Research - Magic

Magic, is one of the 4 starting points. I recognized it is a wide-range topic for doing the research. At the first, I have done a brainstorm on "Magic",  found some information from internet that may relevant to the topic. Then, pictures/photographs are really helpful to understand the topic "Magic". Also, A few short videos are discovered the history of magic in supernatural and modern  illusion magic in depth.

The brainstorm has explored points include 'Illusion magic' and 'Supernatural Magic'. Also 'religions' are important to understand the opinions in Western and Eastern ancient world. 'Supernatural phenomenons' are the phenomenons that have not been solved by humanity. 

Magic (Supernatural):

The definition of supernatural magic is, the power to use supernayural forces to make impossible things happen.
Of coruse, this kind of 'magic' always appears in fictions stories or movies. No one can confirm that supernatural magic is exist or imaginary in reality. For example, Anachrony (space-time problem), people missing and loudly mysterious sound. Also crop circles are deemed made by supernatural power, even extra-terrestrial (Alien).
​Generally, we sort supernatural magic as 'white magic' and 'black magic'. the former mostly for selfless purposes such as to heal some one. The latter mostly for evil and selfish purposes, for instant, to murder or steal.

​Magic (illusion)

The definition of illusion magic, is a performing art in which audiences are entertained by staged tricks or illusions of seemingly impossible feats using natural means.
In other words, illusion magic is exist in reality and it is a kind of 'artificial miracle' that makes by speedy techniques.
I have discovered the history of illusion magic. Although the origin is unknown, the earliest evidence was found in Egypt. A magic trick called "Cups and Balls", usually performing by artists who hired for royal families.
This kind of performance was banned by churches, the controller of rights on Europe in Middle Ages. It is commonly believed, illusion magic tricks were launch by black magic in that period.
It became popular from mid 20th century, carry forwarded by Harry Houdini, a famous American magician.
