| Sawing pictures -
The famous magic trick of
sawing a woman in half is now performed on the streets of London.
It is much harder to perform magic next to the peering street crowd rather than on stage with complex mirror sets that hide the trick equipment from the audience. The trick of "sawing a woman in half" is said to go back to the ancient Egypt where magicians did it to the amuzement of the pharaohs and the elite.
The first publicly recorded performance of this trick was done by British magician P.T. Selbit in 1921.
