List of magicians: Encyclopedia II - Escapology - Techniques of escapology

Escapology in its purest form is generally related to ropework, and problems are set with rope, cord, or string. However, professional escapologists' tricks will include anything from handcuffs (rigged or otherwise) to chains, mailbags, or even, in the case of Harry Houdini, escape from a prison cell. Items such as straitjackets are a staple feature in any show, either in "rigged" or official versions. Although many cuffs sold in toy stores or adult stores don't even need a key to release, similar types can be opened with any thin, ri ...

List of magicians: Encyclopedia - Coin magic

Coin magic is a general term for feats of conjuring employing one or more coins which are manipulated so as to deceive and baffle the audience. Because it is focused on physically small objects, coin magic is classed as close-up magic or table magic, as the audience must be close to the performer to see the effects. Stage conjurors generally cannot use coin effects. Coin magic is generally considered harder to master than other close-up techniques such as card magic, and is one of the least performed forms of conjuring. Coin magic req ...

List of magicians: Encyclopedia - Balducci levitation

The Balducci levitation is a simple magic trick, credited to Ed Balducci. It produces the illusion of a person briefly levitating a few inches above the ground. It is a popular illusion with magicians because it can be performed impromptu and without special equipment. Magician David Blaine performs this trick. On television, his act, which features reactions of the audience, is intercut with shots of him levitating with hidden mechanical assistance. This allows him to appear to have both feet quite a few inches above the groun ...

List of magicians: Encyclopedia - Sleight of hand

Sleight of hand, also known as prestidigitation ('quick fingers') or legerdemain (pronounced in French, from 'lightness of hand' or deformation of 'le jeu de main' i.e. 'playing with the hand'), is the set of techniques used by a magician (or card sharp) to manipulate small objects such as cards and coins secretly. Sleight of hand is not a branch of magic, but rather, the means used by a magician to achieve various aims. The techniques involved are often difficult, sometimes taking months of practice before they can be p ...

The novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, by Michael Chabon (winner of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize), features escapology as an important plot point. Ragtime, by E.L.

Super Chair Suspension is an illusion where a person floats in midair, supported only by the back of a fold-up chair.

List of magicians: Encyclopedia II - Sawing a woman in half - Famous Performances

There have been many famous performances of this illusion in some of the many different forms the illusion takes. In 1956, Indian illusionist P. C. Sorcar used a buzzsaw to cut his wife in two during a televised performance. Just when he had divided her the host quickly signed off and the show ended. This caused horrified viewers to believe the poor woman had accidentally been killed. In reality, it was a live broadcast and time had run out.
