Can Technology Kill Magic?
Magicians have exploited science
for long to create entertaining spectacles, sometimes through props while other
times using technology. There was a time when technology when general public
was not aware of it. Earlier the magicians used to create an environment and
various devices that could create specters look like real and pure magic to the
audience. At that time, they were used as secret devices for centuries before
the general public came to know about them.
Today, however, it is not that
easy to have such technical advantages over your audience. People are smart now
days. In this information age, magicians are concerned about the exposure of
their craft that is fatal to their business. It is true that most secrets of magicians
can be googled and discovered within moments through your desktop but few
things can never be stolen ie presentations and perfection. It should not
surprise you that the world has illusionist that can create magic through ipad
and are called as ipad magician.
Now the question is will these illusion destroying spoilers really matter? The ultimate challenge for the magicians is to keep renovating their art and this is what makes the future of magic exciting. There have been multiple instances when the magicians have felt the threat. There have been times when people, under the name of others, started to reveal the secret of magic to newspapers, magazines or other media. Magicians, at that time, as the audience and non audience might learn the secrets behind the tricks.
Fortunately, it never happened. Such cases, instead of
killing the magic, acted as an important booster by inspiring the children to
take interest into the subject and turned into magician itself. Magic, at such
times, went on to become a golden topic and discussed more than ever.
All in the mind
The secret of magician is not the trick but the influence on
what you think when you use your own preconceived ideas of the world that amaze
you. One of the best things about the art of magic is that it does not matters
where the trap is, the secret is not exactly a secret but an influence of
other’s thought. What you think and
experience while watching magic is unique to everyone but the magicians have an
idea that everyone, more or less thinks alike. Even as it gets harder to have a
technological edge, applying this psychological edge offers us nearly limitless
possibilities.
The most common secrets are out but the roots are still
hidden. They only come from endless hours of trial and error and getting an
understanding of the audience.
Details will change with time and the methods will improve
but tricks are always going to impress you and amaze you. In this respect, the
magical art carries a wider lesson for the technology obsessed people. No
matter how much advanced you get, it is through the primitive skills and
understanding of people perceptions, relations and visions that matters!
