The Historical Conjurer

Today, Professor DR Schreiber presents an historic look at the beginnings of modern magic in his performances and exhibitions. Join Professor DR Schreiber as he leads you on a stroll through the past centuries of conjuring entertainment.

His unique presentations entertain while educating the audience about historical events, literary and cultural figures, and the science and art of conjuring.

Now you too can experience magic, as it was centuries ago. Invite Professor DR Schreiber, the historical conjurer, to your next event.

Early in the 18th century, magic (or conjuring as it was referred) emerged as a genuine art form and entertainment. Professors of natural philosophy and conjuring would rent taverns, legitimate theaters or lecture halls for the exhibition and displays of legerdemain, necromancy, or what would today be called “illusion” and “magic tricks.” Top dollar would be paid by the citizens of Europe to see the latest discoveries in the science of “natural philosophy.”

Professor DR Schreiber, the historical conjurer, is a member of the Academy of Magic Arts (Magic Castle) and former president and member for the Society of American Magicians Portland Assembly. Professor DR Schreiber was awarded with the Stan Kramien Excellence in Stage Magic Award from the Society of American Magicians Portland Assembly.

My performance is best in an indoor space. I am flexible and able to adjust to most environments. I also have sound equipment and lighting gear available for an additional fee.
