The First Magician, Dedi

      The first thing you should  know is that the art of magic remote to about 2000 years 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. Seeing well...  perhaps God.

  O  more  ancient record found until today is from an Egyptian papyrus, where in this same  papyrus counts  one of the oldest and  wonderful  art stories, which we call  "O  First magician, Dedi".

  " And who is Dedi?" you ask.  

  Dedi is known for performing great feats before the court of Pharaoh Cheops. existence is counted  of an incredible performance and an incredible gift of putting the head back in the decapitated bodies making them go back to the  life, as well as other demonstrations beyond  of 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, did she  get up  only  clucking.

  Suspicious, another goose was brought to him and the same thing happened, the goose trembled, Dedi approached and the bird  he got up and cackled.

  Pharaoh, still with his  I suspect, he asked to be brought an ox and beheaded right in front of everyone, once again the magic happened, Dedi, with a  new enchantment, made the ox rise and moo, thus emerging a great classic in magic with decapitation of used animal until  to today, as well as, one of the best known effects was widely used by the  Dedi, this effect  called " CUPS AND BALLS" .

​​

  One of these reports brings me  I remember 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 the fence. this same  magician drew on the floor below  of the same wall, a pigeon resembling the real one, and nailed in such a way  a dagger in the drawing, which  then the royal pigeon dropped dead off the wall. The king who was watching the performance ordered that Brandom no longer do this effect, for if he was able to make a bird fall  dead with only one drawing, he would be able to do even with the king.

  the world by magic  it seems like a fairy tale, actually, it's even a fairy tale, a tale there's Harry Potter, we were called  Magos and even today this name continues, there are thousands of magnificent stories and also  scary  in this world, but if it weren't for them, today we wouldn't be who we are and we wouldn't have  what do we have, so much physical  as of knowledge.
