Bird Magic

bird magic

Bird magic is still done by a few magicians. It is really magical to see the use of an animal in an act that enhances the outcome or is the major feature of an act.

The use of birds in magic can be classically beautiful.

Unfortunately the use of live animals in acts is/ has decreased substantially. The last act i saw was a bird act from Darcy Oake on BGT.

And the last Vegas magician performing with wild animals (Dirk Arthur) has just unfortunately died (Oct 2023).

However, it is not (in my view) that animals are mistreated if the act is rehearsed properly and all animals are treated with respect. So, it is possible that magicians may once again start to use birds in their acts, when the World turns.

So, below is a list of virtual products that involve bird magic.

It could be a product devoted specifically to bird magic, or part of a product that involves bird magic.
