest arts of all time.
The big question is:
Who was the first magician?
Beemmm... first of all, all of us, we don't know. All in all... maybe God.
The oldest record found to this day is from an Egyptian papyrus, where in this same papyrus one of the oldest and most wonderful is recounted. art stories, which we call "The First Magician, Dedi".
" And who is Dedi?" you ask.
Dedi is known for performing great feats before the court of Pharaoh Cheops. It tells of the existence of an incredible performance and an incredible gift of putting the head back on the decapitated bodies and bringing them back to life, as well as other demonstrations beyond our imagination.
It is said that once, before all the people of the court, he was handed a decapitated goose, which he carried to the west side of the room, and with just a few magic words the goose began to tremble and Dedi, as he approached of the bird, made her get up and just cluck.
Suspicious, another goose was brought to him and the same thing happened, the goose trembled, Dedi approached and the bird rose and cackled.
Pharaoh, still suspicious, asked to be brought an ox and beheaded right in front of everyone, once again the magic happened, Dedi, with a new incantation, made the ox rise and moo, thus emerging a great classic in the magic with animal decapitation used to this day, as well as one of the best known effects was very used by Dedi himself, this effect called " CUPS AND BALLS" .
One of these accounts reminds me of the episode in which a magician named Brandom, who lived in England during the reign of Henry VII, was performing one of his performances in the court gardens and called everyone's attention to a pigeon that was on top of the wall. This same magician drew on the ground, under the same wall, a pigeon that looked like the real one, and he drove a dagger into the drawing in such a way that the real pigeon immediately dropped dead off the wall. The king who was watching the presentation ordered Brandom not to have this effect anymore, because if he was able to make a bird drop dead with just one drawing, he would be able to do it even with the king.
The world of magic seems like a fairy tale, in fact, it's even a fairy tale, a tale there is Harry Potter, we were called Mages and even today that name continues, there are thousands of magnificent and scary stories in this world, but if it weren't for them, today we wouldn't be who we are and we wouldn't have what we have, both physical and knowledge.
