A Short History of Magic and Conjuring
Draoidheachd agus geasan:Eachdraidh Ghoirid
This exhibition shows a fascinating glimpse into the history of stage magic. It pays homage to the close-up conjuror whose illusions can include anything from sleight-of-hand card tricks to the swallowing of razor blades. Displayed here is a variety of theatre apparatus, old and new, used in the performance of these illusions, complimented by a collection of old and rare magic books, examples of the literature which has continued to inspire magicians and helped them develop new ways to entertain – and to deceive! Many of the pieces on show are selections from two private collections, spanning over a century of conjuring memorabilia.
