THE PAST

The first definition of street magic refers to a traditional form of magic performance - that of busking. In this, the magician draws an audience from passer by ‘s and performs an entire act for them. In exchange, the magician seeks remuneration either by having a receptacle for tips available throughout the act or by "passing the hat" at the end of the performance.

In India, where street magic is very alive, a family of street magicians take center stage. The tricks performed are of an exceptionally bloody nature; in one trick, a tongue is cut out; in another, a stage knife, oozing blood, is stuck in the neck of a child.

DIVIDING A HUMAN BODY IN TWO PARTS

1. There is very little documentation about street magic until the 1970’s, where some groundbreaking books were published which led to the creation of the modern day street magician and began a career of a young individual called David Blaine.

2.If you ask a true street magician or the most important skill is in his profession, he will tell you it has nothing to do with the skill of the tricks but more to do with the skill of keeping a crowd entertained and making them want to give you money.

3. The style of magic commonly performed by David Blaine is not in fact street magic, but in fact guerrilla magic. Guerrilla magic is seen as a new twist on street magic whereby the participants are surprised to be involved. Anyone watching one of David Blaine TV series will be able to verify that the participants are certainly surprised to be involved in most cases.

4. One of the most famous and original street magicians is a New Yorker called Jeff Sheridan. His groundbreaking work titled 'Street magic, an illustrated history of wandering magicians and their conjuring arts'.
