24. The American Experience | Houdini | People & Events | Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin People Events. Jean Eugene RobertHoudin (1805-1871). Aspiring teenaged magician Ehrich Weiss did not conjure the name http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/houdini/peopleevents/pande03.html

Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin (1805-1871) Aspiring teenaged magician Ehrich Weiss did not conjure the name "Harry Houdini" out of thin air. Following the hallowed tradition of his craft, the name pays homage to Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin, the French performer widely considered the father of modern magic. Adding the "i" followed tradition as well, as this was a common way that magicians invoked the name of the famous 18th century Italian conjurer Pinetti. "Harry," on the other hand, was merely a pleasantly American twist on "Ehrie," his boyhood nickname. But Houdini’s relationship with his famous predecessor was not as simple as their shared name suggests. Perhaps inspired by the complex mechanical devices, or automata, demonstrated by Philippe and other conjurers, Robert-Houdin started building more than clocks. In 1844, a small android he had built for the Universal Exposition was purchased by American circus impresario P.T. Barnum for the handsome price of seven thousand francs. The timing was excellent, as it allowed Robert-Houdin time to finish the pieces he was building for a magical theater he would soon open in Paris. The public was enchanted by his elegantly appointed theater at the old Palais Royal, which featured numbers clearly inspired by Phillipe but with novel twists of their own. Even in this first endeavor, Robert-Houdin displayed a gift for presentation which would set him apart. In particular, his practice of appearing in normal evening attire, rather than elaborate robes, caught on and has led many to see him as the first "modern" magician.

Er schuf einen neuen, klaren Stil, der sich vom Prunk und dem barocken Überfluss seiner Vorgänger abhob. Somit machte Robert-Houdin die Zauberkunst wieder hoffähig, nachdem sie bis dahin eher eine derbe Unterhaltungsform für das "niedere" Volk gewesen war. Dies wurde auch dadurch deutlich, dass er als Erster im eleganten Abendanzug auftrat und nicht in einem Gauklerkostüm. Robert-Houdin war gelernter Uhrmacher, und viele seiner Kunststücke waren feinmechanische Wunderwerke. Bekannt waren vor allem seine Schwebeillusion (er ließ seinen Sohn, nur unterstützt von einer Stange, senkrecht in der Luft schweben), seine magische Bar (aus einer Flasche goss er Getränke verschiedener Farben aus), und sein Talerfang

Dai Vernon Theodor Annemann Samuel Bellachini Kalanag ... David Copperfield Fasziniert von Optik und Mechanik wandte er sich zunächst dem Bau von Automaten zu, ging dann aber dazu über, seine naturwissenschaftlichen Kenntnisse auch in der Zauberei einzusetzen. Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts eröffnete er sein eigenes Theater im alten Palais Royal, wo er das Pariser Publikum mit eleganten Kunststücken, optischen Illusionen und Mentalmagie begeisterte und sein ausgeprägtes Bühnentalent voll entfalten konnte. Als erster Zauberer setzte er dort elektromagnetische Kräfte ein, um seine Kunststücke durchzuführen. Er verzichtete auf aufwendige Roben und führte den Frack als heute noch immer übliche "Berufskleidung" der Zauberer ein. Obwohl er sich meist darauf beschränkte, Tricks weiterzuentwickeln, gilt er als Vater der modernen Magie. In seinem Geburtsort Blois ist ihm ein Museum gewidmet. Sein aufregendes Leben hat er in seinen lesenswerten Memoiren ausführlich beschrieben.

Card_Trick Home Free Card Tricks Card Tricks For Sale Card Links Card Trick History T he precise origins of card magic are subject to debate though it's generally believed that card tricks were first developed by gamblers who wanted to improve their chances of winning when playing card games. Playing cards themselves originated in the Orient with China and India amongst the main contenders for the claim of country of origin and it's thought that cards may have been introduced to Europe in the 14th century by Arabs who had travelled from the Orient. Italy, Spain and France feature in the first literary mentions of playing cards and card magic. One of the earliest, general references to card tricks is an article from 1408 which tells of a card cheat in Paris who sought to gain advantage by manipulating the cards he was playing. The first, written mentions of actual performers of card tricks are: a) a 15th century piece of writing (apparently unpublished and co-authored by no less than Leonardo da Vinci) which describes a card trick performed by Giovanni de Jasone de Ferara;

