EDITORS COMMENTS
(Nothing in my hands, nothing in my pockets I'm not deceiving you) - this caption accompanies an undated illustration of a magician performing the classic cup and balls trick to a small, intrigued crowd in a Parisian street scene. The magician, dressed in the elegant attire of the late 19th century, skillfully manipulates the cups and balls with a confident air, while the onlookers lean in, captivated by the illusion. The cup and balls trick is one of the oldest known magic tricks, with its origins dating back to ancient Egypt and Rome. The basic premise involves the magician placing balls under one or more cups, shuffling them around, and then seemingly making the balls disappear and reappear in different cups. The trick relies on sleight of hand and misdirection to deceive the audience. This historical illustration, entitled "Magician performing the cup and balls trick to a small crowd" and housed in the HPG/8/2/1 (xi) collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the essence of street magic and the wonder it brings to audiences. The magician's expression is one of concentration and focus, while the onlookers' faces are filled with curiosity and delight. The table and small cups add to the intimate setting, making the trick feel all the more magical and up close. The cup and balls trick has stood the test of time, continuing to captivate audiences with its simple yet effective illusion. This illustration serves as a reminder of the rich history of magic and the enduring appeal of a good trick.
