You know them: they wear tuxedoes, top hats, swishing satin capes, and fine white gloves. They flourish black batons with white tips and brandish decks of cards, metal rings, rubber balls, paper cups, and silk handkerchiefs. Their favorite words are "Abracadabra", "Hocus Pocus", "Presto (change-o)", "Voila", "Now you see it—now you don't" and "Alakazam!" Using their nimble fingers, hidden devices, and deliberate misdirection, they can Pull a Rabbit out of My Hat, pull a dove from their sleeve, Saw a Woman in Half, and hypnotize hapless audience members or even make them disappear! Sometimes they're also Escape Artists, able to get out of handcuffs and straitjackets and still find out what your card was. Some of them solve crimes in their spare time. And maybe, just maybe, some of them can do real magic. Or, conversely, they simply use their stage tricks to fake it. A magician never tells, but then that's all part of the mystique. Almost Always Male — at least, the person whose name is on the marquee. However, the assistants (almost Always Female) are also trained professionals, and the usually female Fortune Teller could be considered a stage magician's Distaff Counterpart. Woe betides anyone who tries to Rummage Fail through their possessions. A skilled one will usually perform tricks that are impossible in real life, which is handwaved by simply saying a magician never reveals his secret. If it’s a matter of Animal Occupation Stereotypes, we may meet a Rabbit Magician. Of course, real illusionists usually don't fit any of the stereotypes listed above, but since the magic community is, by nature, sorta close-knit, this is far from being a Discredited Trope. See the Hocus Tropus index for the many tropes surrounding Stage Magic. |

Genshin Impact: The Fontaine Archon Quest introduces Lyney, an up-and-coming stage magician who's already made quite a name for himself in Fontaine, with his twin sister Lynette acting as his Lovely Assistant. While the twins both have real magic in the form of their Visions, their performance at the Opera Epiclese opens with both setting their Visions aside, making it clear that the Impossibly Awesome Magic Tricks being performed are simply clever sleight of hand and carefully hidden props. Years prior to the game's events, the two were Street Urchins who used their magic tricks to earn enough Mora to survive and kept their skills sharp even after being adopted by "Father" (actually the Fatui Harbinger Arlecchino). | |

CSI: NY: "Sleight Out Of Hand" guest-starred real-life magician Criss Angel as in-universe magician Luke Blade, who fancied himself the next Houdini but who snapped and began killing people in variations of his own stunts. He cut his first victim in half with a garden-variety hand saw...while she was still alive. The team purchases a magic kit as part of their investigation; Mac uses it to turn a handkerchief into a rose in front of Stella and Danny, but never reveals to them how it's done. | |

Fictional magicians have also appeared, most notably Gunter and Ernst, expies for Seigfreid and Roy (who wound up getting mauled by a tiger in the show before it happened to the real-life duo). Both Bart and Lisa have also pursued magic as a hobby. | |

One of Kirby's powers in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror and Kirby: Squeak Squad. His moves include releasing doves, card-throwing, and releasing a jack-in-the-box. Aside from Kirby himself, there's also the third boss in Kirby's Epic Yarn, a pumpkin-headed magician named Squashini who uses a slot machine to choose which trick he'll attack you with, ranging from a Shell Game with top hats, to tying Kirby to a bomb he has to escape. | |

The Weasley Twins in Harry Potter have shades of this, using their magical ability to develop tricks for pranksters, being grade-A pranksters themselves. In one book, they use this trope as a cover to impress a local village girl, who thinks that their tricks are "almost like real magic". They actually open their own joke shop later on in the series. The Marauders, their inspiration, may have also been like this. Funnily enough, their joke shop also does steady, if not exactly booming, business in selling Muggle stage magic props to wizards. There's also a popular fan theory that Harry's maternal grandparents were stage magicians, thus explaining their enthusiasm regarding Lily being a witch. |

Occasionally Sesame Street would feature The Amazing Mumford, for whom Grover was always eager to be the audience volunteer. Sometimes Mumford's tricks would have an educational bent (for example, when he subtracted pineapples), sometimes they were just gags. On one occasion Grover came to watch, but there was no show—Mumford was just practicing. Mumford didn't get the trick right, but Grover did get a hop and a skip for his exit. | |

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone features three generations of stage magicians: the classic top hat and tails type, Rance Holloway; the Siegfried and Roy-inspired duo of Burt Wonderstone and Anton Marvelton (with elements of David Copperfield thrown in); and the more modern, David Blaine/Criss Angel-based street magician Steve Gray. Rance is seen to be a benevolent mentor to Burt and Anton, while Steve is considered a threat to the pair's more traditional stage magic. David Copperfield himself cameos in the film. | |

Pokémon: Jirachi: Wish Maker: Butler, the Big Bad of the film, is a professional, traveling stage magician who, along with his assistant Diane, puts on an excellent performance for Ash and friends. However, Butler was a former Team Magma scientist who was fired when his machine to clone Groudon from fossilized remains ended in complete failure. As a result, Butler is using the traveling magic show as a front to find Jirachi, a wish-granting Pokémon that theoretically could achieve what his machine had failed. | |

Lemmy Koopa in Paper Mario: Color Splash. His magic wand can produce genuine magic, but for the stuff his wand cannot do, he's crafted sleight-of-hand tricks to compensate. As he is an illusionist and Mario fights using a deck of cards in this game, Lemmy is the only major boss able to directly influence and manipulate Mario's cards, aside from Roy's orange paint attack when the latter uses his Paint Launcher. | |