Look at the prestigious chateau, where most important events of French history were plotted. Louis XII, king of France in 1498, was born here in1462. Let's start the visit of the chateau. The architecture of the chateau de Blois covers 4 centuries of tormented history of the town. A journey that starts in the 13th century, after the counts of Blois had given their freehold to the king of France, continuing with the royal grandeur of Renaissance art and the murderous hours of religion wars to end with much quieter times but much richer in conspiracies, of Gaston d’Orleans in the 17th century. The chateau is built on a slope in full centre town, and takes the form of a quadrilateral surrounding an honour courtyard. The exterior façade shows a medieval part, recognisable because of its pointed roof, it houses the salle des “Etats Generaux” (13th century) with 2 woodwork-covered naves. A more modern one, nicely build in stone and bricks built under Louis XII (1498) which equestrian statue stands in the main porch. Crossing the interior courtyard, go

Special Welcomes: The Territorial Vice President, Mr. Art Gagne, the International President Jack Browne, and past International President Ed Morris were in attendance Prestidigitation: Our current International President Jack Browne placed a card chosen by a spectator into a small frame that he keeps in his wallet. He then demonstrated the "Zig Zag" card effect by removing and restoring the card's center while both ends were clearly in sight. Special Lecture by Past International President Ed Morris: Member Ed Morris showed how he obtained news media coverage in cities that he visited throughout the world; how he did magic shows in remote native African and Asian villages; and how he personalized his close-up effects. Among the secrets he shared was recommending to the audience that they always consider performing at charity shows because the exposure and publicity often lead to high paying bookings. The Indian Rope Trick shown at "Gili Gili 97": Member Ed Morris also showed actual photographs and a video of the performance of the Indian Rope Trick that was witnessed by 25,000 people (himself included) at "Gili Gili 97". He also answered questions about his February 1998 "Linking Ring" article which described the Indian Rope Trick in addition to the first ever competition of Indian Street Magicians.

1831 - (SIR) DAVID BREWSTER (1781-1868) Brewster wrote his Treatise On Optics suggesting the ground glass plate could be replaced by a plate that had “a thin film of dried skim milk” when he said . . . . .“I have found that a peculiarly effect is given to the images formed in the camera obscura, when they are received upon the silvered back of a looking glass, smoothed by grinding it with a flat soft bone. In the portable camera obscura, I find that a film of skimmed milk, dried upon a plate of glass, is superior to ground glass for the reception of images.” He said the portable camera obscura was a “useful invention” which “delights every person” 1831 - PETER MARK ROGET - (1779-1869) Some reports claim the Phenakistiscope to be the invention of Roget. We believe this to be eroneous in that no facts or proof have been offered in any documentation we have seen to substantiate this. Multiple spellings of the word also appear from commentary to commentary; Phenakistoscope, Phenakistascope and Phenakistiscope which we believe is the correct spelling. An excellent compilation of these instruments and other inventors, inventions and subjects relating to cinematography can be seen at Russell Naughton's website Adventures In Cybersound 1832 - (SIR) CHARLES WHEATSTONE (1802-1875) Wheatstone had been working on his idea of a projector-type system that would present photographs stereoscopically but without any form of movement. This year he commissions an optical maker in London to construct two of these devices. One will use reflecting mirrors and the other refracting prisms. He will announce them in 1838.

Die Geschichte der Zauberkunst kann man in drei Epochen gliedern: Die Zeit bis zum Beginn des Mittelalters, das Mittelalter und die Blüte der Gaukler und der Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts bis heute. Die komplette Geschichte der Zauberkunst darzustellen würde den Rahmen hier sprengen, aber eine kurzgefasste Übersicht mit den wichtigsten Ereignissen möchte ich erwähnen. Begonnen hat es mit altorientalischer Priestermagie. Die Priester der damaligen Zeit waren Wissenschaftler, Ärzte und Naturforscher und sie benutzten ab und zu Tricks und Täuschungen, um ihr Amt zu bestätigen und das Vorhandensein von höheren Mächten zu beweisen. Eine Tür öffnete sich selbständig oder andere “Wunder” geschahen. Es gab aber auch die Zauberkunst, die zur Unterhaltung der Zuschauer ausgeübt wurde. Das älteste Dokument, das Westcar Papyrus, berichtete von einem Zauberkünstler mit Namen Dedi, der am Hofe von König Cheops eine Vorstellung gab. Er schlug z.B. einer Gans den Kopf ab und zauberte ihn wieder dran. Auch gab es schon die Seiltänzer, Jongleure und Akrobaten, die als wanderndes Volk durch die Lande zog. Bei Festen der Reichen oder auf Märkten und Volksfesten zeigten sie ihr Können. Der soziale Stand war sehr niedrig, fast wie ein Sklave. Die ersten Gaukler kamen über das römische Reich nach Deutschland, ihre ersten Kunststücke waren das Becherspiel und Enthauptungstricks.
