Stage illusions are large-scale magic tricks. As the name implies, stage illusions are distinct from all other types of magic in that they are performed a considerable distance away from the audience, usually on a stage, in order to maintain the illusion.〔Hopkins, Albert A. Magic: Stage Illusions, Special Effects and Trick Photography. Dover Publications. 1990.〕 Stage illusions usually use large props and may involve the use of assistants and/or large animals.〔Wilson, Mark. Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic. Running Press Kids. 2003.〕 As this form of magic performance is very common on television, most lay people (i.e., non-magicians) will report that this is the only form of magic with which they are familiar. In actuality, only a small percentage of professional magicians are stage illusionists. Most choose to specialize in close-up magic and perform in more intimate settings. Grand illusions are usually very costly and, due to their size, are difficult to ship, which would explain the paucity of professional stage illusionists. Examples of stage illusions include sawing a woman in half and Lady-to-Tiger. == Famous stage illusionists == *Criss Angel *Harry Blackstone, Sr. *Harry Blackstone, Jr. *Guy Bavli *Lance Burton *David Copperfield *John Daniel *Murray Hatfield *Doug Henning *Alexander Herrmann *Harry Houdini *Harry August Jansen *Jeff McBride *The Pendragons *Penn and Teller *Siegfried & Roy *Chung Ling Soo *P.
