Classical magic generally refers to Chinese traditional magic. Its performance style emphasizes antiquity, so it is called "classical trick" or "ancient color trick".
Tianjin, known as the "magic Den", is one of the important towns for the inheritance of classical magic. It is characterized by a large number of practitioners and a collection of famous teachers. Zhang Baoqing, Han Bingqian, Zhu Liankui and other master magicians all started in Tianjin. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, they were in the entertainment places where people gathered, such as "Sanwu", and they were selling arts and teaching apprentices at the same time. Over the years, they promoted the continuous development of folk tricks in Tianjin. From the first generation of artists in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, there have been five or six generations of successors and famous magicians at home and abroad from generation to generation. Luo Wentao, Mu Wenqing, Yang Xiaoting, Chen Yanan, Wang dianying and others had a great influence on the refinement of Chinese trick skills and the improvement of performance forms. Tianjin's trick shows are rich and colorful, adhering to the three systems of "hand color, teasing, and hiding disgust". Masterpieces of large, medium, and small-scale tricks have been handed down, such as "Si Liang", "Ping Di Ba Bei", "Hai Di Lao Sha" and "Shui Jie Zhi" Lian, Guyuan Bangzi and Xianren Qidou are the representatives of them. Due to their long-term performance in the surrounding environment, they have formed the unique style of Tianjin's "mouth color connection". "Color" is magic, and "mouth" is the abbreviation of "make mouth", that is to say while changing. When performing, it is as usual, eloquent and humorous. Through dialogue with the audience, it makes the audience participate in the performance, and conceals the passing of magic in the friendly and natural communication. This kind of performance form, which blends the magic skills with the folk oral literature, and the local sounds and feelings with the audience, makes the audience never tire of it.
From ancient times to the present, tricks not only enrich folk cultural life, but also shine brilliantly in foreign cultural exchanges. Chinese tricks, such as Xianren picking beans and haidilaosha, are regarded as classics. However, few young people in Tianjin are learning classical tricks professionally, and the traditional skills of all kinds of tricks are greatly lost, which urgently needs to be protected.