Michael Carbonaro of The Carbonaro Effect is a sleight-of-hand artist with a twist — instead of being on stage, he performs his tricks while in disguise on the streets or in various businesses and pretends to be as shocked and confused by his own antics as the people he deals with. It's when they're on the verge of losing their minds that he finally reveals himself. | |

A Dragon article about adding magic to Alternity included sleight of hand as one option, with the note that in high-tech settings like Star*Drive, misdirection and illusion could be really convincing. A sample adventure involves a stage magician on an interstellar cruise ship, who is killed by one of his own illusions. | |

The Consul has the Magician, "the one and only Nika Magadoff." Like many of the other characters applying for a visa, he is unable to produce the documents the Secretary demands. Declaring that "art is the artist's only passport," he attempts to prove his identity by demonstrating a variety of his tricks, making Mr. Kofner's watch disappear and reappear, and hypnotizing everyone else in the room into dancing with each other. When the Secretary is more annoyed than impressed by these demonstrations, he proceeds to Rummage Fail through all his pockets, producing a rabbit (among other things) but no papers. | |

He takes on the persona of a stage magician when he's named tribute of the 43rd Hunger Games, where his interview is a magic show, his in-arena kills after themed after magic tricks, and he's given a magic hat, cape, and wand by the Gamemakers as a gift to look the part for his final trick (a "disappearing box"). He also does magic tricks during his Victor's party and was paid by Olga to hypnotize Lyme into volunteering for the Hunger Games. | |

Tragedies befall the group as Thalassa perishes in an accident caused by Zak and Valant, while Magnifi contracts several diseases that render him incurably ill. Then he chooses Zak as his successor and gives him the rights to his magic and screws over Valant, committing suicide to make it look like he had killed him, which leads Valant to frame Zak and kick start the game's plot. And the ultimate victim of it all is Trucy. If only she knew what was waiting for her in a sequel... | |

Magic in this setting is made more dangerous by mortals perceiving it, an effect called Disbelief, but it is possible to suspend Disbelief by masking it. (This won't work with the really flashy stuff like lightning bolts.) | |

Friday the 13th: The Series: "The Great Montarro". The episode in fact revolves around a number of them, from the cursed artifact's original owner, to a whole theater full of them competing for a prize, with several falling under suspicion before they are unfortunately eliminated and the true villain is revealed. Also, Jack was apparently one in his youth. One of the magicians Jack used to have an act with, Robert "The Great" Jandini, appears in "The Spirit of Television", being asked by Jack to help him, Micki, and Johnny out in debunking whom they suspect to be a phony medium. Unfortunately, said medium has the use of a cursed TV set, which she uses to kill some of her clients in exchange for prolonging her life, and Jandini ends up paying the ultimate price for trying to help the protagonists out, much to Jack's own rage and guilt. |

Introduced in the the ninth generation of the mainline Pokémon series, Meowscarada (the final form of the Paldean Grass-type starter Sprigatito) is partially based on illusionist stage magicians. The round flower that appears to be floating near its head is actually connected to it by a stem, which is hidden by a reflective fur lining on its cape. It plucks these flowers and stealthily rigs them around its opponents with careful misdirection, to set them off as pollen bombs. When it uses its signature move 'Flower Trick', a spotlight shines on the opponent as one of these bombs drops out of nowhere onto it, with a shower of petals and confetti. | |

Ace Attorney: Max Galactica from Justice For All is one, and good enough to win an international competition of stage magic. His signature trick is flying over the audience, but he also performs card tricks with Phoenix, Maya, and Gumshoe offstage. His flying act lands him in the defendant's seat when his fellow circus members claim to witness him flying away from the scene of a murder. The Apollo Justice game introduces a legitimate magician team, Troupe Gramarye, consisting of Magnifi, Zak, Thalassa, Valant and Trucy. Tragedies befall the group as Thalassa perishes in an accident caused by Zak and Valant, while Magnifi contracts several diseases that render him incurably ill. Then he chooses Zak as his successor and gives him the rights to his magic and screws over Valant, committing suicide to make it look like he had killed him, which leads Valant to frame Zak and kick start the game's plot. And the ultimate victim of it all is Trucy. If only she knew what was waiting for her in a sequel... Spirit of Justice introduces Bonny de Famme, a rookie magician who is working with Trucy. There's actually two of her; Bonny and her twin sister Betty. In addition, Trucy found an older member of Troupe Gramarye, Mr. Reus, to work with her as well. Once again, there are actually two of him, though it's much darker - Trucy knew the second Mr. Reus, Manov Mistree, while the first, Roger Retinz, manipulated Trucy's show and killed his successor to ruin Trucy's life. |

It nearly burned the entire carnival, prompting the carnival manager to fire him on spot. The only good magic trick he has is a Pokémon called Exeggcute which can do an effective Hypnosis spell on people. Pokémon: Jirachi: Wish Maker: Butler, the Big Bad of the film, is a professional, traveling stage magician who, along with his assistant Diane, puts on an excellent performance for Ash and friends. However, Butler was a former Team Magma scientist who was fired when his machine to clone Groudon from fossilized remains ended in complete failure. As a result, Butler is using the traveling magic show as a front to find Jirachi, a wish-granting Pokémon that theoretically could achieve what his machine had failed. |

Mandrake the Magician was the very first comic book superhero - he could do "real" magic as opposed to illusions - making this Older Than Superman. DC also had Mysto, a nonmagical crime-solving Stage Magician, very likely based on Mandrake. However, unlike Mandrake, Mysto possessed no real magic powers, and relied upon sleight of hand and hypnosis. |

Unfortunately, they aren't very good at it, and the audience hates their performance (in part because Harvey keeps insisting on doing the same trick, covering two items with a pair of identical canisters and "magically" switching them back and forth, over and over again). | |
