The story of magic is older than recorded history. the first written record describe a magician performing nearly 4,000 years ago at an Egyptian Pharaoh’s court and confirm that magic and the art of illusion have been an integral part of the human experience throughout the world and throughout time. Magicians entertained in the marketplaces of ancient Greece and Rome and the tradition has continued through the centuries. From outdoor venues to indoor theatres, from traveling shows to vaudeville, from nightclubs to television, magic has been an exceedingly popular source of entertainment.
