Even in ancient times, magicians were known who traveled, showed incredible things and earned their living from this. Their abilities seemed magical, but behind each miracle there was only a well-thought-out trick, practiced to the point of automaticity. IN present time It’s unlikely that you can make anyone believe in magic, but the geniuses listed below have always succeeded. We present the ranking of the top 10 most gifted and famous illusionists in history.

All his life he was engaged in inventing various tricks and numbers, and it was he who was the first of the illusionists to begin to pronounce the sacred “Sim-Sala-Bim”. He was known under the pseudonym Dante and passed away in 1955 in California. Many agreed that the “Golden Age of Tricks” was over.
8. Harry Blackstone Sr.
He lived and practiced illusion magic at the same time as Jansen. He was born in Chicago and found, although already in old age, action of the Second World War. Harry is remembered for performing magic tricks on this difficult period in front of the soldiers, wanting to distract them from the unpleasant things going on around them. He died twenty years after the end of the war and his son, following in his father’s footsteps, also took up magic.
7. Cyril Takayama

In addition, he is also a record holder in various standards. David holds the official record - 17 minutes 3 seconds under water and without air.
4. Ning Kai
A girl from Singapore whose favorite thing to watch as a child was watching videotaped performances of David Copperfield. This led her to a career as an illusionist, as well as the idea that girls constantly act only as assistants, and Ning always did not like this. She took a guy as her assistant and in 2009, as a duet, they set a record - they recreated 15 incredibly complex illusions in just 5 minutes.
3. Criss Angel
In third place on the list is a rather multifaceted personality - Criss Angel. The guy is not only a great magician, but also a stuntman, performer and even a hypnotist. As a child, his aunt showed him a trick with cards, and from there Chris began his path to great achievements. He repeatedly surprised with his tricks with levitation and walking on water.
2. David Copperfield

During his long career, he constantly performed and achieved that he was included in the Guinness Book of Records eleven times.
1.Harry Houdini
Eric Weiss was a simple guy until he decided to follow the example of the French magician Robert Gooden. He called himself Houdini and, together with his brother, traveled the world, demonstrating incredible skills in freeing himself from various shackles and traps. Repeatedly hospitalized, Houdini undoubtedly became the best illusionist in the world, which only reinforced his mysterious death, the circumstances of which no one knows.
The greatest illusionist in history, Houdini, whose career began at the dawn of cinema, turned his craft into a large-scale show and became the first transatlantic celebrity.

Eric Weiss (real name) showed his talent as a magician in early childhood. Six-year-old Eric was already showing card tricks to his family and neighbors, and from the age of ten he made money doing this in various establishments. And at the same time he sold newspapers and shined shoes on the streets - his family, Jewish emigrants from Budapest, was poor. By the age of 18, having changed his name to Harry (derived from Eric) Houdini (in honor of the famous illusionist Robert Houdin), the young man began to make professional career. Together with his brother Theo, Houdini, who through long training had turned his body into plasticine, demonstrated miracles of flexibility - placed in a small box, he got out of there in a few seconds. The joint family enterprise did not last long: in 1894, twenty-year-old Harry met Bess Runner and married her three weeks after the first meeting. After which he made her his assistant, instead of his brother. Release tricks had already become Houdini's signature style; gradually their scale and complexity grew, despite the fact that their dramaturgy and techniques were common. Handcuffed (or tied up) illusionist for maximum a short time unraveled by being hung by the feet, thrown into a river, buried alive in a coffin or steam engine. In addition to magic tricks, Harry Houdini made films for which he wrote the scripts himself; wrote books, including exposing his colleagues. He also greatly spoiled the lives of magicians, mystics and assorted sorcerers, leading them to clean water, exposing directly at sessions where he appeared incognito. Houdini was a real pop star of his time, which was his undoing. One day, before his next performance, several young people came into his dressing room. One of them asked whether the famous magician could really take any blow. Before the illusionist had time to answer, the young man hit Houdini in the stomach. This caused a rupture of the appendix, which, in the absence of antibiotics in those years, turned out to be fatal. In October 1926, Harry Houdini passed away. The great artist was buried in the same coffin in which he was lowered bound into the water. This time Houdini failed to get out.
