Essential Question
Magic has always been a favorite topic of mine. When I was little (around 2005), I had the pleasure of seeing David Copperfield performing live here in Miami. Approximately two years ago, on a rainy April afternoon, I decided to search the web to learn myself some magic tricks, so I could show my friends a couple of them. Over that coming summer, those couple of magic tricks changed to sleights and illusions, and my knowledge kept increasing, until I started performing for friends every day. Although my interest has kind of dulled the last couple of weeks, I still perform several tricks for anyone that asks.
Magic is a broad topic, going from the theatrical performance people associate it with today to religious rituals thousands of years ago. The question that will drive the research of this topic is this, how has magic changed throughout history to the way we see it today? Today we see it as a form of entertainment, what about hundreds of years ago? What about thousands of years ago?
