a scottish dollar paisley which is the namesake for the famous designer. one would think of magic we think of people like david couple feet or heavier dini who put on a spectacular modern magic essentially got its start in a small town in france thanks to one man. he paved the way to the kind of magic we know today and then the french town of la this a whole museum dedicated to your max reporter maggie traveled there on a discovery tour. these dragons are just one surprise awaiting visitors at the house of magic in france they're part of an entire museum dedicated to the part of conjuring. this place is a must for anyone fascinated with magic or optical from dragons margery

magic shows to a room filled with optical illusions this museum has been called a temple to the magic arts go inside and mind out for. inside the house of magic it's filled with allusions and nothing here is as it really seems. magicians like match you my lady are also on hand to engage visitors in a bit of fun and mystery with their tricks speed imprecision is key here. i tried to find out the secret to this common card trick but in the end i still had no idea of how it was done. out of the sheet. only so sheepishly. and i think we live in a society that is very rational ok magic is the last bastion of mystery and secrets

that exist and if you get a lot of people to hold on to some mystery that is absent in society. this man is widely considered the father of modern magic. he was born in the wire eighteen zero five and later moved to paris where he began his for reign magic by opening a theater his allusions soon became a hit with the public and the whole deal with. was a watchmaker and thanks to science he completely redesigned illusions but he primarily modified magic seems. cinema. before him there were sorcerers who tried to scare the audience he was beat that there were no down dressed in a farm suit he had piano accompaniment for his magic tricks. and he created the image of the gentleman magician. influenced countless

magicians after him the most famous of them was american illusionist harry houdini who even adopted and modified dan's name. magic of course is all about optical illusions and tricking the eye in here in the house of magic there is a whole room dedicated to this subject. unlike in other museums the house of magic invites visitors to interact with the exhibitions and go on a sort of magical mystery tour. there is also a magic show which takes place at least four times a day. thank you.

thank me. it's surprising and it forces us to cross-check things will get out of the show is a. pretty good combination of. the most recent trips there are a good. one is in the our valley it's also home to a viral chateau once the residents of french kings the town has around forty six thousand residents so it relies heavily on tourism to survive but do the visitors really learn anything about magic during their visits i think you get there well it . just. from looking at the illusion with the bottles and the euro bills inside it really impressed me because you see an empty bottle but then all of a sudden it's there with the money and you can see how the magicians really use optical illusions to trick us. examples of how magicians have tricked their audiences through the ages are located throughout the museum but visitors won't

find any answers as to how it done. so my visit to the house of magic is coming to an end i must honestly say i know none the wiser but it has picked my interest in magic until the next time it is barred from war. and the dragons roar on luring visitors into their mysterious world. just like magic age old letters from an empress have suddenly appeared that and more coming up in today's express. so one thousand letters sent to germany's last emperor victoria are on public display for the first time near berlin. the personal letters were discovered a few weeks ago in the new palace where they had been stored on noticed in a closet for over a century. members of the extended royal family wrote them to victoria between

even for a big studio. the developers of also draw inspiration from well known music videos and movies here vladimir putin wraps along the coast in similar style to despots. and the terminator seems to have had a russian grandmother. in. motion capture is used to film the movements this special suit has forty two markers to capture all the actors movements and gestures. two dozen cameras are used to create a full three d. picture. that makes it possible to reposition the resulting figures later. it's not unusual challenge for the actors. should or should it's kind of it's hugely different from being on stage in the theater you put on the suit and i wonder with the role for example the trumpets putting on a really rough voice. hey you. all. think

myself larger but my body more massive so basically this is the pure arts of acting . for. a dedicated expert oversees the facial gestures he uses his fingers to position the mouth and set the right expression at the end all the individual parts are put together for one scene i ran there about twenty five different cameras from different angles and. video editing their cuts the best way to show the action the show details the show the hall. the speedy rendering process is a huge advantage success in both t.v. and social media suggests a promising future for the satire with millions of facebook and you tube views. the show is broadcast on a range of channels around the world. you can also see it in russia to use russian language program. very close still on office here in berlin
