Magic originated in the period of primitive culture, which started from the ideal of human beings to transcend themselves and the desire of human beings to conquer nature.
In the early days of mankind, natural phenomena such as the sun, the moon, fire, and rain were incomprehensible and could only be interpreted as mythological non-human forces. On the other hand, human beings are also looking forward to picking and finding abundant food, hoping for a good harvest, animal husbandry, fantasy in the mind naturally arise, such as Pangu opened up the sky and earth, Nuwa mending the sky, Quafu chasing the sun, and even planting a melon that melon, climbing a tree can ascend to the sky, can be resurrected after disintegration, and so on, this fantasy embodied in the ancients to sacrifice to the sky, praying for the New Year, such as the colorful color of the tourists and other habit of the letter of the activities, the embryonic magic was born! In ancient times, magic was called illusion. Magic as a performance has a history of at least two thousand years. With the progress of science and continuous development, and with the development of human civilization, the application of modern technical means, the content of the magic show is also increasingly rich, and more exquisite, magic can be in the 2,000 years of history, because he can give people spiritual satisfaction, stimulate people's imagination and improve thinking ability. However, the inheritance of magic has historical value. The historical value of magic is also reflected in the development of magic with the progress of social science and continuous reform and innovation, for example, the progress of our silk technology, so that our country as early as in the Han Dynasty, a large number of colorful tie magic show. The popularity of alchemy after the Wei and Jin Dynasties gave rise to a variety of chemical magic prototypes, and the emergence of ancient colored magic in the Song Dynasty. With the development of porcelain industry at that time, and gunpowder, the popularity of magnets and the emergence of magic in the pyrotechnic play, magnetic magic, and today's computers, the development of high-tech and the emergence of David into an airplane, through the Great Wall, move the goddess and a large number of lasers, robotic magic, magic carries the role of the milestones of the development of history. The development of science and technology in different periods has brought many revolutions to the magic itself and pushed forward the progress of magic.
The scientific value of magic
Magic is a comprehensive art, which is closely related to natural science, unlike other performing arts.
Magic can improve imagination and active brain thinking.
Magic is the crystallization of science, but also the precursor of science, for example, the famous scientist Watt, the invention of the steam engine was inspired by the boiling water against the lid of the kettle and invented. But Watt's interest in steam is from watching a magic show, a rubber tube filled with water vapor at the end of the tube head to put a ball, the ball away from the head of the tube feet away, but hanging and not fall, floating in the air, very magical, is the magic of magic inspired Watt's curiosity and curiosity for the future to become a big scientist to set the foundation.
Each magic contains certain scientific reasoning, and some programs are designed according to the scientific principles of the door, some of the structure of the door is the use of scientific and technological achievements provided by the facilitation of acoustics, chemistry, optics, mechanics, physics, electro-technology, radio technology, remote-control technology, mathematics, geometry, mechanics, and psychology, computers, logic, and so on are widely used in magic, and so on. High technology is widely used in magic props, illusions and performances. These scientific principles and technologies cannot be mechanically moved to the stage unchanged, and must be cleverly transformed and disguised to make it suitable for the requirements of magic, but not let the audience find traces, which requires performers to carry out creative labor and artistic processing. Magic show is not a science and technology exhibition, magic is different from science and technology, smart magicians design and perform programs, even after scientists also feel the magic of the mystery, I do not know why, this is art. For this reason, the heritage of magic has a very important value and significance to the development and utilization of science.
Three, the role of magic in strengthening the brain and body
Each magic program after the show, will leave people with many questions, strong curiosity to let you guess, thinking, entertainment, cultivate people's power of observation and thinking, stimulate people's desire for wisdom, and at the same time, the performance of magic forging people's divergent thinking and convergent thinking. Many magic performances need to be accomplished with the help of props. These props are developed in the magician's imagination. Because there is no ready-made, and the secrecy of the magic must do it yourself, for this reason, the magic to train people's hands, carpentry, pliers, welders, sewing, iron ramp, art, glass, in the production of props in the labor of the body to be trained.
Magic performances need to be practiced repeatedly for a long time, hand, eye, body, law and step, is a coordinated movement of the whole body, strong body, healthy body, foreign countries on the payoff try to use magic by the physical handicap and mental retardation of the crowd to cure the disease has received good results.

Both as performers and spectators, they can gradually improve their observation, analysis and understanding of things through this game, and develop the habit of loving, being sensitive to things, thinking hard, judging well, and learning by example, so that their bodies and minds will be well cultivated, and if the art form of magic is utilized in Secondary and Secondary schools and elementary school for targeted teaching, it will be helpful to stimulate children's interest in learning and deepen their memory of knowledge. If magic is developed into an auxiliary teaching tool for popularization of science education, good results will be achieved.
For example, the empty cup into water, the ball hanging in the air and so on is only a physical category of magic, beautiful snakes, the human body shrinking, etc. is the optical principle of magic, poker magic, there are a lot of mathematical and design, magic to do watertight, must be `pre-designed a certain performance procedures, based on the program to guide the audience, so the logic of the magic show shows the role of not small, magic show flash, smoke, water color change, spit fire, and so on, and so forth, and so forth.

Recently, due to the development of science and technology, there are many magic shows that utilize high technology. For example, David's escape, change the goddess and so on.
To this end, the children can play in the entertainment to get scientific enlightenment, master some of the relevant scientific reasoning, the development of life will play a relevant role in the future, such as the famous scientist Watt's story, the previous mentioned will not be repeated.
