"The History of Magic as a Form of Entertainment in the U.S/UK"
Nice title, huh?
That's the title of what I want to write for an English certification. Basically I need to write a fairly long and fairly complex essay on this subject. My question to you, oh all-knowing comunity, is *where can I find information on this subject*? My work should be about ~20 pages long, so I need plenty of information. I would like to cover some general history of how magic appeared in the U.S./UK ( my work should be about U.S. OR UK, not both ) in the beginning and then talk about some influential magicians that lived in either U.S. or UK. I'm open to advice on my contents though. I chose this subject because it is of high interest for me, so I am eager to find out as much information on this subject as I can
I'm counting on you guys to help me with this one.
I would also like to perform some "tricks" to the two teachers I'm going to present my work to. Up until now I only thought to do the "chain of handkerchiefs from mouth" ( I don't know the real name ) somewhere through the presentation. My interest as a performer is in doing mentalism, so I have little to no knowledge about this type of tricks. Any advice on where can I find information on how to perform the effect?
For who is really interested in helping me, I really am open to any kind of advice.
Thank you so much in advance !
EDIT: If anyone knows if this type of work has been done before, please point me to it. I won't copy-paste it in a copy of Microsoft Word pirated from the internet, but it would serve as a wonderful source of inspiration and *how it should look*.
