Parlour Magic History
Parlour magic or platform magic as it is sometimes called was very popular in Victorian times when the wealthy could afford to hire great entertainers to come into their homes and entertain guests in the parlour.
Parlour magic is a more intimate show designed for a smaller audience and is a fusion of close up magic and stage magic.
It seems like a different world to what we know now, but back then people couldn't just press a remote control for entertainment. Modern life is so fast paced that family interaction has dwindled and family gatherings are less common. Parlour magic is a great way of rekindling those social gatherings.
