Extractions: document.onmousedown=destro; I Grandi Prestigiatori: Jean Eugene Robert in arte Robert Houdin Jean Eugene Robert in arte Robert Houdin. E' nato a Blois (Francia) il 6 dicembre 1805, Jean Eugene Robert rimase fin da piccolo affascinato dai meccanismi complessi degli orologi che il padre, per mestiere, riparava e costruiva. La prestidigitazione lo colse per puro caso sottoforma di due grossi volumi di magia bianca e fisica dilettevole che Jean Eugene ricevette al posto di due libri sull'orologeria. Il colpo di fulmine fu immediato e nel giro di qualche anno Robert-Houdin (la seconda parte del cognome venne presa dal cognome della moglie) divenne uno tra i più importanti e riconosciuti prestigiatori del suo tempo. Robert-Houdin aprì un proprio teatro che tuttavia cedette dopo pochi anni ma che mantenne il suo nome anche dopo la sua morte quando ne divenne direttore il famoso illusionista George Meliès (1861-1938), noto come pioniere della cinematografia mondiale, che purtroppo non in grado di sfruttare questa sua invenzione morirà in miseria. Robert-Houdin morì il 13 giugno 1871, dopo aver contribuito con la sua persona, non solo al rinnovamento dell'arte magica, sostituendo gli abiti scuri e le luci cupe con vestiti da sera ed esibizioni in piena luce, ma avendo scritto il proprio nome nella Storia, con la S maiuscola, sia nel campo della Magia che in quello dell'orologeria.

Extractions: 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:
Extractions: 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.

Extractions: Presented originally in 1849 by Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin (1805-1871) and featured in his performances at St. James Hall, London in 1853, the conjuror places his son in a trance and then sets him horizontally seven feet in the air, balanced precariously on the tip of a cane. Houdini meets Japan. The conjuror, his hands bound together by a member of the audience, thrusts his hands magically back and forth through the edge of a Samurai sword. Performed originally in the United States in 1901 and then in London, 1909 by Ten-Ichi (1852-1912), the Thumb Tie combines danger and mystery in a most refined and sophisticated manner. An image selected by a member of the audience from a sketch book materializes visibly as an oil painting on a large canvas examined previously by the audience. This mystery, originally a closely guarded secret of early twentieth century spirit mediums was uncovered by an American named David P. Abbott (1863-1934) and presented in theatres around the world by the great English inventor and performer P.T. Selbit (1881-1938). More Magic Inspired by the original illusion created by P. T. Selbit in 1921, members of the audience assist the magician in cutting a person in two. The Conjuror presents its own twist on this cornerstone illusion, a presentation which owes as much to Ernst Lubistch and screwball comedy as it does to its magical inventor.
