In this video, you will get an overview of the history of magic and magicians. In 10 minutes I will tell you about the most important moments in the history of this unique performing art.
Disclaimer: this video is NOT about supernatural, or magic in fiction. It is only about magic as a performing art, i.e. performances done with the main purpose of entertainment.
