The common methods of human body floating magic include using hidden supports or devices, such as transparent wires or hidden metal brackets, to support the actor's body parts. Actors hide their support by controlling their body posture and center of gravity, giving people the illusion of floating. Another method is to use magnetic levitation technology to make the actor's body part suspended in the air through the principle of magnetic force.
No matter which method is used, the key is to make the audience deceive visually through clever operation and cover-up. The magician's skills, lighting and stage effects also played an important auxiliary role, which enhanced the fidelity of the floating effect. In human body floating magic, most magicians use light and shadow effect to cover some organs or use the visual imaging principle of human eyes to create a visual illusion.
The performance form of magic
Magic is a comprehensive stage art, and the perfect presentation of magic is the result of the magician accurately manipulating the scene and controlling people's psychology. Magicians often use the principles of distraction, lighting effect and human illusion to produce stage effects, thus presenting an exquisite magic performance for the audience.
Magic relies on the flexible application of physical and chemical scientific principles such as light, sound, electricity and psychology, and cooperates with peculiar artistic ideas to produce various grotesque and ingenious performance images. Magic appeared in China's "Hundred Dramas" more than 2,000 years ago or even earlier in the Han Dynasty, and it was especially developed as a performance skill in the Tang and Song Dynasties. At the same time, it began to spread all over the world and influenced the development of magic.
