    In India, where street magic is very alive, a family
    of street magicians take center stage. The tricks
    performed are of an exceptionally bloody nature; in
    one trick, a tongue is cut out; in another, a stage
    knife, oozing blood, is stuck in the neck of a child.

    . There is very little documentation about street
    magic until the  s, where some groundbreaking
    books were published which led to the creation of the
    modern day street magician and began a career of a
    young individual called David Blaine.
    £.If you ask a true street magician or the most important
    skill is in his profession, he will tell you it has nothing to
    do with the skill of the tricks but more to do with the skill
    of keeping a crowd entertained and making them want to
    give you money.
    º. The style of magic commonly performed by David Blaine
    is not in fact street magic, but in fact guerrilla magic. Guerrilla
    magic is seen as a new twist on street magic whereby the
    participants are surprised to be involved. Anyone watching
    one of David Blaine TV series will be able to verify that the
    participants are certainly surprised to be involved in most
    cases.
    Ñ. One of the most famous and original street magicians
    is a New Yorker called Jeff Sheridan. His
    groundbreaking work titled 'Street magic, an illustrated
    history of wandering magicians and their conjuring
    arts'.
