	Magic (illusion) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The magician "puts his assistant into a trance" and then floats her up and into the air, passing a ring around her body to show that there are 'no wires' supporting her.
		Magicians today seldom resort to hiding things up their sleeves, which has become a cliche, although this technique can still be used on occasion.
		The magician pulls a rabbit from an empty hat; a fan of cards from 'thin air'; a shower of coins from an empty bucket; or they may, on an empty stage, appear in a puff of smoke -- all of these effects are productions, the magician produces "something from nothing".

	AskTog: Magic and Software Design
		Magicians talk about the "delicacy" of the illusion: a bit of light escaping from what is supposed to be a dark box or the errant corner of the assistant’s dress protruding from the trap door destroys forever all hopes of maintaining the illusion.
		Magicians live in both the world of their mechanical tricks and the illusory world they are creating for their spectators, but they "believe" in the spectator’s world: "All of the most successful showman-conjurers agree that you must believe in your own magic; you cannot hope to convince an audience unless you first convince yourself."–Nelms.
		Magicians must be competent at the mechanics of their craft, yet such competency does not make someone a magician, any more than knowledge of a rapid-prototyping system makes someone a software designer.

	The Magician's Assistant
		At the opening of the novel, Parsifal the magician, has suddenly died and Sabine, his assistant of twenty years and recently his wife, is trying to cope with her loss.

	Ann Patchett: The Magician's Assistant
		Sabine has worked most of her life as a magician's assistant, hopelessly in love with her partner Parsifal even after she realises that he is gay.
		(Mind you, they have also put Michael Connelly's Void Moon in the science fiction section, for even less reason.) The novel is described as being about Sabine's discovery of powers of actual magic - which might make for an intriguing fantasy novel - and this simply is not what The Magician's Assistant is about.
		This, then, is a novel of discovery, but not the self-discovery which is so common a literary theme (though as Sabine gets to know her ex-husband's real family, she learns some surprising things about herself too).

		As Egypt, a stealthy magician who was Great’s former assistant and lover, the electric Davis sexily saunters around a stage complete with thick red velvet throws and lush pillows.
		Henrietta (Wendy Rich Stetson) is a kind of narrator but is also a spirit that explains Great’s past, warns Trilby to stay away from the magician and, as the audience learns, is angry at Great’s deceased grandfather for not loving her enough.
		The dialogue between a womanizing magician named Great (Rene Millan) and his lover, Trilby (Nell Mooney), was also disjointed.

		THE MAGICIAN is everything that made the silent film, at the same time, so great and so very silly.
		He sends out his dwarf assistant to pick out the right girl.
		A zippy 80 minutes or so, today the coarse need for thrills from this type of film would have necessitated a number anatomically gruesome murders before the final heroine jeopardy and heroic rescue.

	Brickfilms.com :: Viewing Film - The Magician
		There is nothing special here, but "The Magician" does feature surprisingly good animation considering the means in which the director filmed it.
		As the title indicates, it's a short film of Magic Ian preforming magic tricks with his assistant.
		Also, since many of these films are hosted on free sites (most of us are not paid to do this, after all), sometimes waiting a few minutes and coming back will resolve a downloading error.

	SCREENSCENE
		The story, set in the late '40s and early '50s, opens with magician's assistant Myra Shumway (Bridget Fonda) chasing bunny rabbits into an elevator where standing is the dashing though ultimately nefarious millionaire Cliff Wyatt (D.W. Moffat).
		Bridget Fonda stars as Myra Shumway, a magician's assistant on the run in Mexico in Clare Peploe's "Rough Magic."
		Attempting to mix the stuff of film noir with the always-tricky brew of magic realism, plus a dollop of screwball farce, "Rough Magic" ends up being a weak mixture which could only satisfy the thirst of someone unfamiliar with the ingredients the film draws from.
