Nobody knows exactly what the first magic trick was, or when magic began. The earliest known magic performance was around 2600 B.C., performed by and Egyptian named Dedi. This trick was similar to the modern "cut a lady in half" trick, but instead of cutting a lady in half, it beheaded an animal and then brough it back to life, unharmed. However, it is suspected that magic had been developeding long before that. Many people will think that the Cups and Balls trick is the oldest, because it is the most common today, but it developed somewhere between 2500 and 2200 B.C., over a century after Dedi's magic.
