The earliest record of magic in history was in Egypt, about 2600 B.C., more than 4,000 years ago. The Wiska manuscript, discovered in 1823, records a magician named Dedi who was called to perform for the pharaohs. He can cut off the head of the goose, but the severed goose can still walk, and finally revert back to the original goose. The record describes the magician playing the same trick on the Pelican and the Bull. But when Pharaoh asked him to do the same trick on the prisoners, he refused.

Ancient Greek temples also made use of the principles of magic. For example, when the shaman opened the door of the temple, the bellows would blow to the ground, and flames would appear on the altar. There are also talking idols made of air ducts.

The earliest record of a trick is the Cups And Balls, which is the oldest known trick. It is also recorded in the Egyptian frescoes (Tomb of Baqt III at Beni Hassan B.C 2500) as shown in the accompanying drawings. The real record of its historical performances dates back to the 1st century. The trick was very popular in the Middle Ages and was widely performed by magicians in the market. Magicians at that time were called juggers. These travelling performers, musicians, poets, and stuntmen go to the open spaces of the village to entertain the villagers with simple tricks.

There is no way to verify the exact time of the origin of magic, but it is speculated that magic has been around since the beginning of human activity. The origin of magic is religion and belief. In ancient times, people believed that everything in nature was manipulated by spirits or gods, so sorcerers or shamans used human superstitious psychology and used principles unknown to people to create miracles, so that people believed that these were performed by spirits or gods, and strengthened religious rituals through magic, and believers confirmed their beliefs more.

By the end of the Middle Ages, the suffering of magicians began. European magicians began to face strong opposition from churches. Because of the belief in witchcraft and the supernatural, any magic that was not recognized by the church was considered black magic in this age of superstition. As long as one person testifies, the magician will face trial. The magicians were both accused of being in alliance with the devil.

Despite persecution, magicians remain a dangerous and popular profession. Some magicians were favored and protected by large landowners and aristocrats. During this period, the magicians who traveled around performing only had a limited number of tricks to perform. At that time, playing cards were not common, and tricks that required large props were expensive. So magicians rely on dexterity and storytelling. Tricks with birds and animals are quite popular.

Nearly 300 years ago, religious persecution of magic deepened, and during the reign of King Henry VIII of England, the punishment for performing magic tricks was the death penalty. By the end of the 16th century, the persecution of witches reached the point of a massacre. As a result of these crazy acts, the magicians are threatened with their lives, and if they do not share the secrets of the magic, they will be put to death. This led to the creation of the first English book on magic, the 1584 book "Witchcraft Exploration? （The Discovery Of Witchcraft）。 The purpose of the book's author, Reginor Scott, is to save the life of the magician, and in order to distinguish the magician's skill from the evil power of the witch, he reveals many magic secrets in the book, in order to prove that these seemingly miraculous miracles are in fact achieved by some natural techniques, and not by the power of evil. And his work really prevents the magician of the hairpin from being burned to death.

Historically, whenever a crowd gathered, a magician's performance would be sold to the full. In the eighteenth century, the most frequented place was the annual fair. All circus performances and stunt performances will come here. But in this competition, the only star is the magician. The greatest magician of the eighteenth century was Essex Fox. He became famous in the 1720s and can be found in the main markets of various towns. The classic magic trick of Esek is the Egg Bag, which constantly takes out eggs and small items from an empty bag. A shilling is required to see a Fox show. He was a master of the technique, and as a result, he became a high-income earner and even a die-hard supporter. At the time of his death in 1731, the newspapers reported that he had left behind an inheritance of £10,000, the equivalent of $1 million today, which shows how popular he was.

In the nineteenth century, with the rise of the theater, magicians found a new stage. The first magician to bring magic into the theater and make a name for himself in the theater was the Scottish magician John Henry Anderson (1814-1874), known as "The Great Wizard of North". His innovative performance style has influenced many magicians in later generations. The magician combined lighting and stage effects to usher in a new era of magic. Magicians have reached the pinnacle of history, and many magic tricks have been created for the cinema. The end of the 19th century was the golden age of magic shows, and magic shows everywhere were packed to the brim. The magician wore a formal tuxedo at that time, just like the audience who went to the theater at that time, which is also the origin of the magician performing in a tuxedo. Some magicians have even become household names.

The most famous magician of the early twentieth century was Harry Houdini (1874-1926), a household name in the United States, who excelled in escape performances, handcuffs, tights, milk jugs, Chinese water prisons, and most famously, underwater escapes. Houdini was also a pioneer in exposing the so-called paranormal people who used magic as a method to deceive the public. His deeds are still remembered today.

However, the take-off of the film industry in the 1930s caused a rapid decline in the market for magic shows. Because in movies, any magic can happen. Only a true master of magic can captivate the audience.

Nowadays, the demand for magic is rising again. The neon signs of Las Vegas have replaced the campfires of ancient times. Developments such as Las Vegas, with the allure of television, have created a new generation of magic superstars. These magicians are expensive and have supporters all over the world, which was unimaginable to the magicians of the past. Today, magic still satisfies people's need for wonder and entertainment.

Magic teaches us that life is full of wonders and dreams; It also tells us that all things may not be just as they appear on the surface. And the history of believing in magic will continue to develop into the distant future along with the history of mankind.

The word magic comes from a wide range of sources, the most important of which is an extension of the blinding method and a generalization of the curse-type spells used by the demons. In the beginning, some terrifying creatures called "dragons" appeared in the world, which posed a great threat to the safety of human life and property of humans and other races, so many warriors went to slay dragons. But they soon discovered that dragons could not be defeated by force alone, and a number of smelters jumped into the cause, first creating substances that were destructive to the flesh, recipes that are now considered rudimentary forms of magic. It was then further discovered that some verbal communication with dragons could weaken or even limit the dragon's activities during battle, and the demon's unique psychic communication was especially effective for this, which was the origin of the curse. At the same time, due to the accumulation of a large amount of treasure by the dragon, some profit-seeking people began to find ways to obtain the dragon treasure through "peaceful" means, and the method of concealment was born. In the first century, due to the effectiveness of the blinding method, the magic developed rapidly, and by the middle of the 4th century there were no less than six hundred. Since then, all kinds of magic have developed rapidly.

Magic is basically a concept that came from the West, for example, English distinguishes magic more precisely by different words, such as Magic (magic, magic, illusion, spell), Sorcery (witchcraft, Taoism, witchcraft), etc., each with a subtle difference. But some magicians think that the word magic is too different from magic, so they add a "k" after "magic" to distinguish it to show that magic is different from the magic used to entertain the audience on stage. Men are called sorcerers or magicians, and women are called witches, witches, or witches, and can also be called warlocks, magicians, or magicians. They do "Magick" instead of "Magic".

Magic is mostly a mysterious force or act, and it is the product of imagination. But on the other hand, it is one of the non-existent things that people most want to achieve. Paranormal phenomena that have been explained but not proven are often classified as a category of science, but cannot be called magic, so for now magic is only considered to be a product of the imagination. However, if there is a situation in which the principle is successfully explained and can be used, it can be called magic
