This volume explores illusionism as a much larger phenomenon than optical illusion, magic shows, or special effects, as a vital part of how we perceive, process, and shape the world in which we live. Considering different cultural practices characterized by illusionism, this book suggests a new approach to illusion via media theory. Each of the chapters analyses a specific kind of illusionistic practice and the concept of illusionism it entails in a given context, including philosophy, perception and cognitive theory, performance magic, occultism, optics, physiology, early cinema, cartomancy, spiritualism, architecture, shamanic rituals, and theoretical physics, to show the diversity of shapes that illusionism and illusions can take. The book provides detailed analyses of illusions within performance and ritual magic, philosophy, art history and psychology as well as a first approach to the study of illusions outside of these established fields. It aims to find ways of identifying and analysing a wider range of illusions in the humanities. This multidisciplinary and comprehensive volume will appeal to scholars and students with an interest in media and culture, theatre and performance, philosophy, sociology, politics and religion.

Drawing together a wealth of primary sources, J.A. Sokalski examines the aims, inventions, and methods of the pictorial style that defined MacKaye's art. Sokalski shows how MacKaye's famous Madison Square Theatre, which featured a double stage reminiscent of an elevator, created whirling pictorial illusions for fashionable New York. He argues that MacKaye's infamous failure, the colossal Spectatorium theatre for the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, was the most complete realization of this illusionary aesthetic. Sokalski also explores MacKaye's influence on Buffalo Bill Cody and how civil war cycloramas expanded his concept of pictorial space.

Eight Theatrical Stage Effects, Illusions & Presentations for Mentalists J C Sum details eight original illusions and stage routines for mentalism shows, complete with full presentations, full-colour illustrations and building plans. The routines offer an alternative fresh perspective of presenting mentalism. The mentalism effects also demonstrate how illusion methods and principles can be combined with mentalism methods to create unique stage routines. The book also explores how visual production value and scale can be a valuable addition to a traditional minimalist mentalism show. The routines were designed specifically for: Corporate & Special Events Cruises Theatre Showrooms Clubs Television Fashion Shows Who will benefit from this work? Mentalists looking to add scale and large-scale effects to their show Magicians interested in an alternative perspective & approach to presenting mental magic Illusionists looking to add variety and unique illusion presentations to their show Magicians new to both mentalism and illusions and are looking for interesting plots in magic Illusions and routines detailed in the book include: First impressions A large-scale visual opening prediction revelation that opens a show with a bang and establishes the nature of a mentalism show. Unseen Forces A three-phase telekinesis routine with a spoon, block of wood and wineglass. Shatter A secretly chosen wineglass from a number of glasses shatters upon concentration. Paycheck A stage routine that involves giving spectators a chance to win your paycheck for the show. As a kicker finale, the paycheck transforms into a large box full of money! Wedlock A light-hearted comedy mentalism routine that involves a spectator being shackled to you! Psychometric Touch A powerful climax for Fogel's signature routine. Jumbo Visible Deck Adding a Visual Element to the Invisible Deck Routine Fashion Statement A prediction routine involving a choice of the latest fashion apparels with a sealed prediction in a large isolated glass box that ends with a logical illusion kicker! Things to know: All the routines, except for "Fashion Statement," can be performed by the solo performer. Basic illusion knowledge is not necessary to understand the illusions in this book. However, illusion and illusion building knowledge is required if you intend to build some of the illusions yourself. If not, any illusion builder or stage prop maker will be able to build the illusions for you. Also included is the explanation to J C's "Developmental Force" that is a devious enhancement to the "Magician's Force" with playing cards or envelopes."

Illusionism has always been seen as a weaker form of magic, a school to be ridiculed rather than studied by most self-respecting mages. However, this tome shall reveal that illusionism is neither to be scoffed at nor to be trifled with. In fact, illusionism can be quite potent in the hands of those who delve into its deepest secrets. At its roots illusionism deals with the age-old conundrum of perception versus reality, and it is this mystery that an illusionist bends his mind towards understanding. Illusionism - Behind the Smoke and Mirrors will bring the enigma of illusion to the fore and perhaps provide a new perception of the magic that so many underestimate and ignore. There are, however, untraditional ways of using illusionism in such a manner that it becomes possible to create quasi-real things and effects that can affect even disbelievers. This area of study is known as unorthodox illusionism, but more can be done with shadows that most mages know or care to admit, a fact that we will delve into later in this book.

Perspective determines how we, as viewers, perceive painting. We can convince ourselves that a painting of a bowl of fruit or a man in a room appears to be real by the way these objects are rendered. Likewise, the trick of perspective can prevent us from being absorbed in a scene. Connecting contemporary critical theory with close readings of seventeenth-century Dutch visual culture, The Rhetoric of Perspective puts forth the claim that painting is a form of thinking and that perspective functions as the language of the image. Aided by a stunning full-color gallery, Hanneke Grootenboer proposes a new theory of perspective based on the phenomenological aspects of non-narrative still-life, trompe l'oeil, and anamorphic imagery. Drawing on playful and mesmerizing baroque images, Grootenboer characterizes what she calls their "sophisticated deceit," asserting that painting is more about visual representation than about its supposed objects. Offering an original theory of perspective's impact on pictorial representation, the act of looking, and the understanding of truth in painting, Grootenboer shows how these paintings both question the status of representation and explore the limits and credibility of perception. “An elegant and honourable synthesis.”—Keith Miller, Times Literary Supplement
