Is the magic show also derived from traditional culture?

The magic show always has some shadow of the ancient theater, magic in ancient times most of the time exists with the religion and faith, for example, we found the earliest records about the magic show, is to survive in 1823, archaeologists in ancient Egypt found a precious manuscript, will be called is the Vikas manuscript.

This manuscript recorded that around 2600 BC, there was a magician named Dedi, and at that time, magic was not called called magic, more people called him illusion.

On one occasion he was summoned by Pharaoh, who asked him to perform a magic trick, and he performed his best trick show. He found a goose, cut off the goose's forehead, the goose without a head can still run around, after a while to catch the headless forehead, his head back to him, the result is miraculously the goose's head as if it had not been cut off intact.

The same trick, which Dedi performed again on the bull, was truly amazing. However, the Pharaoh next made a request that he perform the same trick on a prisoner, and experimenting on a human being was definitely out of the question, so he refused.

And a long time ago, most of these magic tricks were used by sorcerer-priests, who used these little tricks to make the common people believe in them more, as a way to gain themselves a higher status in religion, or to gather more followers for their religion.

At the end of the Middle Ages, Europe and other regions, their magicians seem to become the antithesis of religion, that time the rise of another kind of magic that is sorcery, witchcraft, witchcraft instead of magic in religious beliefs in the position, and even successfully exclude dissenters, so that magic has become? Black magic? Suddenly it began to be disliked by millions.

There were even many magicians who were arrested and had their heads chopped off as a result. Later, someone finally spoke up for the magicians and revealed the mystery of magic, which allowed people to have no prejudice against magic, so that magic again appeared in the streets and alleys, and even some of them even went into the theater.