An opponent of Houdini, Vernon remained in history as the man who confused the legend of the genre: Houdini could not understand how his younger colleague did a trick called The Ambitious Card. The maestro, who publicly stated that he could figure out any trick in three viewings, watched The Ambitious Card eight times in a row and capitulated, unable to understand how Vernon did it. Victory like others professional achievements, did not spoil Dai Vernon: looking like a university professor of the old school, an honored illusionist who trained more than one generation of magicians, behaved modestly, was not arrogant and did not demand respect. The only one Vernon couldn't help but say something bad about was Harry Houdini. Why is unknown.
Unlike Harry Houdini, Uri Geller built a career on flirting with mysticism and the supernatural. And even his signature trick - deforming spoons with the help of “simple” stroking - Geller presented as an incredible miracle. He stopped the clock, and, in fact, went down in history as the man who made time freeze on the clock of London's Big Ben. Colleagues treated Geller with doubts and regularly accused him of fraud - including regarding the trick with Big Ben (there is no video evidence that the clock actually stood up; there are only the words of the magician himself and several witnesses). All this did not interfere with the career of Uri Geller, who became a celebrity thanks to his television show. In addition to magic tricks and television, he wrote and is writing books, and acts in films. The peak of his popularity has long passed, but Geller is not too worried about this - he works as a judge in the “Battle of Psychics”, and several years ago he calmly admitted that he himself was tired of the fuss around his paranormal talents, and all he needed was “to be a pop illusionist." This is true.
An illusionist whose tricks are real big-budget blockbusters, a large-scale show performed by a large team of assistants. Copperfield is the equivalent of Steven Spielberg: rich, artistic, with an idea and convincing drama. He walked through the Great Wall of China, “stole” a plane and the Statue of Liberty, climbed out of flames, and jumped into Niagara Falls. Copperfield gives more than three hundred concerts annually, and has a venue assigned to him in one of the Vegas casinos; the magician actively uses modern technologies in his work, preferring complex staged stunts. However, like a true professional, he does not disdain modest sketches. During non-working hours, he relaxes, spending time, money and nerves on women. Copperfield dated Claudia Schiffer, and, in addition, several times found himself at the center of scandals due to accusations of harassment.
Burton is the variety version of David Copperfield. It’s just as rich and artistic, only, unlike Copperfield, everything is done live, not on camera, but in front of an audience. Burton worked in Vegas for 13 years, where a separate building was specially built for him. Over the years spent in Vegas, the illusionist earned more than $100 million.
Magic or illusion? Miracles or sleight of hand? Since childhood, we have all been interested in watching various tricks and magicians performing them. This post will remind someone, and introduce someone to the greatest virtuosos of illusions in the history of mankind.
One of the first magicians was the French physicist Nicolas-Philippe Ledru (1731-1807), who performed under the pseudonym Comus. Ledru was a demonstrative physicist, since he built his illusions on a scientific basis. Comeau took his pseudonym in honor greek god festivities and feasts of Coma. Ledru became famous for his light and sound illusions, magnetic and electrical effects. Already at that time, the public was shown a female robot with the face of an alien, who took on the color of the pupils of a person looking at her. She was able to carry out simple commands, and the artificial arm was capable of recording thoughts. This miracle robot simultaneously delighted and terrified the royal court of Louis XVI. Nicolas did a lot of useful things for science, enriching it new system for nautical charts and the possibility of curing epilepsy with electricity. Interestingly, his pseudonym became so popular that in France at the beginning of the 19th century. The magician Comus II worked successfully. The next famous illusionist is Alessandro Cagliostro (1743-1795). His real name is Joseph Balsamo. Having lost his parents at an early age, he became addicted to fraud as a child. He was raised by his maternal aunt Vincenza Cagliostro, and after her death the young man appropriated an interesting surname, and at the same time the title of count. He began his path to the heights of optical deception by selling fake treasure maps and various miracle potions.
