- **Event Description**: How Magicians Use Mirrors in Creating Magic with Danny Schreiber, Professor DR Schreiber, The Historical Conjurer 

In the 19th century, magic was changing as fast as the development of technology and industry.  There was one particular innovation that created a completely new type of magic.  It was the glass mirror.  We’ve heard the term “smoke & mirrors” as a way to describe deception, but it wasn’t until the late 19th century that mirrors were commonly used in magic.  As the Victorians improved the glass making process which led to the creation of larger and clearer mirrors, magicians were then able to create some of the most popular modern illusions.

In this talk, Professor DR Schreiber, The Historical Conjurer (aka. Danny Schreiber) will talk about the history of the science and technology that went into these early creations, the magicians and showmen who demonstrated these illusions. and how they are used today. He will examine the process these early magic innovators took to achieve these mysteries of the modern age, as well the individuals and institutions that helped make this magic possible.
