The Illusionist
I'm interested in exploring the figure of the illusionist - a professional who is hired and paid to performs tricks, known to be an illusion. Another specific feature of this profession is the commitment to secrecy.
Famous illusionists
Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin, 1805-1871
From Wikipedia: "The Arabs of Algeria were said to be excited to rebel against French colonialists by miracles performed by their religious leaders.[citation needed] In 1856, Napoleon III's Second French Empire brought Robert-Houdin out of retirement to Algeria, hoping that he might perform tricks that were far more impressive, thereby dissolving the excitement of the rebels.[citation needed] Robert-Houdin's tricks, it is said, succeeded in breaking up the influence of the mullahs.[citation needed] Moreover, the Arabs became afraid of Robert-Houdin.[citation needed]"