With the help of illusion, he turned a small diamond into a weighty stone, could veil chips and cracks, and gild an ordinary Rusty Nail and make the rough material into satin silk. Count Cagliostro claimed that he knew the secret of the philosopher's stone, and managed to convince the public that it was 300 years old. Cagliostro also visited Russia and allegedly tripled Potemkin’s gold reserves. The Count conducted magical sessions, inventing an elixir of immortality. The scandals associated with his experiments reached Catherine. The dissatisfied empress ordered Cagliostro to be expelled from the country. However, mystically, at four different border posts, the documentation contained the count’s signature. But there was no reassurance for him in other countries either. His mysterious activities were associated with various political adventures. He ended his life in Italy, imprisoned on charges of charlatanism.
The story of this adventurer and illusionist is so full of adventures that it is reflected in both literature and cinema; just remember our legendary film “Formula of Love”. Italian illusionist Giuseppe Pinetti brought the art of illusion to the theatrical stage. The magician's performances were distinguished by a refined ambience and splendor, which made it possible to raise the art to a new level of spectatorship. In London in 1784, Pinetti demonstrated the possibility of a “third” eye: he read closed books and recognized objects in boxes. These performances were a huge success, and Pinetti was invited to Windsor Castle to the court of George III. The show was a brilliant success; dozens of exotic animals, assistants, mirrors and complex mechanisms took part in it. He then toured in Germany, Portugal and Russia. In his tricks, the illusionist used knowledge of physics, chemistry, mathematics, mechanics and medicine. One of his most famous tricks is the swallow trick. Pinetti took the bird out of the cage; it died in his arms. Then he gave one of the spectators to hold the swallow and asked her to breathe on the body. And, miraculously, the swallow came to life! The whole point is that the illusionist imperceptibly pressed on the bird’s carotid artery and temporarily deprived it of consciousness.
Having achieved fame and fame, Pinetti became very capricious and spoiled. He could afford to be late to the court of Emperor Paul and inexplicably change the time on his watch. Arriving at the court, the illusionist was a full hour late for his 7-hour performance, this caused indignation among all the courtiers. What a surprise they were when Pinetti entered and announced that it was not 8, but only 7 o’clock. The watches of those present miraculously moved back. But after the end of the magician's performance they began to show him again right time. The activities of the Italian Giovanni Bartolomeo Bosco (1793-1863) are no less shrouded in legends. His “revivals” of killed birds captured the imagination of the crowd and weakened people’s vigilance. Cutting off the heads of a white and black dove, he seemed to deliberately rearrange them and, noticing a mistake, correct it. The birds came to life. This was regarded as a real miracle and witchcraft. Spectators were attracted by Bosco's tricks with coins, playing cards, scarves and balls.
Comparing himself with Mephistopheles, he imitated him in appearance and manner of dressing. The virtuoso of illusions was looking for adventures and adventures. During the Napoleonic campaign against Russia, having accidentally found himself in the French army, he continued to entertain the soldiers, quietly emptying their pockets. Having been captured, he did not despair in the harsh conditions of the Siberian frosts, but, on the contrary, only improved his tricks, thereby managing to conquer Russian hearts. Returning to Italy, Bosco became a regular at rich salons, where he was invited to surprise the public.
David Werner (1894-1992) "The Professor" and teacher of most of today's magicians and illusionists was born on June 11, 1894. His contribution to the development modern world illusions are difficult to overestimate. But his main achievement in life is considered to be his victory over Gary Houdini himself, who was never able to solve Werner’s “Ambitious Cards” trick. Werner, probably the best card magician in history, continued to improve his skills until last days own life. He worked under the pseudonym Dai Vernon, which he acquired as a result of a banal typo in a newspaper. He was the first to discover micromagic. Modest and charming by nature, he knew how to win people over and taught many the art of illusion. He lived a long and exciting life and died on August 21, 1992 at the ripe old age of 98.
