He was alsoknown to have entertained the slaves who built the pyramids. The“Cups and Balls” trick which he was particularly good at is stillperformed by magicians all over the world today.   The ancient Greeks and Romanswere also fascinated by the idea of magic. Actually, one of theirmain interests was the art of deception. This explains why at thattime the priests even built magic devices into their temples. Thesedevices made it possible for doors to open by themselves and wine toflow magically out of statues’ mouths. This was done mainly toconvince people that the priests were powerful.   Magic, however, was not wellaccepted before the 1800s. Magicians were thought of as freaks andwere only allowed to perform in a circus. It was in the 19thcentury that the magician Robert Houdin came along and changedpeople’s views and attitudes about magic. It was also because ofRobert Houdin that many magicians were able to add Dr. or MD to theirnames. Today magicians try hard to find new ways to show theirpracticed skills. Magic is now entertainment for families all overthe world.
