procedure

A complete "program" of an actor; A "play" usually refers to a performance of less than 30 minutes, and is usually part of a longer "performance".

A play also refers to a specific program in an evening performance (such as an elf house, a play or a play floating in the air).

device

Any object seen by the audience, after special treatment, creates a magical "effect". This term does not depend on the size of the object; A copper coin changer and a lion's bride are all utensils and effects. Whether it is an "appliance" is not classified by the audience's cognition; Although the matchbox may not look like a magician's "tool", it will be regarded as a "tool" if it is secretly modified for the purpose of "effect".

affect

In magic, "effect" refers to a kind of "trick" or "illusion"; It is also a summary of what happened from what the audience saw. In the narration and teaching of magic literature, it is often divided into two parts; For example, the "effect" is what the audience sees-and the "method" is the step to bring out the "effect".

Quasi-tool

A device used to create a magic "effect" that the audience can see but don't know; Such as a mirror in a "thumb sleeve" and a "mirror cup".

evening show/performance

This term is used to refer to the whole stage performance in a theater, which usually lasts at least two hours. Most famous magicians in the early 20th century-"Keira", "Shaston", "Blackstone" and others-mainly performed such programs.

Hide tool

A device that will never be seen by the audience makes it possible to complete an "effect". For example, the "coil" is a "hidden tool".

Moreover, more broadly speaking, in the entertainment circle, an actor can be identified by his personal characteristics or unique appearance (such as the bald head of Terry Shawala), or the appearance of an entertainment product makes this product different and perhaps more attractive.

magic

Although all magic shows can be said to be composed of magic, in the professional field, the word "magic" itself has its specific meaning; It almost always refers to magical "effects" related to people or large animals.

handicrafts

A single "craft" skill. In gambler's words, it is to cheat gambling by cunning means.

An indispensable object when performing the "effect". There is often a difference between a "prop" (when not ready) and an "appliance" (when ready); For example, the "Duverneau Uprising" used in the performance "Duverneau Uprising" is a kind of "tool", but the normal glass for "Duverneau Uprising" is a kind of "prop".

procedure

Performing a series of "effects" with the same "prop"; For example, "Ambition Poker" or "October Cash Box" is a "program". Moreover, many individual "effects" are combined into a series of effective functions and become a set of "dramas"

beautiful

A performance or theatrical performance.

skill

Any measure or action realized with both hands will have a magical "effect"; This term means that a deception technique is used on an ordinary object, but this is not always the case. Of course, the action defined by this term is completely different from manipulating a magical "tool" with both hands during performance.

This term should not be confused with those who directly show "fantasy" with skilled hand movements.

technology

A "skill" (or a series of skills), together with other performance skills, produces a magical "effect".

acrobatics

"Trick" is a term used by the general public to briefly describe a kind of magic skill performance; Magicians rarely use the word "trick" in this sense. They prefer the word "effect".

Unfortunately, the popular term "trick" implies deception, blackmail and harmful deception-and it also focuses on the emergence of puzzles in magical skills, which hurts real magical entertainment.