Mystery permeates the entire life of the talented and unpredictable Harry Houdini (1874-1926). Real name - Eric Weiss, was born into a poor family and learned street “professions” from childhood. Traveling circus performers and magicians fascinated the child. So he became carried away by the illusion. At the age of 18, he turned into Houdini, changing the surname of the magician Houdin, and borrowing the name from Kellar Harry. But Houdini gained worldwide fame not because of card tricks, but because of his excellent physical fitness- he performed a huge number of tricks, most of which are relevant and attractive to viewers in our time. Houdini performed tricks in which he was chained and thrown from a bridge, buried underground in a wooden box, without any supply of air, and the illusionist emerged from these difficult situations with a smile on his face. He was imprisoned in the most reliable prisons and cells in the world, but literally in a matter of minutes he got out of captivity, bound and lowered into vessels completely occupied with water upside down, where he had a maximum of 2-3 minutes to save himself from death.
Release tricks were central to his program, and wherever he toured, they attracted huge audiences. He was also interested in cinema and aviation. He was the first to fly over Australia. IN last decade During his career, Houdini published a number of books that revealed the secrets of his skill. He was seriously concerned that, under the influence of spiritualism, which was popular in those years, many illusionists began to disguise their tricks with the appearance of communication with otherworldly forces. Accompanied by a constable dressed in civilian clothes, Houdini began to attend seances incognito in order to expose charlatans, and was noticeably successful in this.
One day, while on tour in Montreal, Harry was relaxing in his dressing room when three students walked in, one of whom was a college boxing champion. He asked Mr. Houdini if he could really take several hard blows to the stomach without feeling anything. Houdini, lost in thought, nodded, and the student unexpectedly dealt the artist two or three blows. Houdini barely stopped him: “Wait, I need to get ready,” after which he tensed his abs: “Here, now you can hit.” The student hit him a couple of times and felt the maestro’s iron abdominal press on himself. When the students left, Houdini only rubbed the place that had been bruised from the first unexpected blows. For several days he, as always, did not pay attention to the pain, but these blows provoked a rupture of the appendix, as a result of which peritonitis developed. In 1926, there were no antibiotics, and survival was possible only by miracle, but Houdini amazed everyone again! The fans rejoiced - here he is Houdini, the conqueror of death, who does not obey earthly laws. However, nine days later, on October 31, 1926, on the eve of Halloween, Harry Houdini died. Many years have passed since his death, but the Houdini phenomenon has not been fully studied to this day.
Soviet illusionists
Kio is already a whole dynasty. Its founder was Emil Teodorovich Girshfeld-Renard (1894-1965). At the beginning of his career, he worked at the Moscow Theater of Miniatures, and later became interested in the circus. A wide variety of jokes circulated around his name. The artist himself even offered to decipher it with humor. There are such versions as one letter dropped from the word “cinema”, KIO - “Kiev Famous Deceiver”, “How Interesting to Deceive”, “Sorcerer from Ossetia”. The manner of performing the trick was easy, relaxed, everything turned into a simple joke.
The book “Tricks and Magicians” by Emil Teodorovich is useful guide artists of this genre. The children continued their father's work. Since 1992, Emil Emilievich has been working for six months in Japan, where he has his own audience, and in Russia for six months. Igor worked in the state circus for 30 years, he had a short affair with Galina Brezhneva.
On September 16, 1956, our world first met David Seth Kotkin, known to us as David Copperfield. His parents were Jews, while his grandparents emigrated from the USSR. David has had a phenomenal memory since childhood; he first repeated the trick shown to him at the age of 4. He started with card tricks and gradually developed his skills in the difficult business of illusion and magic.
David began his career at the age of 12, when he gained recognition in the community of American illusionists, and at the age of 16 he was already teaching a “magic course” at New York University. He has been awarded 21 Emmy Awards and has also been known as "Wizard of the Century" and "Wizard of the Millennium". Copperfield is famous for many stunts, such as “Passing through the Great Wall of China”, “Disappearing of the Statue of Liberty”, “Escape from the burning raft at Niagara Falls” and many others.
In New York, David Copperfield opened a cafe named after him. There are no waiters there. A voice from the darkness asks what the visitors will eat, then what they ordered seems to materialize on the tables out of thin air.

The art of illusion dates back to ancient times, when techniques and techniques for manipulating people’s consciousness began to be used not only to control them, but also for entertainment. The word illusion itself comes from French word"illusionner" means "to mislead." Below is a list of the ten best illusionists in the world.
