Illusion display tricks based on the use of special equipment. Smart machines do all kinds of disappearances and the appearance of "mysterious" objects, as well as the artist himself or his assistant, serves to fly things and people in the air, sawing or burning them.
Device equipment - special springs, double bottom, hidden partitions, specially designed mechanisms, installation of specific mirrors: and so on.
allows artists to incorporate viewers into fascinating illusions All illusionist devices and devices are carefully disguised; his actions, and the actions of his assistants, are thoroughly thought through and worked out. Every movement of the artist or his assistant has his own purpose, unnecessary movements are unacceptable. Illusions, like manipulators, use a lot of distractions. At the right moment, the assistants can secretly block the illusionist from the public eye, transfer invisible to him or take away from him the desired object.In short, the role of assistants in the illusionist's room is very responsible. They rely heavily on the success of doing the trick; in other cases, an illusionist without an assistant can not speak at all.
The illusionist assistant should have some training, including physical training. To hide in a very tight tool, and then suddenly appear, the assistant takes acrobatic dexterity - after all, the focus takes place in a matter of seconds. That's why the experienced assistants are highly appreciated by the artists of this genre. Any illusion, error is unacceptable in illusionary appeal.
However, a technically perfect trick is not an art. To demonstrate individual tricks embodied in an artistic number, you need a great director's work to determine his composition, style and design. And, of course, the artist needs the talent of the original actors. Creating an extensive program, the magician, as a rule, combines the implementation of manipulation tricks with illusion tricks.
Many interesting tricks, passed down from generation to generation, persist to this day. We must pay homage to the wits and inventions of the magicians in the past. The nomadic artists are sometimes skilled craftsmen of various adaptations, apparatus. Even now their props and some sophisticated and "smart" devices are used. Art illusion applies the achievements of science and technology: moving and audible machines, "magic bulbs" ("Laterna magica") and various optical instruments. The possibility of the genre was significantly expanded by the discovery of new laws of physics and chemistry in the 18th - 19th century.
