This form of magic began as entertainment. The Romans also have evidence of magic being used for entertainment purposes. Later magic was viewed as black magic, voodoo and sorcery. It received a bad name. Anyone who participated in magic was deemed a witch and branded evil. Magic went underground for a while. It resurfaced in the 19th century and greats like Houdini were able to flourish and travel the world using magic as a tool to bring people together.
