Are
the days of the Magician wearing the tux and the tails gone? Somehow
years ago we lost the Magician who made the rabbit appear out of the
hat. It has been years since I have seen a Magician use the "Rabbit out
of the Hat" trick or concept, yet for years I have had
children
ask me that same question, "Can you make a rabbit appear out of your
hat?" Is that just innate?
Are we born with this knowledge?
My point comes to the stereotype we have of Magicians, which involves the Magician wearing the tux. When the Magician is wearing the tux and he is on a stage, he is usually presenting illusions. Gradually, the Magic world has phased out the tux. (Thank god!) but have we also phased out the illusion show concept? Today in 2010 some Magicians wear a simple white shirt and jeans, and with the new look comes a more focused intent on "Street Magic" or or as it is also
called "Close Up" Magic.
David Blaine for instance, has done specials highlighting the "Street Magic" and doing the Magic right under our noses. I personally like the Magic right under my nose because I'm a Magician and I know how hard this can be. The challenge of performing a card trick right under their noses is a lot harder if it involves a lot of sleights but yet has a different exciting feel to it. In the stage illusion category there is something fantastic about hearing an entire audience gasp at the conclusion of an effect. Isn't that just part of the allure? hearing 5000 people all laugh or gasp at the same time, just knowing that the Magician has the entire audience in his hand and where they go is up to him. That is the sign of a great Magician, he knows where we are going and he leads you there with comedy, grace and mystery and you are enjoying the ride so much that you
insist on letting him lead.
Let's get to the point, if you are known for doing close up, "Street Magic" type effects....what would you do in your live 90 minute stage show with 5000 people watching? Are most of your effects going to be seen on a big screen? and would people pay money to go and watch television for 90 minutes? I also understand that you could mix in some of the larger stage illusions, but if close up Magic is your forte, how would you fair? I really do see Magicians leaning more towards the "Street Magic" and I'm just wondering how to transfer that to the stage. I love the concept of "Street Magic" (or close up Magic) as it is a much more difficult medium that adds such a wonderful mystery to Magic, for instance, when you hear people talking about it later saying, "Yes, he did that and I was sitting about two feet from him!" If you could transfer that personal, close up feeling to the stage, you would in fact have such a hit and you truly would have created real Magic!
